For those of you who didn't notice it yet, CS:CZ and ATI HL2 voucher owners can now start preloading Counter-Strike:Source Beta. All it takes is a restart of your Steam and you should get a nice pop-up box which helps you underway.
According to Valve, the BETA should be unlocked for play tomorrow (the 18th).
GotFrag have written a fine article about Counter-Strike:Source from a competitive point of view. Check it out here.

What you should have done was tricked Steam into giving you CZ for free. Then you would get the Source beta anyway. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I agree with the comments that say it doesnt feel like cs, it felt like a completley different game to me and i wasn't impressed. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The day before Valve starts preloading Half-Life 2 assets onto its Steam network, it appears the publisher may have made an embarrassing mistake. Several Web sites--most prominently HL2World.com--have reported that Valve accidentally released a file containing all of the dialogue from Half-Life 2 when it initially distributed the Counter-Strike: Source beta to cyber cafés last week.
According to reports, the dialogue is embedded in a .gcf file sent out along with the beta. Apparently, it was included for closed-captioning purposes and was overlooked because .gcf files aren’t meant to be opened. Obviously, it was not meant for public eyes and contains numerous spoilers about the game, including its (surprising) ending.
However, despite reports, the Half-Life 2 dialogue leak is officially unconfirmed. Valve did not respond to requests for comment as of press time and has not made any announcements regarding the alleged leak. However, some reports say the dialogue-laden .gcf has been identified and will not be included with the CS: Source beta data offered to CS: Condition Zero owners. "

Go home, use the key on comp, take the game back.
