cs source update on cs nation (interview with jess cliffe)

I just read the article, and came here to post on it.

Good read, I cant wait to play it even more now, and Im glad that they took out the shield. Nice screens too, even though they arent big enough res to put as a good desktop.
 
Read it... the pic with the seals running around looks wierd.. they better fix those arms before CS:S gets released.
 
That last answer is a bit odd. Basically saying CS:Source is the only multiplayer game shipping with Half-Life 2. What about TFC Source, DoD Source etc?
 
lol, it's a bullet casing* from the glock.
 
Yeah I was confused first too then I realized it's a bullet casing hehe.
 
cliffe: Half-Life 2 will come with CS: Source. Right now, we do not plan to include any other multiplayer games with Half-Life 2.

Why do you feel screwed over? and please don't tell me it's because you're not getting DoD source.
 
Haha dude I thought it was a yellow fire extinguisher. OMG.
 
because I think that Valve have over estimated CS:S...where's the mind blowing Multiplayer that they were promising? a CS port is hardly mind blowing...

Although CS is properly the most popular online game at the moment....I think alot of people wanted and thought that we would see something new....IMO Valve is starting to milk the CS franchise a little too much...

with CS2 coming up the cs franchise is becoming too crowded for my taste(smells like EA's 01-02-03-04-titles) especially with CS:s as the only out of the box multiplayer for HL2....

also I think the aesthetics is ruined by having two completely different gameworlds mixed in one box...I'd much rather see some HL2 inspired/related multiplayer. all that great HL2 storyline, universe, characters and weaponry gone to waste...to me it detracts from the package as whole...
 
great read, and those screens, just jaw-dropping :) can't hardly wait for this now

That's not to say HL2 won't have it's own multiplayer component, just that no other stand alone multiplayer games will ship with HL2 other than CS: Source.

Hah, I knew it. I always thought that CS:S was going to be the main multiplayer, but I was even beginning to doubt myself when everyone seemed so sure they would do something else. I betting PC Gamer was right that this is the only multiplayer component of HL2 so far.

What Zips said!

There will be a MP other than CS. What Cliffe meant was that there won't be any other ports to the source engine with HL2's release.

I'll bet you ten bucks there is no other multiplayer component to HL2 other than CS:S. All along Valve has basically hinted at, and now basically spelled it out, that CS:S is all there is for now.

All they've "hinted at" is that there will be no other stand alone multiplayer and no other Source ports at the HL2 launch. Other than that they've not said anything else. Don't start rumors for nothing that's been stated as fact yet.

How am I starting a rumor? I'm saying I'll bet you that there is no other multiplayer. Based on what they've said that's my opinion. I just think everyone is grasping at straws trying to convince themselves that there will be something else besides CS:S. If I'm wrong than that's great. But I have a feeling that in a couple months I'll sadly be saying, "I told you so."

as far as I'm concerned "any other multiplayer games"(besides CS:s) also includes the so called "HL2-vanilla-multi"...and he said there would be no such thing shippign with HL2...
 
I just don't get why Valve always dodges the question of if Half-Life 2 has it's own seperate MP mode. Did I miss an interview where they said "Yes Half-Life 2 will have it's own multiplayer"? Cause if I did, well then ok.

Otherwise, why the hell would they not AT LEAST just say, "Yes, Half-Life 2 will have it's own multiplayer. That's the only details we will share at this time." It makes absolutely no sense to not at least say that it does indeed have it's own MP aspect. Why would they not admit that if they had it? It's not like saying that is going to give away some huge secret.
 
Probably because they want it to come as a surprise to those who buy the game? Companies don't always give out every little detail for their games.

yes they want it to be a big surprise for you when you fire up the game and find out that there is no Multiplayer...Valve is Evil like that :devil:

Are you serious? I'm not saying they should say WHAT the multiplayer is, just that they actually have it. Do you really think someone would hear about Half-Life 2 having multiplayer and say, "Aw man, I can't believe they spoiled that! I was hoping to be suprised as to whether or not arguably one of the biggest FPS in the last 5 years was going to have a multiplayer mode, sort of like every other fps out there!!"
 
I did another little Dust / DUST! comparison, cause i was bored :D see below
 
I wonder if they will have explosive barrels in CS Source...that would make gameplay a little more interesting :)

Heh, nice.

They are great screenshots to see. In the vids I have seen of CS:S the colours all looked very washed out. I was hoping that this was due to the screen/recording and apparently it was.

I was also hoping that DoD:S might have been part of the HL2CE pack, but it looks like I'll probably just have to buy it separately.

Yes, I am serious. Maybe there's something new and exciting for HL2 MP that Valve wants to be as a great surprise for the buyer.

Needless to say, nothing has been specifically stated saying that HL2 won't have its own MP, nor that CS: Source is the sole MP at launch. Right now it's just that CS: Source is the only confirmed MP game. I take that to mean "seperate games outside of the Half-Life 2 world" (DOD, CS, TFC, etc). I guess it's all in how you take what was said. I should just ask Cliffe or even Rizzuh for that matter.

Yes maybe, but what does that big suprise have to do with saying "yes" or "no" to the question "Does Half-Life 2 have multiplayer"? That makes no sense. Answering "yes, it does" spoils NOTHING. It's expected for FPS nowadays to have multiplayer so it's not like that gives away some big feature that was under wraps.
 
I hope I can make some things clear...:

They want to ship CS: S with HL2 (for free), but they DO NOT want to ship other 'games' (like DOD: S and TFC: S) with HL2.

HL2 has its own multiplayer, but the only game/mod you get extra is CS: S...

hope you guys understand ;)

You still got no proof for that. They stated nowhere that HL 2 will include its own MP. :dozey:
