Looks like a cunning ploy to sell more cs:cz.
/Looks at play.com
Well It is quite cheap

What's the "advanced technology of Valve?s Source engine"?

And what's CS:Source?

I should probably know but have no idea...

thought it was the HL2 source engine version.

I thought the add was translated to

"hey stupid guinea pigs that bought CZ through steam will probably make good beta testers for the source engine and cost us NOTHING

hoorah for "early adopters"

of which I am one , I should say (CZ owner)

The source engine is what half life 2 is going to run on.

CS:source is counter strike but converted to the source engine

It does say 'limited', I don't think you should expect to get in just because you have CZ, that would be a release rather than a test....

You correct . This is a limited Beta test for people who bought CZ and subscribers of the Valve Cyber. Can't see any info on how long the test will run for though

Looking at Steam. I would guess the total Beta Test Period will be about 4 hours.

No.

If this is based off the HL2 engine, it will hopefully give me some idea if it will run or not on my PC.

Better do as it's going to be the best gsame of the year probably and one I have been looking forward too.

post us the spec, and using my patented spec-ometer, I will be able to tell you the best frame rates to expect at any given resolution. Test me. Go on.
