HL2 & Integrated MP

[ferdelancebz]

I've read a few threads and there seems to be some confusion: Half-life 2 has multiplayer. Half-life 2 has no multiplayer. CS:S is Half-Life 2's mutliplayer. CS:S is not...etc etc etc. I don't know what is fiction and what is truth.
(Although I do know CS/CS:S isn't HL2's mp: it's a total-conversion and thus is an entirely new game)

Now, whether or not Half-life 2 has it's own internal multiplayer component, who really cares? Source can be edited and modified so heavily and easily that anybody with half a brain can create their own multiplayer games. Seriously, just leave it up to the creative fans and the great mod teams(DoD, NS, etc) to create something fun for us!

I'm just worried about whether there will be any MP code that the teams can mod...

...you said so yourself anyone with half a brain can create their own multiplayer games....

Please don't start this up again. There will be a KICK ASS hl2 themed multiplayer. Some talented people will create one. I've already heard some very creative ideas here. Like the city wars one. The never ending war between numbered cities with Combine vs Resistance.

I fear it's going to take many, many months to get anything worth while playing though... :\

unfortunately, all you hear in here are ideas from people that know nothing of making a mod. anybody can come up with ideas.

True, but there are a few of us who have the knowledge to make something, just lack a team. (I'm an animator/2d artist, and have extensive use of Hammer..my resume? ...)



Anyways, coming up with ideas isn't necessarily (sp?) an easy thing...nothing original anymore..
