Just a thought here... Take a (very) badly optimised dedicated server for HL and CS 1.5 (or 1.6) on one hand. The kind of server that get your big P4 and Athlon feel like Intel 8086. On the other hand, take a HL2 dedicated server that runs smoothly, that uses low CPU (after all, why not ?)... Ain't this the kind of thing that would help gamers to switch away from CS1.x to CS2 (I mean buy the new game) because the hardmins and game servers renting company are smashing prices on the new servers (that do no need so much horse power) ? This thought is just a thought. I have no clue (at all) how HL2 dedicated server runs. But when I see how had the last beta are running, I say myself "HL2 could run nicely".
