During the initial production of the Source engine, Team Fortress 2 was to be the first multiplayer game to be released on it. After various development issues, TF2 was eventually delayed until long after the release of Half-Life 2.
Wanting a multiplayer component, Valve decided to create a remake of the popular Counter-Strike with help from Turtle Rock Studios , who were also developing Counter-Strike: Condition Zero at the time.
Many of the features in Condition Zero , including bot AI, were implemented from the start. Maps started as basic layouts of the originals that were redesigned with help from concept art and 3D skybox technology.
It's interesting to note that Ido Magal, one of the mappers, created an in-house test map known as Rockworld, based on "everyone's favorite fragfest" Iceworld. The game was then bundled with Half-Life 2 in October for an official release. Under this system, item prices are determined based on their demand the previous week. Even before the system was released there was opposition from the community.
Other updates, such as an enhanced radar system, have been generally accepted as a positive enhancement. On May 7, , Valve released an update, in the form of a beta, that includes new features and functionality developed in collaboration with Hidden Path Entertainment.
These include new achievements, a new domination and revenge system, similar to that of Team Fortress 2 , player stats, engine upgrades from The Orange Box codebase, and more. On June 23, , Valve closed the beta and released the update to everybody who owns Counter-Strike: Source. The beta was re-opened later in , and Hidden Path Entertainment continues to release updates for it, some of which have been added to the retail version of Counter-Strike: Source.
It has since been shut down. Counter-Strike: Source is a remake of Counter-Strike , and consequently retains its team-based objective-oriented first-person shooter style gameplay. Counter-Strike: Source. Recent Reviews:. All Reviews:.

Storage space is no problem, just expensive internet. Also, does it take a lot of data to play online? Anyone got stats on data usage? And lastly, is there any chance the game will go on sale soon? Thank you so much for any help.
