Its only a portion of the book, the behind the scenes book is almost 400 pages whereas the sampler is 100. My guess is the sampler will contain a bit from the strategy guide, a bit from the behind the scenes book, and possibly a bit from the mod-makers guide (console commands maybe?)

Believe it or not, Valve hasn't officially released multiplayer details...

It would be interesting if they talked about why they didn't officially delay the game until the last minute and whatnot. Highly doubtful, but interesting nonetheless.

It means we know as much as you do concerning cs2. Concerning everything else... now that's a different story.

The biggest problem I see in terms of HL2's ragdolls is that once something's a ragdoll, it can't go back. You lose alot of realism when the bodies don't move at all after 'dying'. IRL, unless shot in the head, heart or blown up by a grenade, the body would eliminate any crazy looking ragdoll...

Since you seem to be the expert, what games are 'a few tiers above' hl2 in terms of physics? Gish? hahaha

for the moderators' sake, please do not reply to this message.

flame on! (thread going nowhere)

Well how the heck do they know it works if its not in a fully-tested game?

Hello folks, can you tell me if this is a worthwhile idea: (i.e. you would play it or help make it) - HL2 Challenge. The concept is simple, the player is presented with different scenarios, facing different sets of opponents from HL2. There is a time limit to pass, and players are scored on...

I would assume the CS:S source would be released in the SDK since there is no other MP example code.

I think it really depends on how dynamic the A.I. is, and how many different ways you can tackle a problem in HL2. Don't forget that we will be seeing the first of many SP maps a short while after the SDK comes out. Challenge maps if nothing else. Another way to add replayability in the...

My guess is no.

That would be hilarious if they actually did make HL2DM, found it much better than TF2, and shitcanned it so people would buy TF2.

They may not release it at all, only by modders.

Not anytime soon at least.

A bigger question is 'Do vehicles WORK in multiplayer?'

Because they want it now, dammit. This lawsuit could cost Valve every penny they made off Hl2 over steam, so VU could care less how many copies they sell, if they win the lawsuit they will earn all that money. They're basically doing what they did for cz, but before it was because cz...

My guess is that Vivendi will not release HL2 until it is most profitable for them. Take it in mind that Vivendi only makes money off store sales, so they're basically trying to get people to buy it for christmas. This means that they will release it as close to christmas as possible, with...

with an argument like that, you're bound to lose the 'debate'
