Beta Late Than Never (Steam Linux Beta)

I don't even play video games anymore, but I played a hell of a lot of CS back in the day. Many years have passed, and I jumped on the Linux bandwagon about 3 years ago, and am now supposedly a productive member of society. But dammit, all I can think about now is plowing over AK-47 slinging bastards running through the top tunnel on de_dust with my pump shotty, or mowing people down with the UMP or headshots with the scout. I don't know, I loved the obscure weapons.

I would increase my consumption of video games from a non-zero amount if I could play CS on Linux.

Make it happen Valve. You got me, I'm now nostalgic.

Hah! CS was the shit until 1.6, when they completely crapped the physics and finally fixed the bug that'd allow you to switch instantly between your Desert Eagle and your AWP...

Oh... how I miss those nights wasted playing CS!

According to WineHQ that's already possible.

YMMV of course.

I wasted many hours of productive work time on running and playing CS on Linux via wine.

I nearly failed my damn GCSEs due to original CS. I was doodling map plans on the back of scrap paper in exams.

Good times.

Counter-Strike is such a game that will never go out of style, generations to come will look back on it as we now look to chess.
