I used to think the Combine were simply human beings...but none of the mags mentioned what the combine actually are...they enver really speak about it....wich makes me think they're something special
1: They never said: Look people, CS:S is HL2's MP
2: Since when is HL2 a "Steam game" and there by obviously containing a netcode? Or what do you mean with
?
You're right, but letting everyone believe there is no MP, and then announce that there is actually an MP, would be the best marketing strategy ever seen in the gaming industry :)
As far as I know, Gabe talked several times about the existance of a MP mode in HL2. (Not CS:S) I found an old PCGameplay TV DVD wich contains an interview with Gabe, they ask him about the MP and he answers with: We are working on a HL2 MP, but I can't say anything yet, we will be giving more...
