It takes time to make models that are this good looking. It takes more time to animate their faces so that they can be made to lip-sink properly no matter what audio you input. You can't spend your entire development time making unique models just so that people don't say "hey i've seen that...
I think it boils down to the fact that you used to be able to put together a mod without a lot of skill and still have it turn out just as good (graphics as well as gameplay) as the original game (sometimes better) but now if a mod team wants to make content that stacks up with what people...
Yeah, it almost seemed like there should be a "better" ending, where you are able to

You should be able to install it on two computers as long as you use the same steam account. You're not allowed to play them both at the same time though. (though if one was in offline mode you could do it anyway)
I hope its either HL2 DM (or even better some team based combine vs. resistance multiplayer, but I think I'll be waiting for a mod on that one) or the begining of an episodic storyline covering the time between HL1 and HL2 (though it seems a bit soon for something of that nature). However, I'm...
