Huh. Wow. Good news. Let the months of wild speculation begin!
(Though, frankly, I was hoping Alyx was killed in the blast -- guess Valve has a soft spot for her.)
Just read some of the details of the game on the site... sounds neat! Compelling and interesting: they've obviously given a lot of thought to it. I think a mod where you play as a metrocop would be killer (even though it sounds like he overcomes some of his programming). Hope it comes out soon.
WHY NOT MAKE YOUR GODDAMN OWN? OOOH WAIT, YOU CAN'T.
That wouldn't be any fun. I want other people to make them and let me play them for free. Duh.
idiot.
Yep!
Sigh. I feel like there's a million billion mods being developed and all they do is render some weapon models and then we never hear from them again. WILL SOMEONE STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE WEAPONS AND JUST FINISH AND RELEASE A MOD ALREADY?!?! I'M BORED HERE!!!
Man, it's only luck if I manage to catch a plasma ball. I think I've caught maybe three or four, and only managed to kill someone with the caught ball once.
Hey, it's something new (sort of) to play with, I'm all HL'd out, and I'm getting a little tired of deathmatch. Don't cost me nothin' extra, so i say: rah.
The SLAM is pretty neat. I think it'll be good in team deathmatch, because in regular deathmatch with a lot of players, it's a little too frantic to set effective traps. They definitely make a big boom.
Steamlab is a nice map, too. Great update!
I just tried out the bots on de_office and de_tides. I think they work really well. Sometimes they do some dumb things, and they tend to throw grenades in the same places every time, but overall, they're a good representation of actual players. And they don't call me gay or have political...
So, what is this exactly? I can play CS with a bunch of AI enemies running around? Do you play with a mix of some humans and some bots? How's it work, for the uninitiated?
