I agree that before alpha comes there will be a few more reveals (but not necessarily everything needs a reveal). So I'm not really excepting anything this Friday. Not even a reveal. Would be sweet if they do reveal something. As much as I love the idea of mapping for NS2 someday, I've no time for it right now so the editor updates are not that exciting for me.

september 23rd 2003 was the initial release date of halflife 2. valve gave it as a hard release date, saying it would be finished and in stores on that date. for the entire month of september valve never gave out a press release, even up until september 22nd stores thought they were getting halflife 2, then it just didn't show up. didn't get to stores until 13 months later.
so saying we'll get the alpha september 23rd 2003 is akin to saying we'll get it a year from whenever we think we might get it, or when it's done.

Thats assuming the Fade and Lerk will actually be in the initial Alpha, rather than an update after it has been released to the masses for awhile.

If it's not an editor update, then what kind of update are we getting?

I would actually like to see a Spark Editor update that fixes the lighting preview.
What's wrong with it is that when you fly around the lights that have shadows enabled sometimes turns off their shadows and lights the whole place up.
See <a href="http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/3566/nslighting2.png" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1377/nslighting.png" target="_blank">this</a> image to look at what happens when I move around just a little bit. The shadow is there but then it goes away.
