This is a money-making scheme for HL2's creators to cash in on those 15K uniqueids that are on CS at any given hour of the day and nothing more. No new content + no new gameplay + mod on new engine = $30? I don't think so. Even if TF2 is all new content, the fact will remain that instead of distributing it as a free mod, they will expect everyone else to pay even more for it - HL2 is currently shaping up to be the most commercially centric game ever with it's "amazing modability". So they are counting on HL's popularity to carry it. I hope they aren't making a mistake, here. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> You know you're wrong, right?

You only have to buy it if you're insane enough not to want HL2 as well. Then again, that's just hearsay and rumour. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> That's actually a major, major chunk of the CS community. A lot of them don't even play any other game besides CS. Many have never even heard of half-life despite playing on its engine. I know it sounds unreal, but its true. There are going to be quite a lot of people who don't want the full HL2 but would rather pay a few bucks for a prettier CS...

Regarding the issue of the budget priced HL2 mods - see it like this: Valve invested heavy sums into the games they are converting. As long as users of the 'basic' HL2 can still use them as normal mods, I'm perfectly happy with something like this.

When I mean realistic, I mean :
- No extra speed for carrying a knife - No extra bouncy grenades - Realistic damage - Bleeding - HE grenades shoot out shrapnel - Can watch the other person you shot at get ripped into bits by the AWP - Have better hostage models - Intuitive bomb defusal
Man that's a pretty big list....
But yeah, if it's still the same thing...why bother porting it to source when you could have it running on much more low-end specs that don't need to have uber-powerful videocards? <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Do you seriously think that Counter-Strike's main audience (which seems to be as of late: skateboarders, 'gangsta' mentality people, and high school dropouts) would play it if it had all that good stuff that actually would make it worth playing?

HE grenades don't have shrapnel. Frag nades do.
