    Omg, it's... it's... it's... you.

    From what I've heard before, no, at least not right away. NS for HL1 has had years of work on it, and I would assume that converting the entire thing to HL2 would be quite the task.

    pls try not to be the millionth person asking this. switching to the hl2 engine would require a total redesign of the way ns works cause of the possible features involved. ie flame throwers, destroyable armor, ability for onos to ram through doors etc.. i could go on for a good long time. oh and it would probably be one of the last things they would do because the risk of losing the current playerbase is too great unless they're already losing the playerbase which i dont see happening in near future, at least not with combat releasing sometime in the next month or so.

    I'd be glad if they did too, but I don't think they've made decisions yet.

    And even if they did, it would take at least a year to finish it.

    Wow, it's smart_bomb....

    ... and I have nothing else to say. This topic is overdone. Frankly, no one knows despite that Flayra said no. If it's an easy straight port that takes a few hours, I don't think he'd hesitate. However, in that case it wouldn't feature many of the advantages of being on the HL2 engine. We'll see.

    This has been answered numerous times in many, many other threads since the official confirmation of HL2's existence. Please utilize the search function before posting a new thread, or it may meet the same fate as so many others in being
