Yeah, there is some severe hitbox lagging. I'm with the guys that think a person who pays for high spend internet should get his "true" ping and not some shitty compensation for people with 56K users. In it's current form, the gameplay can become quite frustrating...
If you spectate players...
For the love of god! Not another crude immature p0rn spray of a woman being f***ed by a dog.
GROW UP DAMNIT!
Can't you people be creative.... no.. just gotta go with the "classic" 2 men f***ing a watermelon spray...
Sorry.. had to vent..
Just do a search on the steampowered forum...
Funny you say that, I always find PLENTY of full servers.
I guess it depends on when you play.
Also, don't forget that the game hasn't reached stores yet. What does that mean? Well, to play, right now you need a credit card.
Normal people + credit card + internet = panic attack.
Now...
Can anyone do a before and after screenshots, and at the highest settings? Cause I'm running on all high (models and textures and all).
Thanks, that would be greatly appreciated. If you want to test it for overall fps value, use these commands in the console to record a demo.

"An objective review"
Think about what you just wrote.
Hint, there is no such things has obective reviews...
There is no such thing has an unbiased opinion.
The word subjective applies to both.
Here are the 3 ones I made so far.
They are just practice sprays. The beetle one was to understand how well the transparencies would work, and the 2 others were for dimension and weigh tests.
Turns out, you can make really high quality spreays if you spend more then 5 minutes.
Pros:
Good, simple level design.
Action paced.
Nice layout.
The new additons are good.
Cons:
-Played since the dawn of the world.
-Too simple level design makes it only worthy of 20 minute matches.
-Lacks the panache the source engine was made to dish out.
If terrorists camp, they...
Wow, way too general. Could even be unrelated.
Overheating:
-CPU
-Motherboard
-Videocard
Weak powersupply
Defective Memory
Defective Motherboard
General software crash
-Windows
-Steam
-Counter-Strike Source
Driver crash
and finally... killer rodents.
He is right about losing "performance", in the sense that you will be locked at your refresh rate (60, 72, 75, 85, 100. Usualy 60) and that if your computer cannot render the X FPS needed, it will be cut in halves, till it can render that half (if I remember correctly), like 60, then 30, then...
I had the Crash to desktop problem. Nothing would solve it (I tried EVERYTHING that was suggested).
I simply uninstalled steam, and re-downloaded it.
Works just fine now.

I get very good results (can play CS:S in 1280x1024, all high, 8x AF).
Have you tried un-installing your video card?
Have you updated your system drivers with the latest from the net...
Even with a 9800pro, I wouldn't suggest more then 4x AA.
If you are playing in higher resolution, 2x is usually the best performance / image quality ratio.
Also, try AF (ansiotropic filtering) it works wonders. For a 9800 pro, 8x should be good. I'm in a hurry so I can't explain what it...
BUT DOES IT WORK???
sorry.. going bonkers. well.. doesn't really matter, I need to go train then go sleep. I guess I'll try again tomorrow...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO00000000000000000000oooooooooooo.......
Good luck all. And please don't whine against valve or steam. I am sure they are...
