The often-maligned younger brother of CS 1.6 and elder sibling of CS:GO, Counter-Strike: Source got a recent update which is a bit surprising considering that Valve is pushing GO rather aggressively.
Few changes were made; among them is the option to kick all clients except HLTV with the “kickall” command---a bit too late in my opinion as most majoir LAN tournaments have dropped Source from their lineup.
Full changelog below:
- Added a new command "kickall" which kicks all connected clients except for HLTV and the listenserver host if applicable
- Fixed a bug that allowed malicious servers to execute restricted console commands on players
- Fixed a bug that allowed malicious servers to prevent players from executing console commands
- Updated Steam binaries; fixes Linux crash on shutdown or restart
- Performance improvements
- Ye gods! Source has still more peak players than GO!
Now if only Valve was more aggressive and shut down support for all Source servers to force CS players to switch to CS:GO. It could happen, but it won’t.
