CSPromod has officially as of today entered its first closed beta. Beta testers consist of only a handful of people, and the group includes members of the development team, as well as several of North America's top Counter-Strike players; players who have each played at the highest levels in both CS 1.6 and CS:Source. Closed beta testers will remain anonymous so that they can spend their time on CSP without interruption.
The mod is fully playable, with all aspects of Counter-Strike having been hard coded. The closed beta will be used primarily for tweaking gun behavior, as well as to test for bugs on a general level. Several kinks in player animations will also need to be worked out. We have not set a date for our first open beta, so please don't bombard us with questions about that. Simply have confidence in the fact that, yes, the project is in a near-complete state, albeit an unpolished one. We will release news about an open beta when we are ready to.
An additional disclaimer: despite forum rumors, people who donate/have donated to CSP have no special privileges or early access to the closed beta. We want to make it very clear: at this time, we are not offering any access to the closed beta, period. Whether you're a player, a press representative, or a supporter, please do not ask for access to the closed beta at this time. It is not being given out. Media, including screen shots and video clips, will be released soon.
Thanks to everyone for their patience and dedication as we press forward towards our goal.
