Counter-Strike 1.6 Thursday

by Steve Gibson Jan 13, 2003 6:34pm CST tags: Steam, Counter-Strike
Looks 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.
