looks sexy as usual

I'm reserving my judgement until I get my hands on this baby. If they can stick with the right formula, im sure this will be another great CS game.

Im sorry to say, this is the route that most games take, but if you look at what halo did with their weapons with Reach, you can start so see what really needs to be accomplished: more individual polygons, with textuing used to make the surfaces different, instead of the surfaces being made of textures. This is what I really want to fix in my maps later on, but for now, I'm afraid to because of the strain on source. But the menu looks great, and the more unusual of map glitches are going to be auto fixed, so that should be a plus. For more examples of what I mean, look at Portal 2 and Half Life 2: Episode 2. All I see right now is a map that looks like one from COD, and thats sad, because I have always liked how much more 'real' the source engine has been with its 'flat' look.

I agree, As much as the graphics themselves keep getting improvements, it really doesn't seem like map making tools themselves are seeing any huge leaps forward lately.
