CS:S Beta, only for CZ owners?

[HDg4m3r]

"Starting later this summer, Valve will be conducting a limited-time beta of Counter-Strike: Source via Steam. The beta will first be open to subscribers of the Valve Cybercafé Program, and then extended to owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. The next installment of the world's number 1 online action game, Counter-Strike: Source blends CS' intense teamplay with the advanced technology of Valve's Source engine. For more information, please visit www.steampowered.com."

This means I'll have to blow money to buy CZ(aka steaming peice of ****) to beta test source?
:mad:

comments?

Bah, don't waste your money on CS:CZ just to beta test that new game. Just wait till the final release comes out.:)

[HDg4m3r]

yeah but they said beta testing could be up for a year.

[stealthassassin]

by that time HL2 might have come out and you can play that instead... who am i kidding, its never gonna come out. well, play doom 3 instead

[pap1stik]

you can buy a brand new condition zero cd key on ebay for under $16 with S&H. For the single player, graphics enhancements, and beta opportunity, i think it's worth it ... but you decide:

I don't know man, all these people on eBay selling CD keys ... methinks they probably use keygens or something ...

from an eBayer selling ...
This is a brand new un- registered CD key pulled from the box. You are the only one own the key and I will destroy right after sending to you. Althought no shipping fee is not needed but I will charge 2.00 handling fee to cover some fees.

Some fees? Hrmm ... I wonder what THOSE fees could be. :)

Just for a beta? No thanks, I'll wait until it's retail.

i wouldn't even bother - its run by Steam, the shittiest app to hit computers since... well... its the first.

[Kappa2001]

in case you don't know:
half-life 2 vouchers are allowed to play the beta....

I think they could be hackers to lol. They got banned from so many servers that the cd key is useless now

Um, how come it would take a year to beta test CS:S?
Seems like an easy port of maps :confused:

Isnt Source the HL2 engine? Wouldnt this game just be CS2 then?

No, because its the exact same game with the different engine.

[soupnazi]

They should just call it CS 1.7;)

[Terry]

no you dummy, brush up your math.
it's CS:1.75 ;)

[proxemo666]

Oh? You guys didnt know there was a hidden agenda behind Valve? Thats why I preordered CS:CZ because I knew that 1)It was the MOTHER OF ALL EXPANSIONS and 2) You needed it to participate in their beta. I would have gladly payed full price $49.99 but much to my delight, it was cheaper.

Man, the people who are stupid enough to buy CZ won't be able to handle the awesome goodness that comes with Source.

They are the people who never played half life and will wonder what the hell CS:S is (let alone the exitense of HL2)

Life's unfair!
Why give good stuff to people who won't even appreciate it??

Exactly! It's like spoiled kids who are given expensive/fast cars as their first car. (which they later crash) :o

Unless they go buy Condition Zero knowing full well they'll be invited into the CS: Source beta.

Everytime I see pictures of some exotic/expensive/classic crashed car, I think ... "Ugh, stupid kids!". You KNOW it was some stupid kid that crashed it! Don't give your kids nice cars, they're just gonna be stupid and wreck it, then that's one less nice car around! ARGH!

Oh yeah, CS:Source ... well, screw that. I'll just get HL2 and CSS together. It wouldn't be fiscally smart to buy CZ, then have to buy HL2 and get CSS with it ... again.

Some kid living in the Trifalger (sp?) area near king ed and mcdonald has THREE exotic sports cars to himself, each one well over 100k and he even fully modded them :rolleyes:

Wanna know something else that would piss a tons of people off?
He is in like, gr10 :ROLLEYES:

I mean, I am driving a friggin 10 year old mini van (Chrysler, ew) for god's sake, why does he get an SLK, Porshe and an M3? (I think he sold the M3 for something better)

Oh ya, his family has 6 cars :p
And they sell right after new cars come out.

One thing to note is that they don't have a ferrari or lambo... that's weird, they should be able to afford that easily.

omgwtfbbq! :mad:

[PointlesS]

just fyi...people who bought an ati card and got the hl2 coupon thingy will also get a chance to be in the beta...

[Terry]

I read CS cafes will also get the beta.
(read from planethalflife)

[proxemo666]

jeezus...my computer broke down and I havent used it in like 3-4 weeks. I suddenly get this email from "Gabe Newell" (my ***) saying, "We noticed you were not playing CS for awhile. Why?" I was like ***. For some reason I got really ticked off. I sent a reply saying, "Concentrate on HL2 and dont worry about me." What I should have said was, "Some hackers broke into my comp and stole the files needed to play CS.":D

[soupnazi]

LOL! It was probably him.;)

[PCJ]

heh, I got CZ with my 9800pro. I guess I'll be holding on to that key.

khpgq (is that his name?) is probably hitting head head against a wall
