Even if Half-Life 2 ships with Vanilla Deathmatch (which it probably wont, considering the tight lid Valve is keeping on multiplayer), the game will still have mods. So I don't see how Half-Life 2 is in any sort of danger in regards to multiplayer.

Stop complaining about other people complaining about Half-Life 2's graphics.

As far as I know, there are a few various types of Assassins in Half-Life 2. The assassin robot, the female assassin, and perhaps the prowler creature. The prowler looks like it's an Assassin-class monster because it seems like it'll be very agile judging from the concept art...
