Counter Strike Source 2?

 

Well not yet technically, but it may as well be with the Counter Strike Source Beta that's currently running through the gauntlet. The Valve Store has the Beta available for download, but alas all the current Beta slots have been filled for now. Of course we'll be keeping on top of this and will let you know if anything new develops!

So what can we expect from this massive update? According to Valve, the following:

• 144 achievements
• 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

Color me as excited as a tweenie school girl at a Twilight Convention. NLG will be keeping tabs on this and the other heavy developments coming from Valve this year. Stay tuned!
