Huge update for Counter-Strike: Source results in new beta
Counter-Strike: Source, the much-maligned update to classic Counter-Strike 1.6, has received an extensive update to bring new features and functionality to the aging (but still ultra popular) online team-based shooter.
Currently in ‘beta’ (unfortunately Valve has already filled all available beta testing slots), this update to Counter-Strike: Source has been implemented with help from developers Hidden Path Studios. Once the beta has run its course, the update will be applied to Counter-Strike: Source proper, for free naturally. It’s the Valve way.
Amongst the new changes to the game are updates to the Source engine, and a new ‘Domination and Revenge’ system. Check out the full list of features below:
- 144 achievements added
- New lifetime player stats and summary screens
- New match player stats and summary screens
- New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player
- Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures
- New cinematic death camera
- New domination and revenge system
- Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display
- Incorporated many source engine updates
