Does this mean it's going to look better?

I couldn't care less about achievements. Personal glory the antithesis of a tactical game like Counterstrike where teamwork is essential.

I honestly don't know anything for sureyet, but it sounds like some nice additions. A little bit of CoD with the greatness of CS. I'd believe Source will be looking as good as it can look with the modern updates.

I love CS too much, still.
