Get beta anytime?

[Cyber$nake]

Hey I just wanted to get this straight: The beta preload time is August 5th. The play time is August 10th. Will we still be able to play the beta if we didnt pre-load it before the 10th? Im going on a trip and Im worried I wont be able to get into the beta.

They'll still let you load it if you get back after the beta period starts. Their just doing this so everyone is ready at the same time.

Can someone post the dates again?

When does the Preload for ATI HL2 cupons owners start?

When do the ATI HL2 cupon owners get to play it?

When does the CS:S Beta Testing End for the ATI HL2 Cupon owners end?

Aug 5th for everyone to pre-load, Aug 10th for everyone to play. That's what I've heard...

I wouldn't be that sure about the Aug 5th and 10th dates and get your hopes up.

Schedule release is August 13th.

If it turns out there is a couple key features the cafes really need in the first release we may delay a day or two.

OK...I will put in place a plan to send out a cafe message at least every other week.

CS:Source cafe beta plans are moving forward. As predicted above it will not happen this weekend. Our plan for cafes is 1) pre-load CS:Source a few days before the cafe release date and 2) give the cafes one full exclusive weekend + a few days. We will announce the release date for cafes when we are 100% confident it will happen. We are factoring in that cafes need 2-4 days planning for weekend parties.

that would totally stink because I have a lot of my birthday, the 10th, centered around CS:S. >:-(
