Was the Source Engine it was running on outdated or something? How old was it exactly?

Yes, they're putting the new CSS on the '07 source engine revision.

I think it was as old as the original source engine...but I'm not entirely sure.

 

[gov78]

it used to run on the Episode 1 engine but now its gunna be on the same 1 as left 4 dead 2 and team fortress 2 so probably see some regular updates on it (nothing spectacular like new weapons) just tweaks and stuff to make it play better.

 

[Wabsta]

damnit, beta is closed now

 

[Potticus]

Good I can definitely notice a different between my lfd2 and the css, the lfd2 seems to run smoother and I seem to shoot better on it.

 

[Law]

maybe a CSS Friday/Saturday to get some tempers playing it?
