[QUOTE=NeoDement;21891515]Same.[/QUOTE] i think ill wait until after the update comes out so i can start grinding for achievements (bot killing does count towards achievements, right?).

[QUOTE=Ziron;21891595]i think ill wait until after the update comes out so i can start grinding for achievements (bot killing does count towards achievements, right?).[/QUOTE] Yeah, I got 4 achievements playing with bots.

FUUUCK i miss out! oh well.

[QUOTE=Azenin;21891723]Yeah, I got 4 achievements playing with bots.[/QUOTE] yesssss

[QUOTE=Ziron;21891595]i think ill wait until after the update comes out so i can start grinding for achievements (bot killing does count towards achievements, right?).[/QUOTE] why would you even bother

[QUOTE=NeoDement;21891788]why would you even bother[/QUOTE] im an achievement whore

[QUOTE=Meat;21887348]i dont frequently play CS:S but i had a go on the beta with the new mvp and such and it was quite pleasant. I failed terribly as always but it was fun, and the achievments arent bad. some are humorously named, and some are quite clever, like having your entire team in the same skin when a round starts.[/QUOTE] Thats how CS:S used to be for a long time. Everyone had the same skin.

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;21892452]1. steam://validate/260 [URL="steam://validate/260"]Step 1 link, otherwise it doesn't work (for me at least) [/URL][/QUOTE] Working for me. What's it doing when you click that?

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;21892530]When I click the link it validates the beta files. When I copy paste the link into my browser, it does nothing.[/QUOTE] Once you validate the beta files, the download for the GCF will start. You need to wait for it to download the files 100%. Then extract it.

so will new textures/models be added later?

[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;21892806]so will new textures/models be added later?[/QUOTE] Doubt it. I think this is it.

The Steam forum has proven to me that competitive gaming is cancerous.

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;21892832]You're dead wrong.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=MegaChalupa;21892818]The Steam forum has proven to me that competitive players are cancerous.[/QUOTE] Let me rephrase that. At least the CS:S type, are resistant to change, think that the entire game revolves around competitive play when in reality they are a minority, think that achievement sounds affect the core gameplay, judge potential changes without actually participating in the beta, dislike anything that might make the game more interesting or less stale, bitch about minor changes to the UI, and think that career statistics ruin the game.

[QUOTE=Maurice;21881238]Here the the ones it shows me in the Steam UI: Win 10 rounds Kill 25 enemies Inflict 2,500 total points of damage to enemy players earn $125,000 in cash dominate an enemy player Kill the entire opposing team without any members of your team dying Kill an opponent you are already dominating Seem like good achievements to me.[/QUOTE] Win 10 rounds - not an achievement Kill 25 enemies - not an achievement Inflict 2,500 total points of damage to enemy players - not an achievement earn $125,000 in cash - not an achievement dominate an enemy player - not an achievement Kill the entire opposing team without any members of your team dying Kill an opponent you are already dominating - not an achievement

I don't know why, but Steam says I've got [B]ONE HUNDRED FORTY FOUR LOCKED ACHIEVEMENTS[/B] .

If you did the method that bad tractor posted, its because it's showing your TF2 achievements.

No, I was fast enough to use one of free slots. [editline]07:33AM[/editline] Actually: [quote]Features new to the beta 144 achievements added[/quote] [editline]07:33AM[/editline] I just realized these are old news.

[QUOTE=Bad Tractor;21891150]If you want the beta, but don't have it, these are the steps to get it. Steps: 1. steam://validate/260 - and wait for Steam to fully download the GCF. 2. Use GCF Scape to extract the cstrike_beta folder to the SourceMods folder (located in the SteamApps folder) 3. In the cstrike_beta folder, open GameInfo.txt Replace: [CODE]SteamAppId 260[/CODE]with [code]SteamAppId 440[/code]You must have TF2. 4. Rename steam.inf to steam_.inf 5. Restart Steam 6. Right click the new game in your Steam menu, click properties, Set Launch Options, add in advanced secuirty options: [CODE]-insecure -secure[/CODE] 7. Enjoy Steps are similar for setting up a server. Just edit the gameinfo.txt file in the dedicated server. Achievements work, but are not uploaded to the Steam Cloud - stats are also recorded, but not uploaded. You can only play on servers that are setup like this. I'm sure there will be some setup.[/QUOTE] Whenever I do that I get this [img]http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1020/manafast.png[/img] Apon trying to boot it

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;21891108]The bots don't work in the beta. :([/QUOTE]Mine do :smug:
