CS 1.6 gets LAN Version (Official this time ;) )
 

Official News by www.cstrike.de :

(Srz, is in German and I'm to lazy to translate 9_9)

LAN-Version von Steam/CS kurz vor Testphase - jwm 12.02.2004 22.38
Was lange währt wird hoffentlich irgendwann gut. Alfred Reynolds kündigte auf der HLDS_LINUX-Mailingliste an, dass die LAN-Version bald in die Testphase geht und dann zügig released werden soll.
Diese Nachricht zusammen mit der News dass Bram Cohen von Valve angeheurt wurde läßt hoffen, dass auf die massive und andauernde Kritik der Community reagiert wird :)

Alfred Reynolds [alfred@valvesoftware.com]:
Offline play is in development, its about to go into testing. More details will be available when its released, but in short if you have a full cache (i.e its 100% loaded) then you will be able to play without an internet connection.

That's great! English would be better... and should be posted in offtopic forum!

Re: CS 1.6 gets LAN Version (Official this time ;) )
 

Ok, moved.

in basic english:

Alfred Reynolds anounced on the HLDS_LINUX list that final beta testing will be done on the offline CS version and it will be released "asap" [*g* what else to use for translation]. If you have a full Steam cache (100%) you will be able to play w/o being online.
Together with the news that Valve hired Bram Cohen makes us hope that Valve is reacting to the massive and enduring community brickbat [criticism].

Cheers memed

Aaaaahhhh, finally... well, it was about time, too!

You know, if you're on a bandwidth-limited flatrate, you just don't want to waste 50% of your bandwidth for something that'll be obsolete the following week... That's why I'm still using my trusty old 1.5. 9_9

Re: CS 1.6 gets LAN Version (Official this time ;) )
