Source Update Tomorrow

This is great news from Valve. I can't wait for cs_compound and de_train. It's about some new official maps come out.

I'm also anxious to see what fixes they have for the bots. I've seen the bots seemingly join and drop over and over again for 5 minutes in a row. When they die they leave their weapons (pistols) which is mildy amusing. The down side is a lot of times it seems that causes the server to hang. Hopefully the "fixes" Valve releases tomorrow will fix this problem.

From Valve
"We're still on track for releasing an update to Counter-Strike: Source tomorrow.While we've been talking for a number of weeks about the new hostage rescue map we've been working on (cs_compound), Turtle Rock Studios has also been working on getting de_train converted over to Counter-Strike: Source. Along with cs_compound, we'll be including the new version of de_train in tomorrow's release.

Along with the two new maps, there are a number of fixes to the bots in Counter-Strike, an enhancement to the radar to display your current location in the map, and a fix for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch where players are disguising themselves as headcrabs, filing cabinets, and other invalid models."
