You heard right, Half-Life Fallout has gotten word that
Counter-Strike
ource in its entire, non-BETA form
will be released NEXT WEEK to those who purchase Half-Life 2 through Steam. In a (somewhat) surprising move, Steam subscribers will be able to purchase Half-Life 2 next week and can begin playing Counter-Strike Source immediately. Half-Life 2 and the other games will be available later on when Valve releases them. Keep in mind that in order to bask in the glory of the full, retail version of CS: Source so soon,
you must pre-order Half-Life 2 via Steam. Our good friends at Half-Life Fallout have more details in the form of this e-mail:
Gabe Newell
The Half-Life 2 offers have been finalized. Details are pasted below. The Steam offers will be available for purchase next week.
