Thanks for the info Lchevy

Anyways, they do say its just the physics and lighting thats been updated. I'm still waiting on whether some hl2 models have been used in it. I doubt though, would look a bit silly fighting a highly detailed bullsquid with the rest of the baddies looking all blurry.

It's installing as I type this.What is the deal with Counterstrike?Kinda cheep of them not to have put the CD's for the game in some type of CD jewel case huh?

I guess there reasoning is that once Steam has your cd-key, it doesn't really need the cds all that much anymore. It can simply download the whole thing if it needs to. So you can just dump the cds back in to the case and forget about them for a good while.

Another reason could be that vivendi are just greedy twats who are trying to get as much money back from being jooped by Valve.

The GFX are UNBELIEVEABLE!!!The people look so real.Kinda scary.This thing makes FarCry and DOOM3 look like a bugger.
