I was just in the beta playing when I just had a gut feeling...that and a lot of lag suddenly hit me. Voila! The beta test has been extended and opened to the public (that own a CZ cdkey or a HL2 cdkey)! This is good news because it brings new servers, better ones to play the beta on...it's also good because of all the people who will get to give feedback and truely make this game play out the way it should. My only beef is that so many new players or ignorant people will be trying this beta out (most professional players do not even play or have a CZ cdkey, so they will not be in on the beta, leaving mostly new players which are unexperienced and unaccostumed to the gameplay) will simply get turned off because it is very buggy and, well a beta. I think the tradeoff is good, though because I would just as soon not have a large supply of those people around for a while anyway, lol you know the kind...the trash talkers that make CS just feel right at home! Yeah...something like that. Either way, the updates to the map, de_dust, are sure to be good and well due! There's a couple bugs where you can jump on a window pane and get to the top of the map near the skybox, effectively called skywalking. While it's fun to explore, ultimately it ruins the game. What...of course I skywalked...what are you talking about? TCH It's my DUTY to thoroughly exploit and test this beta...shame on you and your accusations!...something like that
