I predict a lot of whining.

However, if they stick to CSS tradition (and I hope they will)

There will be one server cvar to turn all that shit off.

On the upshot, server's there. Just needs a config. Got a shitty one off some config generator.

2.12GB of CSS Beta Server downloaded in 10 minutes. God dam I love my server's 100MB connection.

Ahh, it's not too bad when you know what you're doing, I eventually got the hang of it to get my servers up and running.
Now need to get it working on linux next, for when I build my linux box

looks like Valve has balls this game as they have reopened the beta...

The above link no longer works so I'm not sure how to give anyone who wants it to have access to it...

I'm not sure, but I have access to it again, even though I removed the files once it got merged into retail cs:s, so it may just be people who signed up for the last one?

Don't bother. It's the same old shit-engined POS just with sequins stuck on the front to make it look pretty.
