New match player stats and summary screens
New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player
Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures
New cinematic death camera
New domination and revenge system
Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display
Incorporated many source engine updates

This beta will run for a limited time, and once complete, the update will be deployed to all Counter-Strike: Source owners for free via Steam.

Server admins may download the dedicated server files via the HLDSUpdateTool using "-game cssbeta" in the command line.

Notice: Thanks for your interest. We've filled the available slots.

That doesn't excite me at all.. well see though

It was only open for an hour. Those lucky enough to jump in are now Beta-testers. Those of us that missed out, just have to wait till it gets released.

Satoon

I hope the GG devs aren't killing themselves right now and I hope its easy to modify GG for the new CS:S...

Nah, we still have our sanity. Luckily, we coded 5.1 well enough that it should require minimal changes to work with Orange Box (in theory).

Any news on when we can see gg for orangebox?
