Well, except for the fact that it is currently the most popular game, and arguably the most fun game. Personally, I don't like ut2k3 all that much. Sure, its a cool engine, but other than that, I think they failed. The DM DM/CTF isnt all that fun imho, and playing it over the internet is a serious hog... HL still has much better netcode than UT2k3, by a landslide imho. But thats beside the point. everyone is absolutely correct, in asking why the cpu usage has gone up, when we do not see any actual additions or improvements in the changelog. kev _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
