Counter-Strike Source : Test release date.  by James M at 10:33

hl2 Hallife2.net today gave us a date for the beta release of CS Source

Half-Life2.net reports that the folks over at Half-life Portal has received word from Gabe Newell concerning the Counter-Strike: Source BETA test date for Condition Zero owners via e-mail.

August 10th is the day for CZ owners (it will start pre-loading on the 5th).

Furthermore, CS: Source BETA will be 300 MB according to Mr. Newell. For the full post (in German), you may check it out here, and the translated version (in English) through this handy link.

I know many people have gone out and bought Condition Zero for the sole reason of getting their hands on the beta of Counter-Strike:Source so this will be welcome news.

Fingers crossed though, we all know what valve are like with dates. The added fact the it's going to be delivered over steam doesn't fill me with confidence. Though by the sounds of it they will make use of the 'trickle' delivery system from the 5th of August.

Valve should be given some kind of Environmental award, as it appears it is very involved in recycling old maps.

Indeed, I won't be bothering with the beta, no way I'm buying CZ.
