I have been playing CS Source Beta for the past couple weeks... it is just like CS, but with the HL2 engine. To play the beta, you need to own CS: Condition Zero. Now, does anyone know if I will still need to purchase HL2 to play CS Source, or can I just doewnload a patch for the beta just like with the original CS?
Also, I downloaded a massive 1.7gig .zip file from file planet that has all the official HL2 videos. I had seen most of the videos in the bunch, but there are some GREAT clips showing a train station and an apartment building. I am beyond blown away with how this game looks!
Although the box set for the game should be pretty cool (I would want the box with the chick on the front!), I will probably buy the game over Steam.
