Half-Life 2 Q&A

[SAS]

Gamespy have quizzed Valve's Doug Lombardi on a range of questions from the gaming community regarding Half-Life 2.

Q. What's the latest status on Team Fortress 2?
Doug Lombardi: After we announced TF2 on the HL1 tech, we made the decision to move it to the Source engine. It is still in development and we will be announcing more on that title soon.

Feast your eyes on the full Q&A here on Gamespy.

Q. Are there any plans for a standalone Half-Life 2 multiplayer part, deathmatch, co-op, somewhere down the line?

Doug Lombardi: Nope.

FUCKING FUCK FUCKERS. Oh well, at least it'll be moddable. I guess I'll just have to live without multiplayer for a while. Fucking stupid shitty CS.

There is DoD as well... they been saying that there isn't a HL2 DM out of the box for a while now, and given that not many played the HL DM after the first few months you can hardly blame them for exculding it given they have CS and DoD.

Indeed, but frankly both those mods are boring. I enjoyed plain HL DM a lot more than either - I didn't play it, but then I hardly play online FPSs anyhow seeing as they're always so goddamn predictable.
If they actually bothered making cooperative, story-driven multiplayer games, I'd play them. But NOBODY does, anymore. Even Serious Sam cooperative mode was fun, and that wasn't exactly "story-driven".
