HL2 SDK Speculation Thread

[babywax]

Well, there seems to be a lot of speculation on whether or not Valve will release the SDK with CS:S or wait a while and release before/after HL2 comes out.

I am of the oppinion (and optimistic one) that Valve will release atleast some of the SDK with CS:S. They have stated that CS:S is the only multiplayer that HL2 will have, so I think that they will hopefully get the SDK out ASAP. Maybe, just maybe, they will release the mp.dll/client.dll code so we can actually start making multiplayer mods.
In any event, am I the only person who has come to the conclusion that there will actually be an SDK for Counter-Strike?
I would like to hear what other people think will come of mods being made based on Counter-Strike code/models/textures/maps. I think it could lead to some interesting mods.

Just a few thoughts that I thought some other people might be interesting in.

Jess Cliffe already said its not coming with CS:S so I'm just gonna be safe and assume it'll come alongside HL2's release, or somewhere in between CS:S and HL2

I wonder if they will be releasing a CS:S SDK then, since apparently there is no HL2 DM?

I would assume the CS:S source would be released in the SDK since there is no other MP example code.

Maybe, it wont come with CS:S but the SDK will be released with mp coding when HL2 comes out.

Well how the heck do they know it works if its not in a fully-tested game?
