    1.3 Update

    Sm0lders told me wrong: vertigo will not be cut from CS 1.3. A lot of sites posted that vertigo would be cut (based on info from this site), I'm really sorry for posting false information. I assumed Sm0lder's was in the know. If everyone who posted about it could please post a mini-retraction, that'd be great. Thanks to Barney & cliffe for the info.



    To make it up to you, I investigated into the rumors of a third new map being added. After chatting with cliffe, he told me that the new map is de_storm by mapper flipmode|Daank! Congrats to Daank. Here are some hot pics by mikezilla:

    What we know about CS 1.3 maps:

    » Only Thunder and Rotterdam will be cut, for file size and popularity reasons. Confirmed by the CS team.

    » Torn, Survivor, and Storm have been confirmed to make it into 1.3. They're all DE maps, which will ensure they get plenty of league play.



    So we ended up gaining a map, rather than losing one. I'm deeply sorry about all the confusion, hopefully I won't be shamed into a building large box factory (the factory being large).

    1.3 Update

    The official counter-strike site has been updated by Cliffe, concerning yet more news about 1.3.
    As you can tell, the anticipated "first week" of September has come and gone. Things change quickly with large releases like this, so I can only give my best estimate. Now it's looking like in the next 2 weeks (hopefully next week, but that could change). There are a lot of factors, such as Retail and Mod version issues lining up with Half-Life patches to support the new Valve technology. Regardless, we really think you guys are going to like the voice communication and proxy spectator mode -- both new features will add great depth to all Half-Life mods. We've tested the voice comm even on the slowest connections; everybody will be able to enjoy it. Keep an eye on cs.net -- things are about to get crazy.
    That will hopefully put your minds at rest for the moment, let's hope it comes along as soon as is physically possible! Go to the counter-strike homepage for all the official 1.3 news as and when it happens!
