i was just surfing on csnation when i found the news for today and a post from cliffe himself that message read.

"Pre-loading of the Counter-Strike: Source beta to cyber cafés begins today. On Wednesday, this first phase of the beta will open and the game will be playable at all cyber cafes that subscribe to the Valve Cyber Café Program. Later this month, the beta will be extended to owners of Counter-Strike™: Condition Zero™ and ATI Fulfillment Coupon holders.

This beta serves as a compatibility test of the Source engine as we near the completion of development on Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source. During this limited-time beta, issues can be reported using the in-game bug-reporting tool. In addition any crashes will automatically generate a report back to Valve's bug database. We thank everyone for their participation, and we hope Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source live up to your expectations."

and there was also something else

"A couple people have emailed me asking about how many players the CS:S beta test will support. The answer is de_dust will support 20 vs 20, for a maxplayers of 40."

[Carnage_333]

hope theres plenty of 16 player servers.
20 vs 20 would suck
32 player servers r overfilled as they are, rounds take waaay too long, and i just cant be bothered waiting that long.

40 players! that would be crazy i know a 32 man server is nuts but 40! and who knows how many players with the full release!

Source engine can hold 256 players... Yes 256 no typo.

 

[Carnage_333]

yeah but unless ur makin a mod id say cs: source will only take 40.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Probably.

Plus no mods out there have the right gameplay for 128 vs 128... I mean a 128 man swat team? Get real...

 

[Carnage_333]

It could always be a 20-man SWAT team against a huge force of terrorists.
