Re: CS Source is a crap
Sure teh game altogether doesn't have the best graphics but it does have some of the nicest "little" touches. Like throw a smoke nade under a light in office, you will see the light beams, or in dust how you can see the dust particles. Heck world interactivity altogether beats both Farcry and Doom 3 hands down.
BTW, Source can do everything all the current engines can, but valve isn't releasing a Tech Demo like ID. They are actually making a game that they have pride in (yeah many people bitch about HL2 but everyone knowns vavle is trying to make it as good as HL1).
