You're right.
If Valve can get this working well, I'll applaud them.
But all this comes down to for the end user is that I've got to pay more money. I can't try a multitude of mods as I could in HL1. I don't even have five bucks at the moment... so I'm really not sure if I support it or...
I don't see how that would work. Game companies have to license engines for hundreds of thousands of dollars to make games, if they don't code their own, and mod makers get to sell their mods for an almost free engine? Do other developers get access to the engine for like 50 bucks? I'd gladly...
Mods are free. I wouldn't buy mods. We've been getting them free for years. CS and DoD are still free for HL1.
And people can't sell their mod without being bought by Valve, unless they're going to license the source engine.
Ehh thats where it falls apart, even if it was possibly true (lol) Half Life was in development more than 6 years ago, which would mean that the real BMRF (lol) ripped off valve and did the exact thing.
I think he meant that if the DOD team don't get a lot done in time, not all of the maps etc will be source quality, and they'll have to update them in patches
You sure? They also said the person's words have to be typed into the editor and saved into the wav file before it goes to the engine... I didn't think that it could do it on the fly.
Tons of CS kiddies buy overkill-for-CS computers just so they can get their precious 99.9 fps leeting hax
Given HL2's relatively low requirements I doubt a lot will have trouble...
Okay good for you, that doesn't change that DoD is a good game and lots of people have fun playing it. DoD, CoD, and BF1942 are all different styles and some people like DoD's more.
DoD isn't terrible... it's very fun if you WANT to play a WW2 shooter.
But I agree with you about needing a HL2 themed multiplayer. It makes no sense to the average consumer to have the source mods as the multiplayer. "Okay, I buy this game set in the future.. and then get a WW2 multiplayer...
There are some more you see on another floor electrifying something when you're on the elevator... and the one talking to eli doesn't go away, he walks like 10 feet over to a machine... unless Eli thinks Gordon is blind or something, I don't think thats the case.
