Weekly News Update - New Player Models Coming

[CSN NewsBot]

So, I'm a couple of hours late with this news. You'll have that sometimes when life intervenes. Without further ado, here is Valve's weekly Steam news update that mentions the upcoming release of Kalt for DoD: Source, and two new model selections for CS: Source!

It appears that the response to this week's release of the Counter-Strike: Source map Militia has been overwhelmingly positive, and we hope the community is having fun playing it. We're also planning on including two new player models, one from each side, to choose from on each side in the next major Counter-Strike: Source release.



Next week we'll be releasing the new map for Day of Defeat: Source, named Kalt, which we mentioned a couple of weeks ago. Playtesting internally has wrapped up on the map (although we're still playing daily), and we're expecting this sixth map to be one of the more popular releases we've done so far. Also, there will be a Day of Defeat: Source retail box available at software retailers around the start of February. As with all of our games, expect more updates and more content to keep coming.

Here's to hoping that one of the models is the aforementioned Leet Krew.

Wait a minute, did they just say "two new models"? As in, ENTIRELY new models?

[Zips]

More than likely Source versions of the models from 1.6. Hopefully Leet Krew and one of the unused CT models, but that's just a guess.

ARCTIC AVENGERS !!!! AND SAS !!!!11111111111

I hope the CT model is going to be the SAS that they were going to release a while back but didn't. As for Terrorist. Leet Crew...or Arctic? There ain't to many snow maps for CS:S so Leet would make the most sense for the maps already on there.



Or, they could do the Middle Eastern Terrorist from CZ in there. It was a cool model, but unlikely to happen methinks.



Either way, it all good to me.

Don't they usually give screenshots if they're close to completion?

It's already been confirmed that Leet Krew is in and the CZ Arab is out.

I hope they start to include falling snow though. It's been far too long since I've seen it done (well) in a game.
