I certainly wasn't expecting this when I logged into Steam today, it appears that Valve has added a massive update to CS:S and honestly it is likely in preparation for CS:GO. Take a look at this laundry list of updates, were they needed or after nearly 7 years, should they of just left well enough alone?
Eight seminal games were released on the gaming market between October 26 and November 23, 2004. Twenty years later, here's Wccftech's retrospective.
You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.

Counter-Strike: Re-Source is basically a compilation of countless textures, models, skins, shaders and more that aims to greatly improve the visuals of this 2004 Counter-Strike game."
We know what most of you will say – it’s not! Some will say it’s trying too hard and some will say it is perfect.
I keep jumping back into this.
The sheer number of player numbers, decades after release of the original CS is astounding. Its always over half a million!
The gunplay is on another level.
I am a big fan of the gunplay in this as well - creating that fairly easy to pick up but very hard to master element I look for in games
If you love shooters like CS GO, you must look into Rainbow Six Siege, more intelligent, squad based and tactical, with every choice having consequences - its really an FPS Chess game..
@SolidStoner
Playing Siege makes me ask one question - if I'm going to play a game of this style, why not play the best one: Counter-Strike?
While it's a great option for console only people, if you are already a CS player, there's no reason to take a step down. The microtransaction-encouraging progression alone takes it down a notch (locking powerful characters behind extremely high credit requirements).
I just couldn't get into it. I've tried so many times but I just suck at FPS games haha.
That said I do enjoy watching it pros play it from time to time.
Somewhat disappointing. I couldn't care less about CS:S Valve, what you need to do is update Day of Defeat: Source and bring in the last two factions from the first game!
This is an awesome update. Makes my game better!
Looks like they made unused weapons like Famas and Galil worth-buying. Looks promising, I will definitely give them a try tonight!
good to see they are still keeping an eye out for the community. that's rare by today's standard of releasing a broken game putting out a couple of patches to get it in somewhat working condition and then dropping all support 1-2 months after release.
