HomeLan' Half-Life And Counter-Strike Features Article is online, offering first-hand impressions from playing with a press preview of the upcoming Half-Life 1.1.0.8 patch and Counter-Strike version 1.3. The article has thoughts on the two major new features included in the new version(s), which are the integrated voice communication (which they say adds a whole new dimension to gameplay), and the new spectator mode, as well as impressions of other things, like the new multiplayer scoreboard. Also included are six new screenshots. On a related note, the Counter-Strike version 1.3 changelog has been posted on The official Counter-Strike web site, which also reveals you can "Expect to see 1.3 in early September (around the first week).
