i know some people wanted to know the situation with the sdk details, well here it is straight from the horses mouth. this is as factual as it gets as chris (autolycus) as some of you know is dealing directly with all the sdk information releases.

What is the maximum map size for Half-Life 2?

The maximum map size is currently set at +/-16384 (16x the lateral space of Half-Life 1, 64x overall space). It takes over five minutes to drive a vehicle the entire length of the map. You'll need a couple pee breaks if you plan on walking it!

lol

Great information for us all!

if he means going from (-16384,x,y) to (16384,x,y) then that car drives 10kph.

no problem, i asked chris for the sdk, i think maybe it prompted this faq. anyway all news is good news concerning the sdk as long as its official and not supposition.
