I guess that's why they released the SDK header files early for us so we could get to work on server mods right away, nah that wasn't supposed to help us at all. :rolleyes: "Also, I'm not happy with Alfreds response with the 32 slot business. I believe the PC version of TF2 is being held back just to stop the console version from looking so bad" Interesting theory. Consoles have one strong advantage over PC's. They are easy, you buy a game for a console, chances are you can run it and it will be playable. You don't need to worry about a lot of the little BS things, you can just play. PC, not so much. It requires someone with more of a clue. I have customers that want to buy a gaming computer and they have little 6-7 year old kids. I always tell them to get a console instead. It's cheaper and easier for people not so technically inclined. I'm assuming the player limit on the XBOX 360 is simply because all of the servers are ran as listen servers, not dedicated servers in a data center somewhere. If they had a dedicated server for XBOX players it would solve that problem and they could then take off the player limits on the XBOX. - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Barnett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 8:23 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] Valve's Lack of Announcements Be careful about the beta programme stuff.

When they release separate betas for EVERY update, then I'll be happy. Because then it's being done for the community and not just Valves interests.

I was playing CS when it was a beta mod for HL. And for years Valve has not communicated or cooperated with the community. How long did it take them to start a beta program after everyone started screaming for one?
