I've beaten the single player mode twice now, on norm and hard. Now there's nothin to do...and I payed $50 to just sit here and look at the main screen? Cmon Valve...what are you thinking, wheres the multi-p at?
 
Counter-Strike: Source is the mp. This is why it's available with all versions of HL2. :)
 
Okay 1st of all...CS:S was in no way HL2's multiplayer...that's just rediculous. Second of all, I couldnt find any mods YET...hopefully some will be released in the near future, hopefully! And Third of all, screw you Ruefus.
 
Lack of simple DM and coop mode in HL2 is the biggest mistake of Valve, we got CSS yeah but it's totally different game!

Mods? yeah, we finished singleplayer and now all we have to wait for any mods so we could play in multiplayer, we didn't get even one player model, nothing that we could start with.

Many people will get bored of waiting and start playing other games, I will wait of course, I'm not playing anything else except HL2 now but giving us nothing is just... stupid.

1st, yes CS:S is HL2's multiplayer, obviously you are missing it since it comes with the game, I don't know how you don't get that one.

Second there isn't any mods yet because we don't have all the sdk, which makes sense, there's no mods.

Thirdly be nice.

Doubtfull many people will get bored so soon, this isn't crytek, we have half the sdk already, all we really need is a few more things and have it all. It has taken other companies SEVERAL months to put out an sdk, VALVe and id are still the quickest out of the bunch.

Yes, that was a good move. I'm already working on my first map for HL2, I'm only saying that this was a bad decision.
Many people would love to play in coop mode (with working models and not crashing after they die), all it needs is ONE player model and SP maps with few basic MP options...
 
Okay Disturbed, tell me how CS:S is THE multiplayer for HALF-LIFE 2?????

CS:S is an upgraded version of CS, in no way related to Half-Life (at least I don't think :p ). This game is much more intricate, I think. Anyways, I'm just trying to rabble rouse...it's fun! :cheers:


EDIT- Oh yeah...and I am nice, Ruefus was asking for it.
 
HL2 can be played in multi player:


Hidden HL2 Multiplayer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry if this is a re-post. Thanks to bonedog of www.gamegeneration.net for the info...

Below are legit instructions for playing the "hidden" HL2 multiplayer, possibly confirming the rumors that have been floating around recently.

______________________________ ________________________
Start Half Life 2. Once in Half Life 2 and game has finished loading, you are presented with the options. (New Game, Load Game, Friends, Options, etcetera). Press the tilde key to bring up the console. Or if you haven't activate the Developers Console, go activate the console in the keyboard menu.

Now what people FAIL TO MENTION. The game has already started when you clicked the HL2 icon on your desktop. This prevents MAXPLAYERS from being changed. Single player requires ONE player. Therefore MAXPLAYERS is stuck on 1.

In the console, you type "DISCONNECT" without quotes. This will disconnect you from HL2 SINGLE PLAYER. Now, you type these each. One after another.

Example: Type in net_start, then press enter, then enter the next line below.

net_start
sv_lan 0
deathmatch 1
maxplayers (whatever number you desire. I put 9)
Map (Mapname, go download the HL2 MP maps, I used hl2mp2.bsp) (after pressing enter on this one, you will be forced to wait about 3 seconds)
Restart

Gordon's hands will pop up as if you just got the Mark V Environment suit and now you can play! People can join!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to let others join your game, now that it's up and running.

Go here. http://www.whatismyip.com/

Now when your IP is given to you, take that and add :27015 to it and the word "CONNECT". Format is shown below.

CONNECT XX.XXX.XXX.XX:27015

Copy and past the above line with your IP filled in, and send it to people who want to join!

For them to join, they must go into console, "DISCONNECT", then type in the above line.

Enjoy

I'm not Disturbed but if you just ignore my name I can answer it.

It IS Half-life 2's multiplayer. It has been said so many times by both VALVe and a lot of people in this thread. It was shipped with every version of Half-life 2, does that not prove anything? It may have little to do with HL2 but why does it have to?

Edit - I hate Counter-Strike. It has made me slightly unhappy that VALVe neglected to make (or if there was something, ship it) something with the theme of Half-life 2 for multiplayer but I've accepted there is no Half-life 2 themed multiplayer.
 
HL2 doesnt have an MP, but CS:S comes free with it, so there IS mp included.
 
Many people don't want to kill counters/terrorists but want to use the engine possibilities, play the half-life 2 not another game with source engine.

As for the "hidden" multiplayer:

- no player models
- crashes often
- many SP don't even load

You can hardly call that a multiplayer.

You do realize that the original CS was coded using the original HL engine? (insert Minh Lee plug here) HL2 is coded with the Source engine. I'll give you ten guesses as to what the :S in CS:S stands for... :upstare:
 
Remember they are still working on TF2, so dont be too upset :P
 
OK for you who say that CS:S is HL2's mp. Look at the name...COUNTER STRIKE:SOURCE. How is COUNTER STRIKE:SOURCE HALF-LIFE 2's mp?!?! IT'S NOT THE SAME GAME. It did come with HL2 apon delivery, but it is NOT Half-Life 2's multiplayer game, you CANNOT say it is.
 
Well ozzie THERE ARE PLAYER MODELS. player.mdl in I belive the source models.gcf
That model is barley done and untextured but still a model.

It is multiplayer ozzie, you may hardly call it multiplayer but it is.

---For Cs:S
Tell me how do you define multiplayer? A multiplayer game that comes with a game? Please, tell me.

Tell that to Valve, they said it was.

Crytek did atleast implent mutliplayer.. and it only took them 2 pacthes and 3 months for the SDK release.
Also..cryteks sandbox editor is what HL2 needs.. talk about easy making maps.. i´ve made 3 VERY good an played maps for the FC community.

Oh silly me it didn't say CS:HL2 mp, shit VALVe better go back and redo it. VALVe has said SEVERAL, yes SEVERAL times CS:S is HL2's multiplayer, now deal with it, or you can move to another game. AG2 won't take too long to make so you can wait for that.

When did the game come out? Q1 04 and it took to Q3 or Q4 04 to release sandbox editior??? Bah crytek is the worst to the community, patch 1.2 may I say...yeah...
 
I know CSS was the MP component, but I really wish they had taken some time to add a Combine v. Resistance MP. It could be a simple DM and TDM setup. The maps could almost be ripped completely from the game, with a few minor adjustments. If only I knew how to code, texture and do all that cool stuff...

WoW is released on the 23rd, that's what I am playing next.

I loved the crap outta HL2, finished it twice on hard.. but that is it... I feel no compulsion to play through it yet again, and the multiplayer component (CS:S) is not my cup of tea.

now its the long wait for mods/expansion packs (which I REALLY hope they do) probably going to be about six months before we see anything substantial though.

Start up a team dude, sounds like an excellent idea! :cheers:
 
I'm kind of tierd of cs s...
I beat hl2 yesterday.
now i want to play hl2 online that would be rad
 
Disturbed I know CS:S is the multiplayer for HL2, you're not listening though. It's a different GAME, it is NOT HALFLIFE2. VALVE CANT SAY COUNTER-STRIKE SOURCE IS THE HALFLIFE2 MULTIPLAYER, it is rediculous.
 
i went on a halflife 2 MP server yesterday.. i cudnt move and it was 5 seconds laggy, and the people were grey figures that didnt move a muscle, jus hovered, ROFL!..
but all i can say is, at least its a START. Before long there will be HL2 MP, its gotta be , cos every1 wants it. even tho i love cs:S.. awesome game, hl2 MP will be even more cool! :D
