Cs Source Beta

[Javes]

I am a n00b here so i know, i know. Anyway, upon reading the news of beta testing of cs:s beeing extended to players of Cs : cz i began to think of some questions for some clever people such as urselves . Does this mean the beta testing is for ALL players of Cs : CZ?

Secondly, I am a player of Cs and i heard if you bought the original (as i have) you could download the online only part of Cs : cz. Is this true?

Thanks.

CS:CZ users were the first ones to be offered a the Beta of CS:Source, and just recently people who bought an ATI card bundled with HL2 have also been granted the beta.

No idea about CS:CZ online being for CS users. Highly doubt it though, because it never appeared in my Steam list till I bought it.

It looks to be everyone with cs:cz will get to play yes.

And no, you don't get cs:cz's multiplayer from having ordinary cs. They're one and the same anyways...

So if i buy cs cz now in a shop, and i already bought an ati card (ggrrr) will i get offered beta cs source??

So pretty much the whole CS community is gonna be playing the beta......?

No, the people who play CS but don't own CZ won't.

No, the people who play CS but don't own CZ won't.

Ya but there are people like me (or im just wierd).....I bought CZ and I still play my CS 1.6.....

I knew there was a reason I bought Cz (CS:source beta)

From what I understand it works like this
If you have a HL2 Voucher from when you brought an ATI Card: You get into CS:S beta.
If you have CZ: You get into beta.
IF you have both: ...you get into beta twice?

You dont get into beta if you only have regular CS(Downloaded or brought off shelf)

Err thanks for ignoring what i asked, If i buy tomorrow do i get in?? And is there any date u have to get it all running by??

 

[Alix Mcdean]

IF you buy CZ now in stores then YES you get into beta.
If you bought an ATI Card and it included a HL2 Voucher then YES you get into beta.

Sorry about that

 

[Javes]

and what about date restrictions??

 

[Alix Mcdean]

From what I understand there isnt going to be a real restriction untill the beta fully ends (Which from the looks of it is 2 weeks after beta starts. The 10th.)
So I think you could even go out and buy CZ(or buy and ATI Card with a voucher in it) even while beta is going and be accepted in.
But noone here I think really knows for sure untill Valve gives us more info.
