We'll all probably be playing pub for a while LOL.

Look at what they were doing with tf 2 already: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=125721

well, it seems like they're updating to ep.1 engine (the tf2 one). that's good. it will make playability and fps better for people w/ shittier comps. most of what they're doing doesn't seem too bad...but if it breaks the mods i'm going to be pissed. css is a game that has always been easy to mod, and that has kept it so popular over the years. if this update breaks those mods, valve will find themselves high-and-dry once the "OMG CSS UPDATE ROFLS L33T!!" wave dies down and people start looking for their zombie servers, or their wcs or jailbreak servers.

the grenades will suck, but whatever, i'll deal so long as the mods will still run.

[Bullshit]

but isn't the wc3 support dead?

i mean, it seems like the only reason it can survive til now is because server admins are dedicated enough to actually fix problems themselves

Yes wc3 support is dead. BUT WCS support isnt. Big different

I thought that thing about the hats was a bad joke, guess not. Funny anyone else seeing a Valve downfall in a few years after HL2 EP3 comes out?

Just seems like there going against the very thing than made them popular, their modding community.

On a side note:
It'd be a wise decision to back up your CS:S folder if you've completely changed all of your gun models like I have, we have NO idea when the beta's going to be forced upon us all.

lol, will that even help? i mean, if they fuck over skinning...
edit: you mean the folder in .../steam/steamapps/<username>/counterstrikesource?

[Kavinsky]

Yeah that entire folder, there might be a way to run it without steam if they really do screw over all of our mods with the beta.

[Jeimuzu]

Yea I can still add and remove maps. Also yes it will be the same engine as l4d/tf2.

I f*cking hate the L4D engine.. It annoys the hell out of me. If I could I would rather play L4D with the current CS:S engine..

It's official sadly:

Already rasing hell about it:

Tried to post but it's already closed D=

Have you told the bastards that it would virtually break every mod and that they're going against what made them popular and what not?..

[Fireye]

It's actually the Orange Box engine, not the L4D engine. They are two entirely separate things.

The Orange Box engine powers Portal, TF2, and HL2Ep2 (IIRC).

ok, that's good. better at least. it will definately break evey single skin though, since skins for hl2 work on ep. 1, but not ep.2
