CS:Source update BETA?

As the rumours were spread out across the eSports community that Valve releasing a new Counter-Strike: Souce update, it actually came true. Steam announces a press release which shocked many gamers and shined some light on the game that some people thought was "dead".

"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. 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."

Now from the feed back that I have recieved from current eSports fans was not very good but from the players who got a chance to play the beta said it took the game to the next level. No they didn't add the "real" recoil everyone was hoping for, the graphics didn't change and the movents didn't change either but they did add a lot of new cool features to the game which caught my eye.

This is a list of new features from Steam

¡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

Personally I think Valve did the right thing, they added achievements to the game so now you have a purpose to play for endless hours and have something to show for it. Stats is another thing that really caught my eye and will deffintly get me into playing CS:Source once again. We all hope that more players will come back to or buy CS:Source and keep the game going strong.

Please check back for more updates on the Beta as they are released.
