-- -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] HL2 is not multi-player. CS:Source is the only version of Source that is going to be Multi-player when HL2 is released. Yes, CS:S will be packed with HL2. So the posts say.

Or at least it is not ready for Mulitplayer Support and it is not ready in regards of a working Anti-Cheat support, I think this list already tells that story quite sufficiently! Who knows, they may only release the HL2 Single player first! If ID can get away with it with Doom then I'm sure Valve can with HL! ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Napier, Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Ooks Server ' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'[EMAIL PROTECTED] ' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [hlds] HL2 Preload has begun Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2004 00:45:40 -0400 You want me to apply logic to the actions of valve? (you so got the wrong guy!) hahaha ok... I keep hearing store dates of 11/4/04.. I have no idea how valid or invaild those are, just that the date's been in flux that that date was updated this week. As to why precache it so darn early.. My only guess is the plan is something along the lines of 1gig file this month.. and one gig file next month. + a few megabytes on release day. As to Vavle making it available online before it's available in the stores... I doubt it, if you were vevendi would you agree to that? I mean +\- a day or two maybe, but months? Not likely. ...who knows, I gave up trying to figure out valve last year. -----Original Message----- From: Ooks Server To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 8/27/2004 12:26 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] HL2 Preload has begun Is it 2 months away? Would they start to preload this far from the actual release? I'm wondering if it's 2 months before it shows up in retail stores, but maybe a lot sooner for those who preload/download. Well, Kudos to Valve for starting the preload this soon so we don't have a bazillion people trying to download a bazillion GB on HL2 day, thus stalling the entire Internet. I'm not complaining, mind you. Sooner or later I'll get my turn at the preload, and with 3 weeks of school left I have more important things to worry about :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Napier, Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Ooks Server '" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 8:59 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] HL2 Preload has begun > Yes it was nice to see the feedback of not autocaching was incorporated into > this..and lets hope future releases.
