Counter-Strike: Source will see its first BETA released in the coming months to Cybercafe partners and then to
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero owners. CS: Source's BETA release continues the Counter-Strike tradition of public BETA tests. The first Counter-Strike had nearly a year and a half of BETA releases that practically changed the game from month to month (
about Counter-Strike). CS 1.6 and Steam shared a nine month BETA session.
Valve's Doug Lombardi sent this to CS-Nation for release:
Starting later this summer, Valve will be conducting a limited-time beta of Counter-Strike: Source via Steam. The beta will first be open to subscribers of the Valve Cybercafé Program, and then extended to owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. The next installment of the world's number 1 online action game, Counter-Strike: Source blends CS' intense teamplay with the advanced technology of Valve's Source engine.
