Counter-Strike 1.6 Thursday
by Steve Gibson, Jan 13, 2003 4:34pm PSTLooks like we've gotten a firm date for the Counter-Strike 1.6 BETA release. This coming Thursday. In fact tomorrow we're going to get the go ahead to publish any other possible information that may not be known yet about 1.6. This release will only be available via the Steam 2.0 client which will be available on Fileshack. Some random CS related stuff from recent:
- de_airstrip screenshots (new map for 1.6) - CSNation 1.6 info page - Condition Zero preview (elements from CZ will be rolled into CS) - Steam preview (note the interface now looks like what is showin in the CZ preview)So, look for more info to be published here tomorrow afternoon on Counter-Strike 1.6, and then look for the Steam client to be made available on Fileshack on Thursday.

I have been seriously considering buying a mic for use with Counter-Strike, but there are so many options, I wouldn't know where to begin. For example:
http://www.bestbuy.com/ComputersPeripherals/GraphicsSound/Telephony.asp?m=488&cat=521&scat=525
Also, I own an XBOX and I was wondering if the XBOX Live mic can be adapted to also work on my PC? In which case, I could kill two birds with one stone by signing up for XBOX Live (which I have been on the fence about) and get a mic that works in Counter-Strike.
Btw, I live in a fairly small town in Canada, and we just don't have access (except through online) to some of this stuff. I have yet to see one of these mics in a retail store, so I will likely be forced to buy one online without trying it first.
If I have to buy a mic separate from XBOX Live, I don't want to go completely overboard and get a mic that's maybe too fancy for what I need in CS?
Any help/tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

CS 2.0 will probably be CZ 1.0.

steam 1.0 intentionally corrupted the map files so that you would have to redownload and load each map anytime a server changed maps, so that valve could put more stress on the steam servers without actually having vast numbers of people.
so in short, maps shouldn't take nearly as long to load with steam 2.0
