Counter-Strike Revamped for HL2?

[CSN NewsBot]

Update: Although Counter-Strike's Source port is the first indication we've seen of Half-Life 2 multiplayer, it may not be safe to say that it'll be the only multiplayer component to ship with the game.



Shacknews, a reputable gaming news site, is posting information on the first Half-Life 2 multiplayer mode revealed... and it's Counter-Strike running on the Source engine!

Half-Life 2 multiplayer is Counter-Strike on the Source engine and will be available at the same time as when Half-Life 2 ships. Counter-Strike gameplay doesn't seem to have changed much, if at all.

Source is the highly advanced graphics mechanism behind Half-Life 2. By integrating it with Counter-Strike, Valve make a quantum leap in creating an immersive environment for the game we all know and love. Half-Life 2 also includes an impressive physics engine and one would speculate that this new CS iteration might include such a feature.



More information is set to be revealed in a Valve presentation this evening, and Shacknews are promising a video of this exciting new Counter-Strike development.

This doesn't mean that there won't be a standard HL2 multiplayer. I doubt Valve would pass up the opportunity to let us loose on a multiplayer game which involved the manipulator gun...

*Longing Sigh*



I wonder if I lapse into a coma, if I can wake up right when HL2 and CS2 are being released later this year. I can't wait for all of this.
