HL2 and Custom Models

[Gordon'sFreeman]

Ill make this short, when HL2 gets released and you install it with steam and everything, can you have custom models such as weapons players and other things over steam? or does it reject them and call you a cheat?

Thanks.

Its probably up to whoever is host.

For player models in mutliplayer the model has a different name so it accepts it. If you have a Gordon model with a differnt make up of its polygons etc, then that would probably be detected as a cheat for obvious reasons. Weapons would depend on which type it is, v_model, w_model etc. Having your own view model changed wouldnt allow you to cheat, so that probably would not be a problem. Remember that Valve said you can make your own models with the special XSI version. They know we will change somethings already.

default models most of the time suck.

Yes you can have custom models if you use Steam. You can actually have custom models now.
