clarification on new HL2 information...

[dassbaba]

i'm not quite sure what all of these e3 announcements meant....

Are they porting over Half-Life 1 multiplayer to HL2?

Is there going to be a Multiplayer version off HL2, like Half-Life Deathmatch...
or in other words there going to be multiplayer half life, a thing where we can use the weapons from HL2 and all of that stuff....

I heard everyone saying "CS-2 is multiplayer HL2" or something like that...

HL1- DOD CS HLDM("valve" it's called on steam) TFC
HL2 - DOD updated, CS updated, HLDM updated, TFC2 ? no HL2 DM or whatever

yarrrr

/me is confused

Ok the only correct and true info is Half-Life and Counter-strike will be ported over to the Half-Life 2 Source. No valid info has been given on what multiplayer is. Yes there will be a multiplayer but thats all we know as of now.

All we know so far is that DoD, CS, DM, TFC, and HL1 will all be updated to Source at some point, and one or more of them will be available when HL2 is released. Doug Lombardi has suggested in interviews that some of this content may be included with the HL2 Collectors edition, but not with the other editions. Nothing else on these has been officially confirmed yet.

Also, TF2 is in 'final stages', and development will not begin on CS2 for a few months at least. Other than that, we know nothing about what multiplayer will be included with HL2.

intresting... valve has a habit of being ambiguous

heh, but it's not exactly a bad thing

I don't understand either (about something similiar):

If valve is selling different version of HL2, ie: SP or SP + MP, then how can their MP only consist of the ported HL1 mods, if they said they will port them after the release. If I buy SP + MP, I would expect to get that at the same time, and not have to wait to get MP which is really just a ported HL1 mod...

someone should email valve this thread and have them clarify

They already said the ports would be released at the same time as HL2

When and where did they say that? I only heard that it may or may not.

the mods will be available the same day

HL1 will not have the full Source engine treatment. Probably physics upgrades or something, but nothing as major as CSS.

The upgrades are 10 bucks US.. I'm pretty sure that's on a per-mod basis (maybe a updated mod pack.. idk)

HL2's MP mode is still a mystery... they just showed off something that source can do with multiplayer

You have mastered the art of making stuff up!

 

[Iced_Eagle]

No, im serious. read the interviews and information about all this. One of them talks about upgrading your current mod's for a price....

i dont make shit up
