Valve plans CS Source shake-up News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

13 August, 2006

Still not done sneaking around offices and dust-bowls tutting at people who don't run with the knife? Then Valve has some good news for you: it's nowhere near done with its support for Counter-Strike: Source.

In fact it's planning a series of updates, "focused on moving the core Counter-Strike gameplay forward", kicking off in about two weeks with an HDR-lit version of bomb-chasing favourite Train and a reworked radar system.

The new version of Train (pictured) will also include a few minor layout changes and bug-fixes, but it's the radar system which will have the most bearing on how Counter-Strike: Source plays out, apparently.

"One example," Valve offers, will have it so that, "when you look directly at an enemy for a long enough time for their name to appear on your screen, everyone on your team will be able to see that enemy in the radar."

Look for that in about a fortnight's time, with more updates to follow. We'll keep you abreast of them, natch.

Oh dear. Do they still have that stupid name over the enemy. Great for campers, sit and aim at a door, wait for enemy name to appear, shoot, another kill without even seeing the enemy.

Great game, but there just is no need for the enemies name to appear over their head. They should get rid of it, doing so would improve the game.
