That's my question too.... I was under the impression that this was the final release coming out today and not the beta...but no one's been clear about it.

I haven't tried to load this yet, but did anyone think that the reason everyone is having all this trouble is because there are 10 million other people trying to use the same thing at the same time?

The BETA release of Steam 2.0, which allows access to Counter-Strike 1.6 BETA, has been suspended. Due to some members of the gaming press leaking copies of Steam, the 500 megabit content servers have been filled to their capacity. To be fair, if Steam couldn't handle an unofficial release it probably wouldn't have done well with an official release either.

NO CS 1.6 TODAY!

Well, that stinks, really. Valve is claiming their 500Megabit network is flooded (by the ones who leaked it) by Steam. If Steam cannot handle a leak of this magnitude, imagine all the legit people who got it. I downloaded both the leak and the one released off steampowered.com. Hopefully, they will allow logins and new account creations tonight.

If not, maybe my original Steam login will work.
