right. Just because it allows you to play doesn't mean its 100% downloaded.

Ya, thankfully another worthwhile update to CS:S after a long while. I haven't played it really at all since HL2 came out, and then none after I beat HL2. Just too many damn cheaters turned me off playing online.

* Dropped weapon ammo isn't lost if the player has another weapon using that ammo

YAY!!!! i'm always T, and I always buy the mp5...lol...then deagle. so many instances where I forget to rebuy the ammo ahhaha.

anyways. they haven't fixed the disapearing nade bug.
It's a wierd bug where if you switch to your main weapon too quickly after throwing a nade, the nade disapears w/o being thrown. :(
