New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player
Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures
New cinematic death camera
New domination and revenge system
Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display
Incorporated many source engine updates
Disallowed the use of arbitrary command strings for the message of the day screen. Now only a specific list of commands is allowed.
Addressed issue in which AWPs and Scouts sometimes did not make the zooming sound.
cvar mat_showlowresimage is now a cheat command.
Many development console commands which would crash the server removed.
Updated source engine addresses many issues:
Better flashlight effect
Better HDR behavior
Multicore rendering support
Added sv_disablefreezecam cvar to turn off the freezecam on a server.
Added sv_nonemesis cvar to turn off domination/revenge on a server.
Added sv_nomvp cvar to turn off MVP stars on a server.
Added sv_nostats cvar to turn off stats on a server.
Removed -tickrate command line option and defaulted tick rate to 66 rather than 33. This addressed a number of issues, including:
Tick rate affecting how fast doors open / close
Tick rate causing players hitting the ground to stutter
Tick rate affecting the firing mechanisms of certain guns

UI
Added the following cvars to allow players to customize their scoreboards.
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_red
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_green
cl_scoreboard_ct_color_blue
cl_scoreboard_t_color_red
cl_scoreboard_t_color_green
cl_scoreboard_t_color_blue
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_red
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_green
cl_scoreboard_dead_color_blue
Changed the screen that appears when the message of the day fails to load to display proper error text.
Made the CT silhouette for the auto-select option in the Choose a Class screen smaller and corrected its aspect ratio.
Addressed a problem that occasionally caused characters to be colored incorrectly on the Change a Class screen.

Gameplay
Made ladders easier to climb. Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle.
Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.
Fixed issue in which you weren’t given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order). Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as ‘*** in 1’ on console.
There’s now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.
If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.
If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.
If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.
If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.
Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.

I thought it was going to be crappy but when I played it today after the update, it was pretty cool.

The update is EPIC in my opinion!
I couldn't wait for it and finally its here!
In my opinion CS:S is not dead and its not going to die. They will eventually fix the remaining bugs.
Since the update all my fav. servers are 24/7 full... its hard to get on -.-

Nothing really has changed with game play, you just have more features. Think of Team Fortress 2 merged into CSS, you have a kill cam, achievements, same scoreboard list, and much more.

You forgot to mention the fact custom content is not available anymore, max tickrate is 66, you can't surf, there's no GG, minigames, jailbreak, etc.

I know for a fact that there's still gungame. I'm not sure about the rest, but they wouldn't make it so all custom content was disabled as that would deter a huge playerbase from the game.

Yes, custom games are possible but they have to update the script because CSS runs off a new engine now.

How is the game dead? I don't see how this is going to affect your game play.

Do as me, all the new things that by deffault we can se... OFF!

I added in my config.cfg file in cstrike/cfg

sv_nomvp "1"
sv_nonemesis "1"

Remember properties of the file -> Read-only

I'm not sure if this commands are for the server, I think it cause when I'm playing in a server, the MVP stats that appears at the end of the round still appearing.

I don't remember for what is the second cvar.

Also, you can disable the freeze-cam that focus on the player that have killed you while playing.

Options -> Multiplayer -> Advanced -> Disable freeze cam

Hope it helped a bit!
Sorry for my bad english (tipical) and Greetings from Spain! :D

If you play CS competitatively like me you'll know Source is dead. After CGS crashed and burned there has been /NO/ major tournaments for CSS. CSS died a /LONG/ time ago. But for the newbies who like to play gungame, I'm sure there are servers still. :P
