People keep asking Valve will half life2 have team fortress2 with it....or counter strike....

first ide like to say, they wont answer your question and anyone who says they got a real answer back is a lier

second thing ide like to say is, has anyone ever thought that the multiplayer wont just be half life2 with vehicles....i mean, that could be one choice....but remember when team fortress came out (well i dont cause i wasnt playing half life yet) but anyways i beleive at the time it was totally new, ...and when natural selection came out...its like a totally new game too

you guys ever think that multiplayer could be a whole new game type, and maybe thats why its so special...

anyways if you think this post was dumb...spam me....itll give me something to do :dork:
 
valve has responded about TF2 questions, and no, i'm not a liar. They have officially stated that HL2 multiplayer is NOT TF2, and that TF2 is a completely separate product.
 
I think its gona be something unique also.

Valve said that HL2s multiplayer will include vehicles.
They also said that the engine was designed more of less around hl2s multiplayer aspect.
They have said it IS NOT TF2.
They said "No comment" on CS2


Those are the FACTS i know of.


I refuse to believe it is CS2. I think there must be something else. I hope there is anyway. :)
 
It is official knowledge that TF2 is a stand alone game.

When TFC and NS came out, they felt like a different game because technically, they were. Just new stuff built completely over the old.

HL2 multiplayer will remain a surprise until they tell us or we buy it. Chances are there will be Deathmatch, that is practically a given...
 
Problem is, what is unique? Consider what they have, and consider what can be done with it that isnt to stupid ("Tip the Strider" or "Hug the Ant Lion"). There isnt much unique left...

well i think their will be regular deathmatch.....and something else...

for example half life1 has deathmatch....and team fortress.....
 
Game modes that let people be combines, striders etc. That would be sweeet:p

Edit: And of course other new things (new, as not in hl1, or even better, as not seen before)
I'm really looking forward to play the multiplayer, I'm sure it's got loads of fun and entertainment! :)

Half Life didnt have TFC originally, the deathmatch had the lousiest netplay ever, along with crappy netcode. So it wouldnt be wise to compare them, I hope its not similar :p

I'm sure we will see deathmatch, regular CTF, multi CTF (aka BF1942 Conquest) and a few fun modes... What I want to see in a game is CTA (capture the area, seamless without flags) and more specific objectives... And of course FMCOOP (Full Multiplayer Coop, all 32 or 64 or whatever players fighing against the AI in objective missions)

No, Half Life had Deathmatch.

TFC came with the GAME OF THE YEAR ADDITION for added fun. It was not an official part of the game.

I'll remember to add it in my mod:

Blue Team: "Blue team, closing in"
Red Team: "Red team, we're nearby"
*Ground shakes as Strider walks around*
Blue Team: "We're engaging the Strider"
Red Team: "Copy that"
*Sounds of battle*
Blue Team: "MAN DOWN!!! MAN DOWN!!! Flank right, get around it!!!"
*More sounds of gunfire and crushed bones*
Red Team: "1337NoObz is hit, we need a medic!"
Blue Team: "Watch the foot!!!!! WATCH THE"
*SPLAT*
Red Team: "TIP IT OVER! TIP IT OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*3 soldiers find an opening and throw themself on a leg*
*Strider tips over, crashing into a building killing 20 innocent bystanders*

:)
 
Some of you should remember that it might actually be something very unoriginal such as basic deathmatch
 
I certainly HOPE its not CS2, hated CS, hate all CS clones, bah...

Gimme a shot gun, body armor, and 50 people to shoot at, and a flag to capture, and I'm happy. :)

Man that sucks, actually even the worst fps game has multiplay that is teamoriented, such as team deathmatch.

We should have a the mode "combine vs human". Combine has weapons such as gunship, strider, manhacks, turret, handguns etc etc Human will have antlions, cars, handguns etc etc. (we haven't seen most of weapons yet). But if hl2 mp is too good, then we will not need the mods as much as during the hl1 era. I doubt valve will do that to put down the mods community.
 
And do a crappy Mp instead? i doubt that. They won't make something that makes everybody go "wow!", because they want to sell a singelplayer game, and leve MP for mods. But they will for sure make something to shorten the time till the first mods come.
 
If it were simple DM I doubt they would hide it from us for so long.

Your mixing up Team Fortress with Team Fortress Classic.
 
They could give an attempt at "story teller" multiplay. Everyone joins a map, lets say downtown City 17, and the host places weapons in ceratin areas of the maps and a few vehicles, then chooses what enemies he would like spawned, lets say.. 4 Striders, 45 any lions, and 10 ant loin gaurds, and the players have to make their way alive from one end of the map to the other.

That sounds fun.

That is probably the most likely scenario.
 
Even if it is as simple as oldschool deathmatch, I'm all for it!
 
Well then, I look forward to tossing chairs and mattresses at you sir :)
 
i dont quite get how you'd be able to drive a strider.. I thought a strider was a creature?... and how do you know all the alliances?

Good idea! That sounds exciting! I like to RUN, everyone run to survive , run to avoid getting killed by those horrible strider gunship etc. How exciting is to run from something!!! Last year, a dog pursuit me (almost bite me) until I get on the bus, that was one of the most exciting experience i ever had. This should be one of the maps in the "Combine vs Human" mod.

Then the next map will be Combine who run.

How about a gauntlet? One side have to run to the other side of the map as fast as possible, the other side have to do all in their power to stop them. One could introduce limits, for example my morale system (see sig) would force everyone to stick together or they'll be easily killed, forcing the entire team to move as a single group (or groups).

Note to self: need to add cattle prodder weapon to speed up slow friends
 
I'll be happy with whatever it is...even deathmatch.
I doubt it'll be deathmatch though. Like others have said, Valve wouldn't keep it hush-hush if it was something so simple and unorigional.
 
I truely believe that valve is going to suprise all of us with its mp, the suprise will be that hl2 doesn't have any mp.

Lol, yeah, that WOULD be a surprise :)
But lets face it: They wouldnt get out alive from that Seattle gathering if it didnt have MP.
 
I think and hope that HL2's own MP part will be basic DM and TDM as in HL.
 
my guess is it'll be the same as HL1, only with more features (which we won't know until it's release) :p

Half-life DM was amazing, i had tons of fun and after 5 years it's the only mp game that i keep playing once in a while :D

Just the pure DM of half-life1 with added detail and manipulator guns and cars sounds apocalyptic to me :D
 
VALVe gave Cliffe some pre-release SDK versions and materials to work with... CS2 will be there, but prolly not from the start.

Reliable (Swedish) source.

ps. tell me if I'm wrong but don't flame my ass
 
I hope its not a regular crappy DM......and i hope even more its not CS2 or some game like it.....


DAMN!.......now im really wondering what the hell it could be :)
 
What if you could actually BE a strider. Now that would be cool.
 
I really really hope that the multiplayer is normal dm and tdm. Of course in Quake/UT/HL1 style, no SoF or CS waste.
 
oooh picking up a wooden pallet with a manipulator. Running past an enemy with the shield splintering and falling apart. Flinging it at him to confuse, diving behind cover, pick up a gun, come out and shoot him.


possibilities......
