Counter-Strike Source Update Protest [BLACK OUT]

The Counter-Strike Source Update plans to wipe out Counter-Strike as we know it
On May 11, 2010 a Beta of an update for CSS was released to a limited amout of players. The update note from Valve said the update will contain

144 achievements added

New lifetime player stats and summary screens

New match player stats and summary screens

New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player

Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures

New cinematic death camera

New domination and revenge system

Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display

Incorporated many source engine updates

This basically tells us its going to update it to be more like TF2. To protest this, on May 30th, 2010, A blackout will be launched, as in we need as many players as we can to NOT get on Counter-Strike Source, in an attempt to show Valve that we love CSS just the way that it is.

Join, Invite your friends, tell them to invite their friends, whatever it takes to get as many people as we can to participate in the Black Out.

DATE OF BLACKOUT CHANGED

13 May, 2010 - OhFXckAndy | 3 Comments

Due to me not thinking, im changing the date of the Blackout to May 30th. My reasons are:

June 1st is a Tuesday, A day where virtually everyone on CSS is either gonna be in school, Or at work, or doing something else.

May 30 is a Sunday, A day where there is NO work, NO school, and the only thing that would stop an individual from playing CSS would be church.

If you agree with the change, say so in a comment
