Title: Source-enhanced Counterstrike coming this summer
Post by: Jamoe on May 12, 2004, 10:20:48 PM
QuoteThe legendary online FPS Counter-Strike is to receive a Souce-engine makeover and re-released this summer, Valve boss Gabe Newell revealed at E3 this morning.

Following the latest showing of numerous gameplay demos of Half-Life 2 (which will be available for download via Eurogamer later today), Newell surprised the 20-strong audience by showing off the Aztec level of Counter-Strike running in Source.

When quizzed, he said that the game would not be a free update, but would in fact be released commercially via retail and for download via Steam at the same time as Half-Life 2, at the end of this summer.

All other Half-Life content would also be made available in enhanced form, he said, including Half-Life itself, Team Fortress, Opposing Force and Blue Shift. It is not known what the retail price will be, but it is thought to be at standard budget price.

hmm, sounds interesting.

great. So now we have to pay for mods that used to be free. Excellent idea. Why didn't I think of that :(

Damn you Jamoe - you posted this just one minute before I did over in the 1.6 forum. I'm used to being outpinged in games, but on a forum? That's a new one... :P

I like the idea of a straight port to a new GFX engine - should mean that the gameplay stays constant with scope for more 'eye candy'.

Delivered by Steam - hmmmm. <_<

New stuff of CS okay, by Steam: HELP!!!!

Man, Steam is going to get a lot of money out of this. I think I'll buy a few shares in Steam if that's possible.

If Valve can deliver a new game, be HL2 or CS2, with a completely new graphics engine, then I for one will not mind handing out some money for it. If they want to deliver it through the steam engine, again I have no problem with that, it seems to work quite well as an anti piracy device, which is no doubt what Valve intended, and if a quality piece of software gets released then all those involved should be paid for it.

Saw the Eurogamer vid.  Hot damn!  Aztec looks purtier than a real purty thing, with CS running on the source engine.

I'm with Zok, in that I will have no qualms in handing over some hard-earned for CS2 (or whatever they're going to call it) if it's going to look like that.  However, this is Valve we're talking about, and we can only hope that they don't manage to somehow bork the gameplay in doing the translation.

Released via Steam though?  Oooh nasty... :rolleyes:

i dont think this is actualy CS2. Ive got a feeling that CS 2 will use the actualy physics more. i hope. I can see ppl cutting the rope bridge own on aztec lol...

weve still got the actualy hl2 multiplayer stuff to look forwrd too. :)

this is turning into a bit of a hl2 thread, so ill post stuff in the other games forum

It's not CS2 - It's CS: Source (Or CSS for maximum confusion).

You don't think you're a little.....obsessed?  :dribble:  I got a baaaaad feeling about HL2. When/if it does come out I think a lot of people are going to be mighty disappointed. My 2c.

i played doom 3 beta as a tester for id and my machine could just about hande it! p4 2.0ghz,128mb radeon 9600 pro,256ram nothing special but the graphics couldn't handel beta and it was not very clear anyway and lag was a problem! so i think we will all need high end cards to run hl2 and doom3

that is why it is called beta.

A beta version is to see how it runs and what needs to be changed (in short words it is a test version)

It depends tho as if the beta is showing a more basic model of the game surely the full game will be much more eye pleasing! ppl i know with 9800 pro ran it fine!  :(

Looks mind numbingly spectacular. Especially the water effects, sounds and the potential multitude of git spots =D. Hopefully some new official maps to push this new engine to it's limits.

Bring on actual use for Para other than "ooooooo!" effect!
