Comme promis, Valve Software a sorti la version Mac de Counter-Strike : Source sur Steam, permettant ainsi aux joueurs à la pomme de profiter du FPS multi le plus joué du monde. Pour fêter ça, le jeu est en promo à -66%. C'est aussi l'occasion pour le développeur d'intégrer dans le jeu de base via un gros patch les nouveautés qui étaient bêta testées depuis quelques semaines par les joueurs : 144 succès, des statistiques par joueurs en fin de round et sur internet, une killcam, de nouveaux écrans pour les scores, un système de dominations/revanches, des icônes pour les chat vocal et les dernières nouveautés du Source Engine.

La liste complète des changements se trouve dans la suite de la nouvelle.

Gameplay

* Made ladders easier to climb. Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle.
* Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.
* Fixed issue in which you weren’t given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order). Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as ‘*** in 1’ on console.
* There’s now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.
* If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.
* If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.

* If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.
* Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.
