Wow, that was a quick find.

Do you mash F5 on the Steam News page? j/k


Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: I'm actually excited about this "suprise".

 

[Thadius Dean]

i wonder if it is multiplayer

 

[UKchaos2]

Im guessing its an MP game which is open sourced to act as an example for SDK users.

 

[croperz]

RSS newsfeed is a wonder for these things

 

[danielw11]

DOD source prob

 

[UKchaos2]

dod:s isnt a surprise.

 

[skater4evr5]

dod:s isnt a surprise.

releasing it is. :bounce:

 

[UKchaos2]

no it isnt, its under "comming soon" in steam.

Im guessing its an MP game which is open sourced to act as an example for SDK users.

Also not really a surprise if that's the case:

The SDK will include multiplayer examples.

Well maybe a half-surprise, if it's a full game (Riccochet? ).

edit: BTW WhiteZero, I just happened to open Steam up at 5:02 PST, to get some Hammering done !

 

[Soulray]

Sorry about being a noob but whats SDK

 

[aeroripper]

Its probably a update on team fortress 2

 

[skater4evr5]

no it isnt, its under "comming soon" in steam.

"releasing it" THIS EARLY IS A SURPRISE DUDE !!!! DAMN :flame:

 

[Slainchild]

Sorry about being a noob but whats SDK

Software Development Kit.

Mod + mapping tools, basically.

 

[Soulray]

aaah i c. thnx.

 

[ShadowFox]

Come on TFC:S....

 

[ailevation]

:O Half Life 2 multiplayer!

 

[UKchaos2]

"releasing it" THIS EARLY IS A SURPRISE DUDE !!!! DAMN

Hardly. Remember its gonna be more like HL:S than CS:S. Same old textures and models.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

That would be sweet if its the big CS:S update.

 

[commando]

half life 2 multiplayer
counter strike:Source Bots all done

dam cant think of anymore...

additions i think they should do to the game is...

1) being able to kill your team mates/civilians (then they will attack you of course like in the first hl) WHY DID THEY GET RID OF THIS ARRGH it is realistic...

Also if you was to kill any of the MAIN characters they should just show a black screen saying "subject terminated" something like that. i mean if your buggy falls of the cliff then you fail the game! so i dont see why they should do the same. making it so u can kill the main characters but showing the black screen and failing.

but make it so u can kill the civilans but they will fight back. (sorry i like realism and i thought hl2 would of had the killing team mates.)

*I LOVE HL2*

also would be cool if they had in the options menu...
Disabling and Enabling "cl_ragdoll_collide 1". so u can tick or cross the box. dont like seeing bodies going through each other but i know why this is (to prevent fps dropping)

Cant wait to make my own single player levels. i love making levels.

 

[Thadius Dean]

give me gibs!!!
i miss those little chunks of lung or skull so much

 

[commando]

gibs is another thing i miss yea

but hey keeping bodies on the floor instead of DOOM3 excuse to get rid of dead bodies by desintergrating the bodies (*spelling*) is bad

 

[The Hulk]

I am as exicited, if not more excited than the next guy, but I think it is one of these four things:

1. CS:S extras/update;
2. MP Deathmatch;
3. ATI extra "levels" that I've heard rumors about;

Sorry, this one might be a spoiler for some:

Spoiler

4. More levels after the explosion/Gman sequence at the end; basically, a "real" ending of HL2.

I cannot wait! Happy Thanksgiving all who read this before the 25th (sorry, for us Yanks).

Hulk

 

[commando]

i loved hl2 ending great job valve!

 

[nutcrackr]

So does the stuttering patch fix the stutters?

 

[vgozzy]

So how do I get the patch? I just loaded up steam - no update. Loaded up HL2 - no update. How does one get the patch?

 

[ArKTisK]

there is no patch. well at least i cant find it

 

[Baal]

Yea...no update for me yet either. We shall see.

This surprise should be an interesting development. Lets hope they don't disappoint us..

Although I don't see how it could possibly be bad.

 

[^Ben]

Its an extremly small patch.

 

[SkylineGT-R34]

Man, I cant wait to see how you all going to be disappointed next week, ahahhaah.
Till then, get you hopes up for nothing

 

[gforce811]

the patch isn't out yet.

and yeah i wonder what the surprise is?!?!?! :-D

 

[SkylineGT-R34]

Not only that, the surprise is probably CS: S map de_prodigy.

 

[croperz]

I'm going to get my hopes up:
Please be TFC:S
Please be TFC:S
Please be TFC:S
Please be TFC:S

[Ghost Freeman]

The suprise is Half-Life 4.

 

[The Mullinator]

the patch isn't out yet.

and yeah i wonder what the surprise is?!?!?! :-D

The patch is out, it was just extremelly small. I just logged back onto Steam (I was on about 6 hours earlier) and I brought up the Steam monitor and it shows it had updated HL2.

 

[giant384]

[oldagerocker]

The Surprise is Codename Gordon 2... there was going to be a sequel/update remember? heard nothing of it since...

 

[giant384]
