Dude, you hurt the mind with such ill-founded logic.

[itsMrHankey2u]

yea, wat is rc?

i sort of expect dust2, even if they say dust, but that just may be me hoping.



btw: dust2, italy, aztec, dust, piranesi(first) are all known to be done already.

While I think one map is reasonable, I hope they choose either de_dust2 or de_aztec rather than dust. Those maps have much better gameplay and will give competitive teams time to set up strats in the BETA, along with some other benefits.

So why do you automatically go with Aztec?

Well considering the current engine, Aztec is just about the most demanding CS map out there (thinking of the CZ weather effects and such especially). That might not be a concern with the Source engine, though. Dust might also be a good choice, since it's so popular.



No sense bickering about it, we'll find out soon enough.

I bought cz before I heard about the beta and even if someone bought it just for the beta, who cares if someone bought it just for the beta. Get a job 20-40 dollars is not a lot. I laugh at all of you who are to poor and/or cheap to buy it.

[Kill Yourself]

Thats fine with me. I just want to experience SOURCE (not leaked beta source).



And de_dust isn't a bad map; it certainly isn't my favorite, but its not bad.

I bought CZ awhile back before the CS:s test was announced, im happy with CZ and wow has it payed off; new models, maps, sounds, and single player. Now a playtest! To all of you who complained, BOO FRIGIN HOO, 1 map. Who cares at least we get to play it, and you dont :P



I bet somebody will make a map or two anyways with, well you know. That program I never downloaded but most of you did and should get arrested for it.

This is bullshit we only get 1 map for somthing that keep for less than a week.

Stop Complaining, It's better then nothing. I wasn't expecting them to release all the maps anyway.

It's demanding hardware wise, not necessarily engine wise. Since that's all this really is, is a test for bugs in the Source engine, releasing Aztec could pose more hardware releated issues rather than engine releated issues. In Valve's eye right now, Engine bugs > Hardware deficiencies until release, at least that's what it sounds like with this BETA.



Don't get me wrong, something is better than nothing. I too would love to see something like dust2 or aztec, but those maps weren't suggested as a possible map in the above e-mail. I'm merely sticking with dust because it's more concrete right now then Aztec or anything else is just based off this e-mail. Until something further is announced or stated by someone at Valve, I'll stick with saying it'll be dust they'll give us.

Dust is a fun map....till you get good...

[alvinliu]

i have 1 question about counter-strike: source BETA, is it going to be stable or full of bugs since it's beta?

like the game would crash if this or that happens?

[Sobegreen]

Well so much for trying to get the CS community to do something different. Lets all play de_dust the most commonly played map in CS 1.6. Hell I'd rather play dust2 or maybe some new map we haven't played yet. Either way can't say I won't play CS:S during the beta because that would be a big lie.

[Simplex]

So if 365 of us (and you know there'll be more) play for 1 hour each and one of us crashes, that's ok? That's not something I'd be happy with.
