And see what you think, because although I like the new higher poly models
and characters it doesnt look too different to the original to me. And I think I am correct when I say this is the engine being used for Half-life 2, and if it is then i cant say I am overly impressed...that said I am about to watch the
second e3 trailer of HL2 so I will probably change my mind in two minutes anyway!

Those pics looks a bit suspect to me. If that is an "upgrade" it's hardly much of a leap.

I swear the HL2/CS-source vid that did the rounds made the game look way more polished than that.

There could be many reasons as to why you think those screenies look sub-par:

1) The machine that was used to take those pics may have sacrificed quality for frames per second.

2) It's a pretty dull level.

3) The source engine isn't that new anymore, it's all about Unreal 3 now (sadly ).

IMO, i think it still looks fantastic, and i can't wait to get my mits all over it.

It's bound to not look much different, it's the same game Other maps have been really tarted up and use the new effects better, those screenies tho look like they were grabbed from the videos that you can get from Fileshack atm. There are 3 on there all showing off dust, and you may have seen the blurry video of the redone aztec which looks rather swishy.

Just watched the new trailer (not sure how new it is) but it still doesnt look quite as good as Doom graphically but damn it looks like fun!! I want to play with the funny gun that picks shit up and throws stuff at people!

So, theyre bringing out a new Counterstrike? I havent played Steam/CS in about 4months, havent looked back too much since switching over to Diablo, but there is still a small bit of me which wouldnt mind going back to Counterstrike for a bit...
