Thems some ugly screenshots.

"Warning: If you're an idiot, your account will be stolen!" If this was Fark.com, this Steam news would get an "Obvious" tag.

Looks very Doom 3-ish, which isn't necessarily a bad thing! Here's hoping the gameplay is as good as the map design.

The screenshots look like something from Half-Life 1.

Valve specifically said they would not be releasing updates regarding VAC2. There's no point giving the cheaters a heads-up.

The monster looks like the shit demon from Dogma.

As far as I know, nobody has licensed the Unreal 3 engine since it's still being actively developed. Between Doom 3 and Source, however, I think Source has been licensed by more developers.

This would have been great if they had been released, say, before Half-Life 2. Now? They're novel, but seeing those environments in-game in full motion and real-time 3D is far more impressive.

VAC2 went live weeks ago. They've just stopped making announcements about it as they said they would (no point alerting the hackers that their fun is about to end).

Who wants to bet the release of the Lost Coast will coincide with the release of ATI's new graphics cards?

Looks fantastic! But why does it seem like everybody and his brother is making a multiplayer mod? How about some love for us single player afficionados?

I believe the red AUX bar is a symptom of early warez copies of Half-Life 2 (among other problems of varying significance, some of which made the game unplayable).

If anything, Vivendi paid Valve to make this thing go away. You don't end up as big a loser as Vivendi and walk away with a fat out-of-court settlement in your pocket. Basically, this settlement is VUG's way of saying, "We don't have a case and we know it." Trust me, Vivendi got the six-inch...

Heh...guess the naysayers aren't going to shut the hell up after all. :rolleyes:

Now maybe all the naysayers will finally shut the hell up about Half-Life 2 being a second rate graphics engine, because Valve just kicked the shit out of Doom 3!

Last time Valve mentioned VAC2 (about a month ago), they said that was the last they would say about it. They don't want to give anybody advanced warning when it's turned on, but you'll know when it's activated because the forums will be flooded with people bitching about being banned from...

Could it be? Is the time of mod teams releasing shitty "work in progress" maps behind us? Woo-hoo!

Yes, a couple of weeks ago, Valve announced that they would start implementing VAC and that that would be the last announcement. If you check your profile through Steam, you should see something like "VAC status: In Good Standing" or some such.

Everything I've read has led me to believe that it will be sold exclusively through Steam. Fine by me. I bought Half-Life 2 through Steam and haven't had a lick of trouble.
