Yeah. They could have kept only De_Dust too, I knew the map very well. ... ????

Yeah, like that's the same concept. Player skins don't change the gameplay of CS in any way, except by possibly creating confusion if opposing models look too similar. CS isn't a game like Q3A deathmatch where people can choose whatever kind of avatar they want (since everything's a target), or where distinct color overlays counteract the issue in team games. CS is about reflex action, knowing the map, choosing the right gun and using it in the right situations, knowing the spray characteristics, etc. But primarily being able to recognize that an enemy model is in your sight, then depressing the trigger while pointing at his or her head.
It's fucking ludicrous to compare multiple player model choices to map choices. Additional maps provide new gameplay situations, while having 4 player model choices per side (or whatever) might vaguely satisfy some players' dreams of being special forces operatives, but that's about it.

Yeah, that's the point. That's eye/hand coordination. You see, you just won't shoot on everything anymore. You'll need to "scan" the area, to make sure it isn't a teammate. That's the point really. Anyway, for me.
And it had a lot more variety too.

People are certainly getting really crazy about this!

Damn, looks like I have to save up between 100-140 dollars for that week. Now I just have to think which would be better a combination: MP2 + HL2 - Normal Edition or MP2 + HL2: Collectors Edition
lol

Fuck, I want it sooner. I already have HL2 and Halo 2 bought and paid for so I am set. I suppose the big question is when does HL1 source become available? It isn't tied to HL2... is it done? I doubt they would wait for HL2 to unlock HL1 Source. We know DOD:S isn't going to come until the very end of the year at the earliest...
"Preloading is complete. When the game is officially released, you'll be able to play it immediately"
Ohhhh YEAH. Did it always say that after you were done with the released preload packs though?
I guess that means HL2 comes in at 3.3 Gigs. 4.2 with CSS.

That's exactly what they're doing actually. It's stupid and makes no sense, but well that's Valve for you.

Nope. The %n bug, wireframe, see through walls, full bright cheats/fuck ups are all still in the game, Valve has done nothing. HL2 has been gold since friday, so maybe they will do something soon, and NOT all go on vacation for a couple weeks.
SOME kind of "we're working on it" or SOMETHING would be nice, but we haven't gotten shit from Valve since they released CSS.
