Good news (for me at least)

"Of course, the beta will also be available to eligible gamers (namely, those of you who bought Condition Zero or those with the appropriate ATI/Half-Life 2 bundle deal) via Steam later this month." Source: IGN.COM

I never bought CS:CZ but I did buy an ATI Radeon 9800XT a year ago bundled with HL2 so that means that I will also get to play CS:S soon... :cheese:

Sweet, do you know when the ATI HL 2 people will be able to play, like the exact date, so I can bug BellSouth to get my friggin DSL here now! Im assuming you cant play CS:S with 56k.....

 

[t3chn0r]

You might be able to play with a 56K connection but the download is going to be hell slow... no idea when but last night I just keyed in my new HL2 key in Steam and it was accepted so I guess is just a matter of time to start playing CS:S and HL2....

me too!
but 9600XT

How much are they? I've been looking around, trying to find the cheapest deal..cheapest I've seen is 106$

When I bought by 9600xt (Asus) in December it was like $200, now there like $110, but if you want the card just for the CSS beta just buy CS:CZ for cheaper.......

Yep same here. I'll be bathing in CSS goodness on the 18th.

I have CZ. I've had it since about 3 months after it came out. I've been checking the system specs req. for HL2. My GeForce 4 MX 420 64MB is good for it, but it won't run quite as great. So I want to be able to have a good time gaming, with the great graphics
