Available immediately, Valve has launched an extensive update to Counter-Strike: Source, now in beta.

The update includes a host of new features and functionality developed in collaboration with Hidden Path Studios. These include 144 new achievements, a new domination and revenge system, player stats, and more.

This beta will run for a limited time, and once complete, the update will be deployed to all Counter-Strike: Source owners for free via Steam.

Server admins may download the dedicated server files via the HLDSUpdateTool using "-game cssbeta" in the command line.

sounds like they are trying to bring stuff from TF2 over into CSS. They should just get it over with and admit they are developing CS2.

I can see them trying to bring out CS2, Ep3 and Portal 2 at the same time, but they aren't confident of their own release dates, so they won't admit to it, and don't wanna kill the TF2 community, kinda like they did to the TFC community with to much focus on CS, but now CSS isn't getting the attention, so they'll do bulk updates, like happened with TFC.

anyway, Ep3 shouldn't be taking this long to be announced, as it's almost 2 years, but it's supposed to be episodic gameplay, so that leads me to believe they are trying to get a orange box 2 together
