I have played the beta, it is basically the same as CS 1.6 but with better graphics.

Ofcourse..thats the point.

How is the gameplay? same as 1.6 right..
The cool thing is though, that you can interact with almost anything in the whole game on the maps..now that is awesome..

I wouldnt say "everything" most of the objects on the map can't be destroyed or manipulated.

There is actually blood on the knife, everything looks so real...look at the palm trees...every thing is detailed as you can see from the screens, Theres blood splattered on the wall, you can see the actuall detailed bomb with full details EVEN WITH THE CHIPS...The barrells, the sky, the background...I dont think i need to go on, but I have to say, this is the best game out there right now, and if I was a CS fan (with a kick ass computer) I would buy it in a heartbeat. You actually have to try it and then you will be hooked on it and wont stop playing it for 5 weeks straight. Unless you die alot then you will get annoyed and stop..but then you will get the urge to go ahead and play again and then that is exactly what you will do..in about 2 hours since when you stopped

Man, the graphics are a step up. But this ain't no Half Life 2 CG work and interaction. If it was, that would be something to talk about.
