I think it's HL2 DM. At which point, all the HL2 DM mods are going to whine.

Wheres "expansion pack" option? There has been a buzz lately that valve is going to put out a expansion pack for HL2.

Wheres "CSS expansion"? Its a given fact that valve is putting out 2 original cs maps plus 1 new map, and different player models, maybe they are putting it our early.

But hopefully it will be something HL2 related.

coop HL2

Also called Sven-Coop2

I have a feeling that's it. The Sven team has been talking about Sven2 for quite some time!

Sven Co-op is not affiliated with or partnered with Valve, no matter what they'd have you believe. This is the team that made a gargantuan 'press release' about a so-called 'partnership' after just getting the tidbit from Valve that they would continue to support -all- mods the same way they did with HL. Apparently the first version of the 'release' made it sound like Valve had bought them. Hooray arrogance and overconfidence!!! [addsig]

This is like a 19 page article but its really good... towards the end Gabe says they already have teams workin on expansion missions and such.

But I bet my life the "suprise" is definitely HLDM, I mean how can the all time king of online dm not release a dm mode in the follow up game....It would be utterly ridiculious

Well I hope its hl2 DM becuase that would make it easy to base a mod off of. Instead of going from nothing perhaps cs source would help. I sure do hope its hl2dm though. [addsig]

i went with option 3, extra modding resources, mainly due to this surprise being mentioned in the same sentence that states the full sdk will be released at the same time. i'm thinking along the lines of a barebones mp mod, or how to use the sdk to build one.

Fishy I might have to agree with you there. I doubt they would actualy make a hl2dm mode but hell......we dont know that.

Come on we all know its MPDM! Thats what everyone knows was missing out of the game and nowadays a game without MP is just crazy! Yes I know there was CSS but CS is CS in any engine! We want sweet maps that gives full potential to the new HL2 stuff. Heres hoping!

They're going to add upgrading options for hl2 owners and release the entire back catalog as well as all upcoming mods. They also got Vivendi to remove this rediculous cd rule.

In addition they're releasing a HLDM version with the Phys-Gun included and several amazing maps. They're also releasing OP4 source, Blue Shift Source, and replacing all the HD pack over steam.

The SDK will come with satellite access codes so you can have a laser scratch your ass any time you like.

I think it will be the CS:S update. They said they would release more maps in december. Hopefully I'm wrong, but hey at least the full sdk will be out.

But, if they already mentioned maps were coming in December that wouldn't very well be a surprise now would it?

I'm fairly sure they knew how pissed people would be if there was no HL2DM, I mean, how many months have they been going, "No, CS:S is the MP for HL2" ?

I hope you're wrong too [addsig]

That's why there's a 'something else' option.
