Well we got the previews, we got the screenshots, but we never got the download... Counter-Strike v1.3 just kinda didnt come out during the first week of this month as originally announced/planned. The Counter-Strike page has an update on whats up with that.

As you can tell, the anticipated "first week" of September has come and gone. Things change quickly with large releases like this, so I can only give my best estimate. Now it's looking like in the next 2 weeks (hopefully next week, but that could change). There are a lot of factors, such as Retail and Mod version issues lining up with Half-Life patches to support the new Valve technology. Regardless, we really think you guys are going to like the voice communication and proxy spectator mode -- both new features will add great depth to all Half-Life mods. We've tested the voice comm even on the slowest connections; everybody will be able to enjoy it. Keep an eye on cs.net -- things are about to get crazy.

Rumor has it a lot of people will abuse the voice comm system for the first few weeks. Cant wait!
