Counter Strike 2 to be bundled with X800PRO/XT

[Feuerwizard]

ATI is quite about what is happening on the bundling front but we heard that there will be more than one way to play in this game. As we said earlier, here, ATI will bundle Counter Strike 2 with its X800PRO/XT cards. Its retail partners have to pay and make the decision whether they want it, and will pay for it. Counter Strike 2 will cost ATI partners $10, the normal practice is not to pay more than a few bucks. So you can expect to see some variety in ATI card partner marketing strategies.

The Half Life 2 deal will remain but it will cost you $10, just as much as it used to cost when it was bundled with the Radeon 9800XT and 9600XT.

I saw a CS2 vid clip and dam it looks sweet!
It was only a short clip from the map DE_Aztec with about 8 or so players. I look foreward to seeing HL2's release. We are going to spend a LOT of time playing games/mods after its finally released and i can't wait.

CS2 looks really great. It'll probably bring back a lot of the old players. I plan on giving it ago even though i havn't played CS in years.

I doubt you will like CS2 if you don't like the first one.. you wouldn't like a game you currently hate, just because it gets an upgrade to a better engine. CS2 is basically just that, it'll probably have more features added later, but at the moment its just normal CS on a different engine.
