A peek at de_nuke, HDR, and Two Updated Models

[CSN NewsBot]

As promised last week, the most recent Steam news update feature a peak at what's in store for CS: Source fans this month.

Last week we talked about some of the new content coming to Counter-Strike: Source, namely two new maps along with an expanded selection of player models. The first piece we release will be the map de_nuke, shown in the screenshot below. Also visible in the shot are the new Guerilla and GIGN player models. Before the map is released we'll be adding High Dynamic Range lighting, so de_nuke will provide the first opportunity (for people who have capable hardware) to see HDR in Counter-Strike: Source. The map should be ready to go in a few weeks, and the new player models will show up shortly after Nuke is made available.



We're also getting close to finishing our next Day of Defeat: Source map, Argentan. We're doing daily playtests on it now, and hopefully we'll be able to put together some images of it next week.

Nuke in all of its Source glory

They say an image is worth 1,000 words. I can only think of one, "Wow!" Update: nba1341 has provided a similar image from CS 1.6's Nuke that shows the difference that the Source engine makes.

wasn't the original nuke based around nuclear missles stored underground and in the wharehouse?



Now we have a nuclear power facility.



yay?

Who says we're only getting those two models? They may only be showing those two right now cause the others are ugly as ass, but anything is better than the CTs we have now.



Hopefully Valve hasn't botched nuke like they did with other maps, but that seems like alot to ask from them.

stop bitching if you don't like revisions of old maps. it's not the original, it's a remake, and as such is going to be and has every right to be different.



hopefully they'll playtest this map.

Oh, lovely nuke. Now on source. Now source is looking interesting. But we still have to deal with those public servers that has those ugly maps valve put on source, they're so horrible that I don't even remember the names, I think its compound or something like that one of them.



But I looking forward to see nuke on source. Exciting news, but... weeks?

[sixletter]

Alright...looks like we'll get all the classic models back..w00t!



Any info on cs_arabstreets or de_tundra ?
