HL2 originally stated there will be 3 different types of HL2 released. A normal version, which we are all used to, a Limited Edition version, probably with a steel case, some figurine, and other general fanboy goodies, and a cut-back single-player only version, which would contain no multiplayer component.
By this original statement, I'm hoping that all gameplay variations are chucked in with the normal version, but I did read somewhere that CS may cost extra. I'm just hoping the bigwigs at Valve read this and say to themselves "Bollocks, we did originally say that, didnt we? Damn, have to not charge for CS:S now". Either way, Valve are the winners, they're sitting on a huge cashcow in the form of HL2 and CS:S.
