CS: Source gets its own Militia News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

19 January, 2006

So like, remember that news item we did a little while ago about how Steam was going to have like an update and like that update was going to be for Counter-Strike: Source and that like it would have like cs_militia in it with High Dynamic Range lighting? Well it's happened now, and for some reason I've turned into my sister's friend Stacy.

Oh, I'm back now. Anyway, the update is available through Steam and also fixes a number of bugs. The number being six, and there being five other things which don't sound particularly like bugs. For example, "Hostages can open doors and step up onto ledges/stairs now." They couldn't do that before? No wonder everyone's a terrorist.

Anywho, the addition of Militia is good news for old-time CS fans like myself, because it's one of the outright classics - maybe not as perfectly poised as Dust or Assault can be, but incredibly popular, largely because of sniping and sneaking around the house searching for that last elusive terrorist, who's probably hiding in the dark of the garage muttering about how stupid you are into Roger Wilco or whatever the dickens people use these days.

Want it? Log into Steam and you should receive the update automatically.

Arg - I'm having a mental blank - which one was Militia? Was that the one in the desert, with the Terrorists starting in a big house/hostages in the kitchen & garage/CTs can sneak in to the garden via the sewers?

This article reminds me how fun was playing CS:Source back when I had an ADSL. I should give it a try on my 56K... and see how many times I could get headshot before quitting :D.

@ ave ...

Its to do with html tags, y'see. < is used to start a tag. For example to make things bold you'd type <b>this is text in bold</b> in the comment box and voila you'd get this is text in bold

if you open a tag but don't close it then the browser wont render anything after it cos its waiting for the end tag.

<i>this is text in italics</i> = this is text in italics
<a href="http://www.google.co.uk/">this is a link to google</a> = this is a link to google

Is HDRL only in the new map? or have they applied it on all the previous maps too?

wow. why do cs players insist on no change whatsoever, same maps for 10 years, it's like playing a game against a server full of 'rain man' people.

you try it, change the map to something out of the ordinary and they'll make strange noises and behave like infants in a supermarket.

Because CS players are like driving sim players, they have played and practiced so much that if you change one little corner by a few centimetres their little tricks and exploits get fucked up and they dont get those high scores that have been medicaly proven to increase your penis size. Or something along those lines.

It's only in the maps made after Nuke, so at the moment just Nuke and Militia include it.
