Another Visit to Valve HQ!

[Axyon]

Forum member merc recently got the chance to visit Valve's Headquarters up in Seattle. While no new Half-Life 2 information was obtained, he did manage to extract a number of details about Counter-Strike: Source, and even got the chance to play it for a short time. Within the thread on our forums, he revealed how the game makes excellent use of its physics, how the graphics are on par with the quality of Half-Life 2's (bumpmapping effects, etc.) and how there's going to be support for both ground and air based vehicles, although they won't be included at the game's initial release.

Additionally, merc managed to take a new picture of Counter-Strike: Source. The quality isn't perfect, but it clearly shows the improvements to de_dust and the M4a1 rifle. Be sure to see it here.

If you want to read through the whole thread on our forums, you can view it here. Additionally, if you want to read from where the new media and information begins, start from here.

I though he said in the topic that air and ground vehicles would be included in a DoD:S update. I don't think they'll put that in CS:S though.

If there's support for DoD: Source, there'll be support for anything done in source. I didn't say that they'd be in the game from the start, but it looks like they can easily be added in by the community, or as a later update if so required.

No real new info it seems..most questons go unanswered. But thats my opinion

You forgot his companion, Attackr00t. Supposedly, he also saw a white board with the words, "To do collectors edition finish by moday". He deleted the picture, though.

Well, thats cool for him. He's now in the group, I'll have to remember to send his badge and teach him the secret handshake.

Its the cult-of-those-who-have-visited-valve, or the COTWHVV! pronounced Cot-wiv.
