Yes, we will also beta the HLDS:S when we start CS:S beta. You will be able to host a server.

Half-Life Dedicated Server

HLDS, CS:S gets me thinking about all these acronyms.

I suppose they'll end up making HL:CS:CZ:S

And do they make any multiplayer oriented games without the option of making dedicated servers anymore?

 

[Bicka]

They will be making CZ:source but hopefully they'll keep the acronyms short

And you download the 'dedicated server' through the games window of steam, before you can host a ded' game, so that why it was interesting to know.

You know what net code I loved? The Jedi Knight net code. No dedicated servers, and every player "shares" the lag. Not to mention no cheat protection. So cool. worst Idea ever.

Jedi Knight is awesome though. It's still modded to this day, 7 years after its release.

I agree. It was my favorite game for the longest time. And at the time it was a good idea for a netcode. Because of limiting connection speeds and what not.
