Simple enough, would you support a single player only release of Half-Life 2 (which would be released sometime between now and the end of Holidays 2003) and sacrifice multiplayer functionality, which would be made available at a later date.

 

[PvtRyan]

Hell yes! But both is OK too ^^

 

[crespo]

Heck yes I would! I play the game for the storyline anyway

 

[azz0r]

Hell Yus

 

[MrMethane]

Betcha!

 

[TinCyborg]

Of course! Even a short demo would be cool.

 

[Dedalus]

i'd rather wait for the version valve intended me to play.

 

[Netherscourge]

At this point, I'll take the damm Benchmark!

Of course we would take a Single Player Only release! - but they better drop the price to $39.99, because a 20 hour FPS game with no multiplayer hasn't got much replay value...

Team Fortress 2 would have to be an Expansion, or a free download.

 

[SpaNsK]

I prefer waiting for the complete version and acquiring the game complete. But what they could do is release a little single player demo whilst the game is completed. Just to let us taste it. It could take a little single player and a little multiplayer in case that multiplayer hasn't been finished yet.

They really should release game demos though they don't want to and I think they will not :/

 

[Netherscourge]

Well, I hope if they do release a single player demo - it's of Traptown!

I think Traptown will be the coolest level. Trying to find all the hidden traps to kill the mutants/aliens...

 

[Pjotr]

I votet no.

You should have clarified if I would get MultiPlayer included in my SP purchase or not. You should perhaps have had 3 alternatives, No, Yes and Yes, if MP is included without additional cost.

 

[MooCow]

The poll is also vague, it is obvious from context that he means a single player release before a full release. But existing information from valve point to the fact that they planed a SP only release concurrent with the full release anyway.

So the pole should read do you support:

A SP only release before a full release with no MP entitlement.
A SP only release before a full release with MP included when it's done.
A SP only release concurrent with a full release.
No SP only release at all.

 

[theGreenBunny]

Hell yeah! As long as MP is released as a free upgrade.

 

[@bel]

i don't even want to play MP really... just give me SP!

BUT: i don't think SP is done either?

 

[Typhon]

it wasn't that bad when q2 did it, so i don't see why they couldn't do it here, especially considering the circumstances.

 

[un0x]

No. I will only buy a complete game.

 

[Thadius Dean]

i wasnt planning to play much MP anyway. MP didnt work for me on HL or CS, im not getting my hopes up for HL2

 

[Killa|3yte]

A friggin one level demo would be nice.

 

[synth]

Yeah that would be fine. I'd like to play single player before MP anyway...

 

[Blair]

If it was under an agreement that people who bought it would get a discount when the "complete package" was finnished. Yes.

Otherwise, no.

 

[The Terminator]

I have to agree with Sn7, great minds think alike.

 

[Remedy]

I can wait for the real deal. I wouldn't want to have to upgrade or anything. It'll come out when it comes out. In the mean time I'll get like a month ahead of all my school work so when it does come out I won't fail my classes

 

[harhar]

I would love a demo if the game were to be released next year.. if not, then just try to release all at once.

 

[Letters]

Yes.

Singleplayer is a complete game you nuts. Then, after you've finished that, perhaps the multiplayer will be ready.

 

[NuTTeR]

I'm hyped on the single player story experience, I know that most FPS games get multiplayer either out of the box or at some time in the future, but I can wait for those.

I'll take my time savouring the feel of the SP game first, I don't understand people that rush out, buy the game only to complete it a day or two later.
