    The industry wants to ban mods!

    That'd be wrong. If a company creates a game and endorses mod making then why should the government have a say in such a thing? Its that company's property.

    will valve pull off a george lucas and....

    I can think of about 5 weapons they could use. Gauss gun, stun stick, slam, combine machine gun (hand held type that was on the airboat), etc... If the combine had rare weaponry, then it would make sense. That and prototypes. EDIT: Forgot the combine sniper rifle. ;D

    Tried about every setting possible, formatted my comp, closed everything in the background, etc... Tried all of the obvious stuff. Makes no difference.

    vsync disabled. Yes, the demo looks nice, but it really doesnt push your hardware that much. I get plenty of slowdown just playing css online or playing hl2. FPS between 30 and 70 usually.
