While it's hard to argue against Valve including Counter-Strike: Source with Half-Life 2, it would have been nice to have seen a multiplayer mode based on the single-player game that takes advantage of some of the single-player game's settings and weapons. The original Half-Life shipped with such a mode, and it was fun to play with some of those settings and weapons in a multiplayer arena. There are some genuinely interesting weapons in Half-Life 2's single-player mode, and it'd be fun to see what the gravity gun, for example, could do in a multiplayer setting, particularly with all the physics turned on. Still, Counter-Strike: Source is capable of providing countless hours of online play if you're a fan of team-based shooters, and it's a safe assumption that the game isn't going to cool off anytime soon.
I am seeing this in about all of the reviews, and I believe it is why Halo 2 looks better in thier eyes. GUESS WHAT, THERE IS A HL2DM NOW MORONS, WRITE THAT REVIEW OVER! Gamespot pisses me of in general, but they may have given it a 96 to beat halo 2 if they would have known about hl2dm. Another thing that pisses me off is in all the halo 2 commercials and clips used in spike tv VGA's.....they are all of that legendary battle on earth that was all so absent from the game, making halo 2 look like somthing it's not. It's just a rehash of the original, wth a 5 min segment on earth. how can anyone say halo 2 is a great game, nevermind BEAT hl2?
