CS Source Ads Invade Korea

Reader Peter sends in these scans of Counter Strike Source ads that ran recently in a Seoul, Korea free daily paper. Peter also explained the country’s love affair with the game.

Here in Korea CS clones like ‘Special Force’ and ‘Sudden Attack’ are popular despite having sub-CS1 graphics. They are free and players can pay for ad ons. I guess CS Source here will operate in the same way.
I found the layout of the ad to be amusing. The history of CS comming out of the clouds, the slightly oxymoronic ‘2nd premiere’ and the sparse nature of the screenshot with only the pistol in screen.
Be interesting to see if a free CS Source becomes huge here in Korea.

I wonder how The Orange Box would do there? Hit the jump to see the bottom half of this full page ad.
