So in an unexpected beta release, steam is showing off their sexy new user interface. It is a complete overhaul on Steams, somewhat lacking, UI.
A new version of Steam is available through a public opt-in beta, open to all Steam users. This Steam update provides several major upgrades to the platform’s core functionality. We’ve overhauled the Steam user interface to enhance the way you already buy and play games, adding more info about the things that matter — getting games, playing them with friends, and staying current in the gaming world.
To download and try out this new beta yourself, go to Settings in your steam menu and then selecting “2010 UI Update” under Beta Participation.
I have just started using this myself, and its very sexy. I think steam have been look into the Zune software’s UI.
On a side note, i wouldn’t mind that 19.4MB/s connection that Steam devs have. Maybe thats what every at IW thinks the community has to host MW2

Only a few days since the last update (1.0.175), a recent patch update has been released through Steam (which will auto-update when you restart Steam) is said to fix a number of pressing issues with the PC version of the game. Here is a complete list of what patch 1.0.177 is supposed to fix:
- Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized
- Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry
- Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s
- Improved player collision removing cases of getting into geometry and ‘elevators’
- Mouse latency tweaks for more mouse movement consistency
- Fixes to prevent various texture and XP hacks
Its a start, i for one am please that the 1887’s have been nerfed again. Everytime balanced is mentioned in this game i laugh to myself, thinking back to the bestBuy chat, but the 1887’s were one of the many things that did outright piss me off.
No word has been said on mod-tools as of yet, and i’m not sure the latest attempts of stopping texture hacks has had much affect within the hacking community, its just cat and mouse.
