Teamplay in games like DOD will need to be much better aswell. If you throw a grenade into a pile of rubble for example, then it all gets scattered and could potentially take out a whole squad. It will make the game so much more tense and force you to evaluate where to move etc.. before just...
I think it comes down to the fact that source isn't designed to have everything fully destructible. If it was, then Valve has kept it pretty quiet. Seems like a feature they would have been trying to promote, and I don't think we've heard anything along those lines so far.
Plus, if the game...
I can't see every building being destructable, because that would require a beefy rig to run, something which Valve has been instisting isn't necessary. I think if you made a map you COULD have every wall, ceiling, floor etc.. destructible but as far as I'm aware everything in SP won't do this...
I'm looking forward to DOD Source, with destructible terrain to some extent. And watching your pals getting scattered 50 feet around you from a grenade. That will be classic

Did anyone notice the walking animations for the terrorists in the aztec clip? They really can work wonders with this technology. And the water splashing as bullets hit it, that just looks amazing. Imagine the confusion as you get ambushed from 4 different directions with water splashing...
After seeing the CS2/Source thingy, I got pretty excited, after all, if they have enough time to be getting on with that then the game must be near enough complete. Yey.
Has anyone seen the new Dawn of the Dead? There's a bloke in it that looks exactly like G Man, the girl's dad who gets bit and they can't bring themselves to shoot him, what's his name?
Whoever is speaking in the E3 video says the following:
"One of the big questions is : 'What about multiplayer?', So we decided to combine the most popular online action game with the power of the Half Life 2 engine"
Take from that what you will, but that sounds to me as if HL2 MP is CS...
Yeh you don't have media-silence then start releasing tons of stuff for no apparent reason. They are building up hype, I'm expecting a release announcement soon.
YEY
