New Counter-Strike

by Maarten Goldstein Dec 30, 1999 7:12pm CST tags: Valve, Half-Life, Counter-Strike
A new version of the insanely popular Half-Life mod Counter-Strike has been released, beta 5.0. The page is currently quite slow (for me at least) but once you get to the download page there's a list of mirrors for the 31mb full download or a 12mb patch. If you didn't know, Valve helped a little with development of this new release (which has a lot of new features). 3D Palette has an interview with lead modeler/skinner Gooseman. They also have a new screenshot that shows off the new 'snow dude' terrorist player model by Gooseman and a hostage by Valve's Chuck Jones.
