With the release of Counter-Strike 1.3 drawing near, Synthetic has written up a Counter-Strike 1.3 Mini-Preview:When you press your transmit key, toggled by the +voicerecord command, a large icon appears above your head and is visible to your teammates. The icon is pretty much the same concept as the exclamation mark that appears over your head when you do a radio command. Along with the icon above your head, your name appears on the lower right-hand portion of your teammates' screen, letting them know who is talking. A much-needed change from the "who's who" game of Roger Wilco. The coolest aspect of the voice communication is the fact that the player's lips move in sync with what they're saying! This also goes for radio commands...""I must say I was quite impressed by VALVe's voice communication system, which is incorporated into HL 1.1.0.8. The sound quality is better and clearer than Roger Wilco, with less "lag" before your teammates hear what you say.
The preview comes in 3 separate sections; 'Voice Communication', 'The Weapons' and 'Bugs & Miscellaneous'. It also includes pictures and mpegs.

UPDATE: According to Cliffe (from the official CS team), the weapons information given in the preview is false. We’ve had reports that the preview’s site address has been altered, but we will not be changing this news post to reflect those changes. The information in it is in no way related to UKTerrorist.
