* Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display
* Incorporated many source engine updates

Sounds OKAY but i think it'd kinda ruin the feel of CS and turn it into an arcade shooter rather than a strategic FPS. We've been playing without this stuff for so long. you think we really need it?

They gave CS:S AIDS.

That's kinda messed. Especially the avatar part. Who cares?

Valve is fucking gay.

CSS is dead to me.

This reminds me of when they took out ammo buying, and added that weapon system that would price the weapons based on how much the weapon is used.

Fucking awps and deagles were like 10k, shit was fuckin GAY.

we'll see i guess, sounds like they're just gonna add to cs:s what they already have in dod:s with all the achievements and shite.

I'll be the ass and say this might be a good thing. css is so boring, a little injection might be what we need. I'm not sure if they will do the ranked servers like l4d2 or bc2, which would be bad for us... but at least they recognize the strong community behind it.

I am with Leroy on this one. I mean it couldn't really kill CSS to have achievements and stuff. At the end of the day it's really the player's choice whether to simply "play the game" or experiment with all the new nick nacks. I think it would be kinda cool to throw a few add-ons here and there, compared to other games today CSS has just become bland and boring.

poor css

OKay, but if they're going to add all this new stuff, it turns the game into a 100% carbon-copy TF2 Clone.
Cinematic Death Camera? useless. i hope we can bypass that.
Revenge / Domination system? I did a good job keeping up with that shit in my head, thanks.
Stat Summary? Bye bye HLX stats.

Its this stuff that explains why i dont PLAY tf2 that much, it has a childish feel to it, and im afraid thats what's going to happen to CS with this update. it will become TF2

I think CS:S was best when it was just a barebones game. None of the characters talk on thier own.and there is no music, which creates an interesting feel. its just a straight up Run-around-and-kill-people game.


and that was awesome.

If i hear those retarded sounds when i kill get revenge on someone, i will /facepalm.

+1 if you wanna update the game, make multi-core rendering supported so everyone can get 300fps and then graphics can see a boost in a next update. Stupid, stupid motherfuckers...

Orange box runs on multi core, CS will have the same benefit, everyone that has multi core will see a massive boost in framerates. Also the orange box SDK has lighting preview and many other tweaks I want.
