You believe things you read on reddit. hahahaha

Is valve really this low on ideas to just repackage a game that doesn't really need anything?

Valve tends to get their ideas from buying up mod teams. They are kind of like a publishing company when you think about it, they just don't buy game studios normally with Turtle Rock being the exception because they wanted L4D.

I thought valve already owned the rights to CS since it became a mod you had to pay for.

They got the rights when they hired the CS mod team...

Valve decided they didn't like CS:S any more, so they handed it off to Hidden Path Entertainment to maintain. Ever since May of last year, all updates to CS:S have been done by HPE, and they are going to continue to update it even after CS:GO has been released.

some gameplay, can't wait to try the sawed off shotgun and the pp-19

I know this is an early test, and it looks really good for that, but there are some thing that I really don't like.

It looks like they fucked up how to weapons look
The animations look awkward
The grenade looks way too small
I like the classic 4 lines cross hairs better

That being said, here are some things that look promising

Molotov cocktail will be great to flush out a small room, like B tunnels on dust2
I like the new sleek graphics
5v5 ranked matchmaking
bots if there isn't enough people in the game

So far I really like how it looks, and I can't wait to try and get into the beta testing.

I think the weapons are supposed to look like CS 1.6, though the tracers and blood textures are all generic source placeholders for now. I like how the guy in the tunnel flies up in the air after being shot at 2:33, that's right out of 1.6 for sure

And the grenade actually looks like a grenade now

My guess is they are finishing gameplay first, then making models animations and other things to a higher standard. No point in spending a week optimizing a weapon that gets removed.

Looks like CS:S with new textures. Boring.

hopefully this is the case, the hand models and animations seem really shoddy

Looks like they made the models look slightly better, still could use some work though.
