    I'm really looking forward to Half-Life 2.
    Not just because of the amazing images i've seen
    but "better mod support" is amazing plus for all us
    Half-life fans.
    I'm gonna reinstall the Hi-Definition pack and play it again <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I don't know whether to be more amazed at just how <b>WRONG</b> CNN got it, or the fact that nobody else here has even noticed. :P

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Valve bought the rights to Team Fortress for Quake 1. TF2 was originally supposed to be a free add-on for Half-Life. As many were disappointed that TF2 never came for Quake 2, many people bought Half-Life specifically for TF2. Then after HL came out and Valve announced TF2 was going to be a seperate product, many many people got very upset. So to appease the angry fans, TFC was born!
