Counter-Strike Update

[CSN NewsBot]

A new Counter-Strike update has just been released, the update also affects Condition Zero, but it's only a minor bug fix. This update mostly adds some of the technical changes from a recent CZ update. Most notably, the latest riot shield exploit has been fixed, and the shield's behavior has been modified slightly. Also, clans can now annoy each other by making restarts last 60 seconds. Here's the full changelog from SteamPowered.com:[break="click here to view the full list of changes"]Counter-Strike

Not too shabby on the shield updates. Sucks I didn't even notice this update when I started playing CS tonight and ran into an error. Oh well, my fault.

[fux]

rofl, i guess if they changed the behavior of the he grenade like it is now in cz then people would run amok o _ O

Always good to see more updates, but I'm sort of surprised that they didn't include the new grenade behaviour.

From what I saw in my monitor window, it wasn't that huge of a download anyhow.
