CS: Source Major Preload

[CSN NewsBot]

Steampowered.com brings good news of the continuing preloading of both Half-Life 2 and CS: Source. As alluded to earlier, it seems even more of CS: Source will be preloaded in this phase, bringing the CS: Source preload to near completion. However, it should be noted that the release date for Half-Life 2 and CS: Source still remains undetermined.

The fourth phase of the Half-Life 2 preload begins to Steam account holders today.



This will allow users to download the majority of Counter-Strike: Source in encrypted form. No purchase is required to pre-load Half-Life 2, but is required to activate the game. The moment the game is made available, those who have pre-loaded and purchased the game via Steam will be ready to start playing.

I would think that this means Half-Life 2 will be released sooner than later

This calls for me to break out the Corey Hart, and wear my sunglasses at night.

So now that the majority of CS:S has been preloaded, does that mean it's out of the BETA stage?

[xlokix]

Not officially.



My preload is stuck at 92%, damn.

Hmmm for some reason mine says it's alredy up to date and I just started steam right now it has been off all day.



EDIT:NVM I found out that anyone who currently has CS:Source Beta preloaded this the other day.

People on forums are saying it only preloads for people who don't have CS:S beta already

You've got an edit button, but I guess it's good that you asked since other people probably won't take the initiative to go look at forums.
