According to certain sources the CS:S update will be coming at 8pm tonight. Included are a load of improvements to game. The main improvement being the inclusion of improved Bots from the last game. Finally I will be able to play a semi-decent game on my LAN!

For CS:Source? Alyx and Dog? Cool.

Nah, I know what you mean. The Alex and Dog storyline were mentioned just after Hl2 was released as a possible expansion pack to tide people over until Hl3. Should be interesting, and hopefully will fill in a hell of a lot of the Combine storyline.

Anyone read that little snippet in this months PCGamer? It said that new maps and models are already in the works for CS:S.

Also of note, it said that there may be new single player levels added that take the perspective of other character, showing their story. Alyx and her robotic Dog where mentioned.

I actaully prefer the current two model terrorist / counter terrorist situation on source to be honest. I tried playing CS (pre coundition Zero?) and the stupid "ice terrorist / skinny terrorist" etc etc distracted me immensly from the game. I just didn't know who I was shooting at. On CS : Source at the moment, you can tell immediately by the stance and anim whether you should be blasting away or not. :)

I just read there's an all-new map coming next month as well, good stuff.

All we need now are a few player models/skins.

If it's the one I'm thinking, from the Xbox version, it's pretty good. They should release the Miami map though - that's a good close-quarters-ey one.

From what I've seen so far, it's pretty claustrophobic. Nice looking though.
