Yeah.. I can see that. I mean, I will play CS:S, but it was never my favorite. None the less, I still feel it was the most logical decision considering the number of people that will actually play HL2DM vs. mods...

no one could have predicted how hl2dm made by valve could have been. with all the elements in SP, it could have turned out to be very successful, with the cool vehicles, weapons, locales, the combine versus resistance struggle. its a whole different ballpark of resoruces from what hl1 could offer.

the point is, just because hl1-dm wasn't as popular as other mods, doesn't mean hl2dm couldn't have been.
 
i agree to a level...somewhat, i mean 6 freakin years! you think they would have had plenty of time, but ohwell i was looking forward more to HL2 SP then anything else.
 
Only DM that maintained my interest were the CS DM mods. Ironic.

I didn't care much about DM or TDM, I just expected something special; meh, it depends on your definition of special.

The Mullinator: a good point, but it look at it from this perspective; would you rather the original HL had co-op, or that the Sven Co-op team had to add it? As much as I love SC, Valve would've done it better- it was their game, for the love of god. Same applies here to a limited degree, I guess.
 
I DON'T want hl2dm, infact I will be very disappointed if the MP was a silly DM.
I AM however dissappointed that the mp is just cs.

Gabe promised us some super cool MP .. I thought it was something totally new and special .. you know.

didn't valve deny that CSS is the HL2 MP?

Anyway, I like to believe that this guy just doesn't have a clue about the HL2 MP.
He's just a magazine guy, I expect that valve didn't tell him anything about the MP, and he concluded that CSS is the only MP.
 
Guys, some of you are not thinking straight. Valve is NOT stupid, they are NOT going to make it so CS:S is the only MP game coming with HL2. They know dang well a large chunk of the HL community hates CS. Besides, they said they had a suprise for us, and I seriously doubt they are going to tell a reviewer what the suprise is.

it doesn't make sense. because a cool MP mode could affect the score.

I could have sworn they denied it too, maybe it was just me
 
Dsty2001- we also know that Valve are releasing other Source-ported games when HL2 is finally released. The issue is, mostly, why there's no fresh-out-of-the-box HL2 themed MP portion; I still hope there will be HL2TMP, released as a free or retail expansion, but I doubt it.

...we have a real, live, stubborn "valve isn't stupid" type of person! YAY! lol
 
the surprise is ..... a new terrorist skin! and a new rifle with exactly the same properties as the m4a1! SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am seething with hatred for cs:s right now...
 
Alright I posted this in another thread but anyway:

Its like people have this weird conception that modders could never make something of the same quality as a Valve version of multiplayer. I can understand that argument for single player, no mod to date has really ever been made that could rival Valve in the single player department, however there have been many that are arguably better than Valve's own multiplayer for HL1.
Click to expand...

Another thing to add to this is that I can't really see how a standard DM mod could have a Valve "feel" to it except for maybe the official maps that could have come with it. The character models to be used in a standard DM which is what people seem to be missing the most are all found in the single player game and therefor will most likely be in the SDK. The guns, also in the SDK and most likely not needing any changes. The net code, well I suspect you could probably just make a cube map in hammer with a spawn point, start up a LAN game and there you have a basic map that can be played over multiplayer and will have the same movement speeds, jumping abilities and whatnot as the actual single player game.

Really the only thing that modders would have to do is create the maps, that will probably be the only real work.

The ONLY thing that makes me dissapointed with Valve is what Edcrab said, its their game. However I do believe that a mod team could easily equal Valve in quality when it comes to multiplayer, so I am not dissapointed with the lack of real multiplayer at all.

so it's not just me :stare:

Guys .. don't worry about an very unofficial statement from a guy who probably doesn't really know what the MP is.
I mean, put yourself in his shoes, he doesn't care much about the MP the same way we do. I mean, we're like all hyped and stuff, he is not.
He doesn't read HL2 forums everyday, he doesn't remember everything valve said.

He just answered from what he knows, he doesn't know any MP other than CS.

Wait until HL2 is in your hands to make a dumb thread like this, Valve still has something up their sleeve...

yes ...
 
well hl2 sp + CS:S as MP is a perfect plan for a package to release....for 1.5-2 years work, that would make sense. but 6 years? 6...years.
 
I can't stand CS:S

And I'm a big HLDM fan.

And incase you were wondering, people wanting HL2DM includes:

HLE community, AG community, Op4 community, and HLDM community itself.

It's quite large overall :)

I want the speed of HLDM back.. no other game has it. Op4 is better in my opinion, but hey.
 
IIRC, the first review of HL I ever read the reviewer was actually surprised that HL had DM, as if it was something they threw in at the last second and told no one. So I think HLDM was a spur of the moment kinda thing. But I could be wrong.
 
please dont act like your speaking for the entire community. I personally dont care, and im sure other people dont. So please, for future reference, please dont. kthxbye.
 
I'm kinda dissapointed. I don't really care for HLDM but It just seems it won't own as much but it still will! With HLDM-9.9% Without HLDM-9.8% :(
 
So you're telling me HL2 infact has NO MULTIPLAYER. CS is nothing to do with HL2, therefore HL2 has no multiplayer. Great.
 
Wow you people still think there is a HL2 MP after this interview with someone that is reviewing it, thats kinda wild....just let go people. :smoking: I dont care what was in the leak everything in that could have been changed for all we know that was then this is noW!
 
However I do believe that a mod team could easily equal Valve in quality when it comes to multiplayer, so I am not dissapointed with the lack of real multiplayer at all.

Well, I am, to a degree at least. But as said, that's entirely due to the fact that I've got the nagging suspicion that Valve are becoming a wee bit too dependant on the modding community; I also have every confidence that the "amateurs" will create great things.

No need for themed HL2 MP guys! The players'll do it themselves! Just concentrate on keeping the SP game awesome!
 
i was expecting hldm. Its a nice change from cs which i played to death, and i found myself playing it more and more.
 
good point ...

The leak had multiplayer. so the original must have it too, no?

thats how it seems.

you get done playing through SP, totally enthralled by the breathtaking environments in city17, the coast, ravenholm and others. you are on a high from shooting all the great weapons in the game and using the manipulator, seeing all the well done models move and talk in the game. BUT, then you beat it, and what is awaiting you?

a bland game based off real-life boring weapons in only one gamemode, a round based fight. yep you have been transported to an alternate reality in hl2's MP, a boring desert where nothing exciting happens. its like being sent to hell.

the leak had the ability for people to connect to each other. thats pretty much it. people added onto it and made it to be more than that though.
 
i just wonder what the cs:source surprises are
and i think VALVe has something up their sleeves
