30% of my revenue is from Valve games. But the reality of this is that the majority of the sales of HL2 come from Single Player and right now they are working on the new episodic content. Its very apparent that those who handle any CSS game design (not content or server programming) are off doing other things.
Some of the elements that make CSS different are right to the core of Source and are just not going to change. It will require probably quite a bit of rearchitecture of the engine. On the subject of gameplay bugs, you might as well add shooting through walls. (I'm not just talking about normal wall shooting ala italy and office, but the problems with dust2 where you push your gun through the stone walls and can shoot as though there was not a wall.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Whisper Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 10:49 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve are you listening? -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] All Valve titles equals about 200 HLDS/SRCDS here.
