Plantfortress is about to do an interview strictly about the multiplayer of HL2 with Gabe and Lombardi I believe..they are still accepting questions to ask so feel free to email them if you have any. I'm not sure when the interview is taking place but i do know its real soon (guessing less than 2 wks) so here is some of the stuff.

General
The porting of Half-Life Deathmatch has been mentioned, but is a form of Half-Life 2 Deathmatch planned?

Team Fortress Classic
Team Fortress Classic has its own specific physics that are tied to the gameplay with Rocket Jumping, Concussion Jumping, et cetera. Will the TFC port take advantage of Source physics in any way, or will the current physics be kept to maintain the current style of Team Fortress?
Dare I ask about Bunny-Hopping?
What other benefits will TFC get from being ported to the Source Engine?
Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress Classic Source, Team Fortress Source? Have you gotten a headache from trying to come up with a descriptive and efficient name?
Will TFC Source be available when Half-Life 2 Ships, or will it be released later?
Who will TFC Source be made available to (Current Half-Life 1 Customers, Half-Life 2 Customers, both)?
What maps are expected to make an appearance with the port?
 
when can we expect the interview to go live?
 
Great! Finally, no more stupid "MP theory" threads! :D

Hope there is a HL2 deathmatch! I know there is but ya' know. :)
 
Excite-o-mundo!! When where, why... need the info.. live forr the infoooo...

...ok Vegeta,

....

or should I say GABE!
 
Its ironic how we [the HL2 community] figure out all this before its old and redundant in the News section of this site... :cool:
 
Yeah, and valve can't just be like "no comment" to all of those questions. We are bound to hear something. Shit especially if TF2 is in the "finishing stage".
 
That's great, except that every interview this month has asked Valve about multiplayer, and they give a non-answer every time. If planetfortress can somehow weasel details out of them I'll be impressed, but I wouldn't expect anything more than "We can't comment on that at this time, but we can say that a lot of great, new, exciting features will be included..." over and over again.
 
err, are they guaranteed an interview? or are they just trying their luck....

because they can ask questions, doesnt mean Valve will answer them.. especially pertaining to MP... I mean its so close to release and then they ruin the surprise they have been fighting to keep?
doesnt make sense
 
Be optimistic, we will see.

Aren't we all happy about the June 14th release of Doom 3? I sure am.
 
June 14th? i thought they just said summer, or is this a retailer?
 
mmm im gonna guess most of the MP questions will not be answered, unless they were promised an interview about mp specifically....
 
Yea, since when did they say June 14th? That would be awesome, b/c DOOm3 would be one of those games that holds me off til HL2, plus it has owning gfx even thought theyre kinda plasticy.
 
i've just looked at the pc zone website. dont know if they r any good at release dates, but they have doom 3 for 30th june. would be nice if it comes out on june 14th tho.

www.pczone.co.uk
on the top bar goto data-> release dates
 
I hope that dosn't mean "they are going to ask"......... Like I hope they already have conformation from Valve that these questions will be answered.

It'd be very very dumb of them to just base an interview around questions that wont be answered.
 
Half-Life 2 Multiplayer will probably have deathmatch with lots of other fun things to. It'll be awesome though i cant wait therell be traps and stuff, realistic physics itll be awesome.
 
Yeah i know, and valve is most likely going to incorporate their own multiplayer. I just can't wait to hear about TF2. It's in the finishing stage but how long will it take for the release or to hear some news. Although i do remember in the leaked build of HL2 there were many TF2. files...anyone remember this or can clarify what some of those files meant? (ex. configs, application, maps, weapons, etc...)
 
Its not a nice discussion topic but there were alot of interesting things being played with that i picked up on in the thread (long since deleted)
 
From what you've posted, that is only a "Here's the questions we're going to ask" list, and it's doubtful they'll just give out that much information on a whim. VERY doubtful.
 
Doom 3 doesn't look very good IMO, looks like another far cry.

They also have stalker down for may 30th.. now theres a novelty.

Theres nothing more than summer for doom 3, Tom Hollenshead (spelling) said they didnt have a specific date just 2-3 days ago over on Homelan, he also said with half-life 2 and doom3 coming out soon its a great time to be a pc gamer, its always good to see the devs being friendly! and he is right.
 
Oooooo...S.T.A.L.K.E.R. will be released this Friday?! Yay!!! That will hold me off in time for Doom 3 and Half-Life 2!!! Yay! June is the month of glory for PC Gamers! HAHAH! Made only on PC!! How do you like that Halo 2 XBOXers?!? :hmph:

I wish STALKER would be out this soon, but we'll see. I can't find any other websites that have that date, and my local store (gamestop) has a date of 10/1/04, but I've been hearing that right now it's just set for a fall release date.
 
i remember the stalker team saying they probably wouldnt release it until next year. you can check that, it may be wrong.

There aiming to get the thing finished this year but they probbally wont see a release till the spring.
 
back to the topic. i'm curious. if the hl2 mp is just deathmatch why didn't they just say so. why must they be so hush-hush? i think it's gonna be pretty cool. i'm so thrilled. an unparalleled sp experience with hopefully a nifty new mp. wh00p.
 
I think now is about the time when Valve should tell us about HL2's MP. After all, it's a big selling point of games these days and you simply cannot expect people to buy your game without giving them knowledge of what the package contains. I'm excited about HL2 but I think its about time they told us what we're going to be playing over the net.
 
They couldn't worry less... the game is already too popular. Who(with a PC) isnot going to buy this game?
 
It'd be cool if they had an MP mode that is Combine vs Resistance with Vehicles in City 17, and objectives :D. So pretty much, Assault with Vehicles in City 17. That would rock
 
Obviously it hasn't been confirmed those questions WILL be answered if they are still taking suggestions for questions. Im guessing they are going to tell us more about team fortress and counter strike source. I think HL2 multiplayer will be a secret untill its in our hands.... or mabey when we click on multiplayer it will say "Sorry.... it was just to good to spoil.... mabey next year."
