Thats a bit harsh DrunkPanda, some of you guys really need to pull back and get a grip sometimes, this is a game, and its dougs job to do the PR for it.
CROM, great avatar, and i like the "1 Lombardi" definition. From speaking with Doug, i imagine he'd think it was pretty funny too (in light of things past :)
HL2 is supposed to have very accurate hitboxes, at the end of the day, hitboxes are what everything uses, its just the shape of the boxes that makes the difference.
yes it can be speed run using loads of tricks and bug exploits in 45 mins 45secs, and its quite an entertaining watch.
But developing a game engine from scratch, that has taken 4 years, the rest of the time was developing content.
CS Source is an in house mod, for want of a better referral, its not something that would be submitted under the RC conditions.

1) It says available at the same time ( and there is that word *planned* again)
2) It says it will be included with (this does NOT mean on the CD as i originally presumed) it just means as someone else posted, it will be available to...
:/ hmm, can't find it now, (convenient i know) it was on my home comp somewhere, what i can find however, is the most recent interview, quoted on the front page of this site in fact, that CS source and hl2 are *planned* to be available *together*
