Can't - haven't garnered the 50 USD to get the "Silver Package" for HL2 nor CS:CD. Wish I could though - I hear the graphics are amazing on that.

It plays well on average systems. 6800GT's easily get 90-100fps. Looks good and plays well. The hostages look very realistic.

Yep, got it with my free HL2 coupon.

Plays well on my AIW 9600 pro with all the settings cranked up.

If that's the HL2 engine, I'm disappointed with the character models. Nice interactivity, though.

Force Flow, are you able to crack up the AA and AF also? I have a 9600XT and it runs real sluggish when using any AA or AF in CS:Source.

Yep, AA and AF are on. I haven't seen any problems with it.

I LOVE cs:source, I was entirely bored and fedup with cs over a year ago, but this has just made me fall in love again.

if you are using a geforce 6800, you have to set AA to 4x, as it doesnt do 6 , only 4 and 8 >_>,took me a bit to figure out why everything was jaggy.

I ran the Video Stress Test in the CS:S package and got an 88FPS with my Radeon 9800XT. Graphics and sound are much improved over CS.
