Counter-Strike: Source

Changes to Half-Life-based CS slowed and eventually stopped with version 1.6, which is still popular in tournaments. But then came Half-Life 2 and the Source engine. At E3 in 2004, Gabe Newell revealed Counter-Strike: Source, and the future of CS was assured.

Notable Addition
Physics, shaders, more polygons
