There's your update.
I was just laying outside and some asshole just fell on me and cut his lip and bled all over me.
They say everyone who pre-purchased should have the beta.
I don't have it :(
[quote]Client will defer .bsp file preload until after required resources are available. For the case of a missing map, this allows the client to reach signon state "new" and kick off downloader thread while retaining their spot on the server. This allows community servers to essentially run 3rd party maps that clients will download when played. [/quote]
yyyyyyyyyyyeEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS
[QUOTE=BobbyDigital;37235815]The reason they're doing this is business related. If they hold off on releasing the beta by a day or few hours nothing will come of it other than hype/a few angry people.
They trade that for a patch. Why a patch? If they release the game with the known bugs from this weekend then those same bugs/tweaks will be noted by Public Beta players. That will cause some people to say the game is bad/broken/laggy/whatever the issues are.
If they do that, it will hurt sales come the official release. The public will care if they hear the game has problems. The public won't care that we are waiting now.[/QUOTE]
Can you blame them though? Good marketing strategies =/= learning from mistakes as you make them.

Weird, some guy with blood on him loudly complaining about a little asshole kid just walked past my window, where I'm enjoying the CSGO Beta.
[QUOTE=rapmaster;37235684]Keep getting a little jump of excitement upon looking at my games list then realizing it is only the "Counter Strike Source Beta".
Fuck.[/QUOTE]
Wait what's the difference between whatever this is and the beta?
[QUOTE=Scot;37235930]Wait what's the difference between whatever this is and the beta?[/QUOTE]
It is a different game.
[QUOTE=rapmaster;37235957]It is a different game.[/QUOTE]
I'm so confused right now.
[QUOTE=kabookie;37235913]Can you blame them though? Good marketing strategies =/= learning from mistakes as you make them.[/QUOTE]
I know. I wasn't trying to demonize them for doing this. I was just simply trying to bring some sanity in here to balance the 'FUCK YOU GABE YOU FAT FUCKING MUNCHIN KING!!1!"
[QUOTE=Scot;37235975]I'm so confused right now.[/QUOTE]
The game I mentioned is the Counter Strike: Source beta, which is effectively "vanilla" Counter Strike: Source, as far as I am aware. And what we are waiting for is the Counter Strike: GO beta.
[QUOTE=Scot;37235975]I'm so confused right now.[/QUOTE]
He mistook the Counter Strike Source Beta for the Counter Strike Global Offensive Beta, due to their relatively similar names.

-snip- i'm dumb.

Ah okay, I thought it was a new game after GO.

[QUOTE]Living players can now hear the dead spectators in Casual game mode.
[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure how I feel about that. I guess if they can already spectate then come back as a bot it doesn't change much.
I'm so hyped up it's clouding my judgement. I know full well that when this goes live, it means I won't play for another few hours as I need to download it.
I think a lot of people are forgetting that fact as well =P

dunno why they didn't allow people to download it earlier so that there won't be a huge pile-up on poor steam's servers.
[QUOTE=Kamern;37236146]Not when you download at ~8MB/s[/QUOTE]
