It doesn't matter what engine they choose to run source on... the end result will always be the same -----> me dropping dueces on your faces

Well, it's official, there's a new beta. They had open signups, and it apparently filled up. Fuck!

Press release:

Available immediately, Valve has launched an extensive update to Counter-Strike: Source, now in beta.

The update includes a host of new features and functionality developed in collaboration with Hidden Path Studios. These include 144 new achievements, a new domination and revenge system, player stats, and more.

This beta will run for a limited time, and once complete, the update will be deployed to all Counter-Strike: Source owners for free via Steam.

Server admins may download the dedicated server files via the HLDSUpdateTool using "-game cssbeta" in the command line.

Here's the first video I've seen of ingame stuff pop up on youtube:

The new buy menu looks exactly the same as the one in CS:S currently to me, maybe I'm missing something.

Edit: New pics taken by someone on the steam forums:

Why does it look the same ? I thought it was going to have a new engine.

The only visible difference I've seen in the videos on youtube is the the lighting seems more dynamic. Flashlights are better, etc.

New engine != new look. All the assets are the same, they're just porting it to the Orange Box engine so it can run in OpenGL, on OSX.
