kinda like some cars have teh V-Tech engine....but they dont call it the honda engine.
besides, speculating what the NS dev team has in mind is like speculating what your dog is *realy* thinking about when its looking strate at you. Does it love you? or is it planning some type of weird and crazy accident with its hidden yet advanced mind.

well from what i heard there will be a straight port ns first which will be released with some future veriosn of hl2 after its out already.. just like there was a platinum pack for the first half life.(even tfc didnt even come with hl oridinally) and ns2 will add many more features like vehicles and mechs. and will most likely be retail.
and just becuase valve would release the game doesnt mean that they would have to buy or own NS. it could be released over steam and they could share the profits with valve. other companies are already planning on using steam to release games. the whole reason steam exist is to circumvent the **** up publisher sytem that stifles creativity and innovation. becuase of valves sucess its just the right company to pull this off. i'm sure they are thinking bigger than just using steam to release there own games..it might not even be profitable if they did.
