If you have been somewhere else (a cave?) you would have otherwise known Counter-Strike: Source Beta has been in limited testing phase since the beginning of May, or about 2 months ago.

The update is schedule to go "public" perhaps some time today (June 23rd).. CS: Source will also be launched for the Mac OS. What does this mean for everyone? well, if you currently own Counter-Strike: Source you will get the new and improved version of CS: Source via Steam update. This is the biggest update that has happened to CSS since 2004!

144 New Achievements added
New lifetime player stats and summary screens
New match player stats and summary screens
New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player
Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures
New cinematic death camera
New domination and revenge system

There is a pretty good chance we can see this update later on today but don't get your hopes up too soon.. We do know that it's coming this week but most likely today!
