Nach unserer Zeitrechnung kurz nach Mitternacht ist es Valve dann heute erst gelungen, das für vorgestern versprochene Steam-Update zu veröffentlichen. Enthalten ist ein Update für Counter-Strike:Source. Mit dem Update kommt die lang erwartete und aus Counterstrike 1.6 bekannte Map de_nuke im völlig neuem Gewand einher. Nuke ist die erste Counter-Strike:Source-Map die mit High Dynamic Range (HDR) arbeitet. Werbung
HDR ist ja bereits aus dem ein Level umfassenden Half-Life 2:Lost Coast bekannt, in dem Valve ja eindruckvoll gezeigt hat welche Effekte mit HDR erzeugt werden können.
Hier ein Auszug aus dem Changelog:
