appently they mentioned it just this last week..i know it sucks..the most fun i ever had was playing hl1 with all my friends on cross fire(which seriously needs to be ported to hl2).
the beta isnt even a beta its a build meaning they stole it and its not a officail beta. its missing story and plot('thank god') really all the maps are kinda incomplete and its not worth playing unless your just making maps or playing multiplayer(which also sucks becasue models are ****ed so...
What do you think this Steam planned downtime is for? its kinda odd but. maybe a big change in servers. or changes to the game, dunno.
what do you think.
get ready for test 3. since noone felt wrong with opening the last preload for hl2 im sure you guys wouldnt mind opening the new preload and gazing around. im only half way downloading it. so.well.
