Its been a while since the last HL update. This new update allows you to have a custom avatar/image when viewing the scoreboard.

If you are able to upload your own picture for avatar i can already imagine the crazy user-avatars we'll encounter.. Here's the list:

Bug Fixes
Removed the need to manually re-login and re-authenticate to Steam while in game
Fixed a crash on startup when running windowed with a non-standard desktop resolution
Removed the display of saytext (in-game chat text) from players whom you've blocked in Steam friends
Locked down several engine cvars to prevent malicious script exploits
Enforced file consistency on several sprites in Counter-Strike
Removed "ex_extrapmax" cvar (no longer needed)

Server
Added "-noaff" command-line option to disable setting of thread affinity
Added "bannedcfg" cvar so admins can choose which file is written to by the "writeid" command
