Hl2 delayed for dm?

Here's what a Vivendi rep said:
"Vivendi Universal Games is in the midst of determining whether Half-Life 2 meets the gameplay standard of the company and more importantly the devoted Half-Life fanbase."

Reading this makes me think... what If the release canidate is rejected because of the lack of hl2dm? While that's unlikely, it still could happen. What do you think they should do?

Jesus H Christ!

u guys will be the death of me. HL2 does have a frickin MP its CS:S. Also lots of games ship with no mp at all its not the publishers decision!!

 

[Dr0ndeh]

wouldnt happen.

 

[Yellonet]

I really don't think that would happen. But IF it did, Valve would just have to make a HLDM wouldn't they?

 

[KagePrototype]

It really won't happen. if Vivendi wanted a hl2dm, they would have told Valve ages ago, instead of letting them do CS:Source. And if they did tell them this, Valve wouldn't have sent an RC without dm.

A release candidate wouldn't be rejected because a lack of a feature. RCs are tested on a bug level, not a feature set level.

release it already
if waited long enough!

EDIT: i mean we waited long enough :|

pointless thread, just look at the "HL2 Multiplayer?" thread and look at the latest mail

Release the single player, and if there is a MP to be made, release that over steam at a later date.

Don't think they could afford any more delays at this time of the year ..

 

[Teta_Bonita]

Umm... this thread isn't meant to be taken serioulsy. I don't think they'd reject the rc just because it lacks dm. I dont even care. I just wan't to know if you guy's would rather have HL2 sooner withouth deathmatch or have it released later with deathmatch.

 

[Gunner]

The sooner the better is the general consensus here.

 

[f|uke]

DM will come either way.

And hopefully there will be enough of a community of quality mod-devs and players to keep it lively.

VUg'd better think twice before delaying the game now.

u know what the funny thing is? that CS:Source being the MP played right into the hands of Valve...i am surprised that VU hasn't made a big stink about HL2's MP being DM or something related to HL2... (or have they and we just haven't heard about it? :O )
