This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? Notes: Some of the stuff written in here is downright nonsensical.

Counter-Strike: Source is the remake of the original Counter-Strike for the Source Engine, as well as the first released game to use that engine, roughly 2 weeks before Half-Life 2 came out.

Unused Maps

test_speakers

A rather bizarre map for testing audio outputs. The audios played in this map dynamically change depending on what speaker configuration is being used. It could be initially loaded through the Audio tab in settings, although it was later removed for unknown reasons.

Loading the map unmodified will normally have ERROR models, as it still references the original playermodels from 2004, no longer included with the game.

Unused Map Content

cs_assault

Right below the map in CT Spawn, there is an inaccessible room, completely isolated from the rest of the map which contains a single boot prop. It is usually referred to as the boot room.

de_piranesi

Like the original version, there's an inaccesible room containing a brush-based giraffe.

Sound	Comment(s)
	Exactly like Team Fortress 2.

Regional Differences

This page or section needs more videos. There's a whole lotta words or pictures here, but not enough videos. Please fix this. Specifically: Record a demo, and playback on both games for comparison.

The USK 16 German version removes blood and plays a "surrender" animation when the player is killed.

To enable this in uncensored releases, enter the following commands in the in-game console (~):

violence_agibs 1
violence_ablood 1
violence_hgibs 1
violence_hblood 1

Oddity

Whenever a hostage is killed, their model will seemingly duplicate.

Revisional Differences

To do: No dates (or context for that matter) at all.

Main Menu

The main menu was changed in an update. Some of these changes include:

• The background was changed to depict two SEAL Team 6 soldiers in a brown background.
• The Friends menu was removed and a total of 147 achievements were added.
• The background could now be widescreen.
