This week it`s time again ! Because then, if nothing special happens, the new beta version of the Half-Life mod Counter-Strike will be released. This time there won`t be such big changes like in the update from beta 5.2 to beta 6, but some very useful things will be added once more

Cheats
Of course, one of the most important elements of new betas of CS: Which cheats were fixed?
In beta 7 Gooseman and his team removed the "silent AWP shots"-cheat, the "flashbang clearing"-cheat (which was fixed already in 6.6) and the "headshot"-script.
But nobody is able to prevent cheats 100%, because there will be alway "clever" people who have the knowledge to discover/develop new cheats. The only thing to do is to hope that they need more time then before, to play at least at the beginning without cheaters.

Maps and Gamemode
Also an important question: Which maps will be added, which maps will be updated, and which gamemode will be new?
Since now it`s known, that there will be four (probably five) new maps which will become "official" status. The new maps are:
an "as_" map which will be located in a penthouse
a map which will play in the middle-east
a map in which u can play at a trainstation
a map which includes an underwater factory
Unfortunately some old maps have to go. But the CS Team hasn`t decided yet, which map will have to go. In beta 7 there will be e.g. the reworked cs_estate included. To this map there are 4 big changes: you can switch on/off the light everywhere in the house, the sewerage system was modified so that also the hostages can go through it, smaller r_speeds, more detail and a new bedroom.

There won`t be a new gamemode, but if rumours are right, the escape gamemode will be out of the game. That would also answer the question which maps won`t be included anymore.

Misc
One of the good changes is, that the VIP will be equiped with an USP pistol. With this new feature the VIP won`t be a very easy target anymore and surely more people will play voluntary as a VIP.
Of course some models and skins were redone. Especially the new seal-model sticks out, which was really very beautiful skined
Also some weapon skins were redone.E.g. the knife was remodeled and looks now much more realistic.


Like in Action HL there will be also in CS the possibility to get the others with dual berretas. But you can`t buy the berretas solo, only as pairs.
The biggest change (as Gooseman said) will be the new included recoil which was added to the high-powered weapons (such as sniperrifles). There was also added a VGUI which should make the newbies their live easier. But theres also the possibility to buy the weapons in the classic-mode as before.

Result
When ? How long to wait anymore ?   As in every new beta Counter-Strike and its gameplay was improved. Let`s hope that this time there`s no bug, which was discoverd in the last seconds, and that this time there won`t be a chaos like at the last beta release, where many servers were overloaded. But announcements about more mirrors let us think the best you can only say: Gooseman, Cliffe & Co did again a very good job
