[News]The new Counter Strike Source update is UP!

[ExTrEmEDwarf]

In commemoration of Mac owners getting the game and PC owners getting the update, Valve has briefly discounted the multiplayer shooter by 66%, making it $6.80.

 

As with Valve's other Steam for Mac releases, those that already own the game on Steam for PC will be able to download a free copy of the Mac version, with those that buy the game getting both versions for the price of one. Additionally, Counter-Strike: Source supports cross-platform play, enabling PC and Mac gamers to play together.

 

As for the changes the update brings, look no further than below:

 

Updates to Counter-Strike: Source have been released and the game is now available on the Mac. To celebrate this update, Counter-Strike: Source will be on sale for 66% off until Friday. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

 

General

144 achievements added

New lifetime player stats and summary screens

New match player stats and summary screens

New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player

Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures

New cinematic death camera

New domination and revenge system

Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display

Incorporated many source engine updates

Disallowed the use of arbitrary command strings for the message of the day screen. Now only a specific list of commands is allowed.

Addressed issue in which AWPs and Scouts sometimes did not make the zooming sound.

cvar mat_showlowresimage is now a cheat command.

Many development console commands which would crash the server removed.

Updated source engine addresses many issues:

Better flashlight effect

Better HDR behavior

Multicore rendering support

Added sv_disablefreezecam cvar to turn off the freezecam on a server.

Added sv_nonemesis cvar to turn off domination/revenge on a server.

Added sv_nomvp cvar to turn off MVP stars on a server.

Added sv_nostats cvar to turn off stats on a server.

Removed -tickrate command line option and defaulted tick rate to 66 rather than 33. This addressed a number of issues, including:

Tick rate affecting how fast doors open / close

Tick rate causing players hitting the ground to stutter

Tick rate affecting the firing mechanisms of certain guns

 

UI

Added the following cvars to allow players to customize their scoreboards.

cl_scoreboard_ct_color_red

cl_scoreboard_ct_color_green

cl_scoreboard_ct_color_blue

cl_scoreboard_t_color_red

cl_scoreboard_t_color_green

cl_scoreboard_t_color_blue

cl_scoreboard_dead_color_red

cl_scoreboard_dead_color_green

cl_scoreboard_dead_color_blue

Changed the screen that appears when the message of the day fails to load to display proper error text.

Made the CT silhouette for the auto-select option in the Choose a Class screen smaller and corrected its aspect ratio.

Addressed a problem that occasionally caused characters to be colored incorrectly on the Change a Class screen.

 

Gameplay

Made ladders easier to climb. Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle.

Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.

Fixed issue in which you weren’t given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order). Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as ‘*** in 1’ on console.

There’s now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.

If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.

If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.

If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.

If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.

Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.

CS:S Is going so down with this update.That stupid Valve never thought that with these updates will lose so many people, because the new update sucks..The original CS:S is the best and there won't be any other...like Counter Strike ProMod, this update will be a fail aswell..

The new counter strike source update just failed.A lot of bugs,much commands aren't working also much lag.

So now cs 1.6 is better than the stupid update.

RIP CSS 2004-2010.
