As someone with a middle aged machine, it's nice to see devs still working legacy support. After I get over the glitz and glammor of all the fancy schmancy effects of the new source engine, which will be a must for SP, it's nice to know that I can drop the settings back to where they were for CS one and get blazing framerate.

Steam forums are buzzing with new problems cropping up. I guess the most glaring one is voicecomm is down for some reason. I dont know if the server operators have to turn it on or not, but ive been in many servers today and no one was speaking.

Also the update is estimated to be around 350+mb making the CSS install around 850mb total. Alot of people are speculating that they are going ahead and preloading CSS full to the beta users. Who knows though.

I found this a few weeks ago, finally reported it, I don't think they fixed it yet though.

exploit alert: if you type 'impulse 200' in the console, your active gun becomes invisible

Anyone else find anything like this? Impulse codes, etc...?

Just so you guys know. This update of Counter-Strike is over 300Mb in size. Why? Because they're preloading content (textures, models, etc) for other Counter-Strike maps.

Which ones, you ask?

de_piranesi
cs_italy
cs_havana
de_dust2
de_aztec
de_cbble
de_chateau

There is a thread on Steampowered that shows all the overhead views of these new maps that were extracted from the newest update.

FYI: This update is FUCKING RETARDED.

Just last night, I would open up CS:S, and gleefully play for an hour or two. This morning...

Terrible lag. Player warping. SCOPE LAG. Yes it now lags when you want to zoom in.

Valve, you're fucking retarded. The netcode was actually GOOD. You've gone and fucked it up.

Sorry. I'm angry that they messed up one of my favorite games to play.
