<i>Taken from a review with the man that reviewed Half-Life 2 first, Senior Editor Chuck Osborn from PCGamer.</i>

<a href='http://www.halflife2.net/' target='_blank'>http://www.halflife2.net/</a>

Icarus: Does it have multiplayer, if so what are they?
Chuck Osborn: <i>Counter-Strike Source is the multiplayer.</i>

Icarus: Only CS:S, no Deathmatch?
Chuck Osborn: <i>Only CS:S</i>


Not cool Valve.....

    Well, CS fans outnumber fans of DMC and TFC.

    Ricochet is, of course, negligible.

    Considering that this man is not directly affiliated with Valve, I'm not going to take anything he says too seriously. I want a direct statement from someone making the game, not someone who played a prerelease version of it then wrote about it.

    I guess what really needs to be asked is if CS:Source is the multiplayer, why is it the "Special Edition" package is touted for having CS:S already in it.. I mean, its not like Valve would make something the only multiplayer component then not put it on the standard retail discs? And if it is on the standard retail discs, then what the hell is so special about the special edition that validates and extra $30? A Tshirt, a large box and a Strategy guide valued at ... okay, so maybe the special edition is just a bundle for the strategy guide.. but I really hope not.

    I don't remember Gabe ever announcing what Hl2's multiplayer was. He said Hl2 would come with CS:S but he never said anytihng else yet I don't think.

    Yes this is new, and this is very bad.... Everyone thought there would be HL2 multiplayer and if I remember correctly hacked version that was floating around net had mutliplayer.... Im not too sure but I remember hearing that. No HL2 weapons multi player= loss of sales and bad news. Cs:s, gameplay is the same. Not cool at all, now I'm just not excited about multiplayer hl anymore.....

    This is incorrect. There are a few things obvious to the longtime PCGer:

    1. Chuck Osborne doing the review? Yeah right. The only person who would have done it(because he's PCG lead) is Dan Morris.

    2. When PCG themselves have been interviewed, they usually have haniously long answers, laden with jokes. Being this quick and concise is not like them at all.

    3. If CS:S is the only MP, why were they converting TFC, Ricochet, DMC, and DoD too? Or was that a line? That doesn't make any sense.

    Edit: Deleted #4 cause I saw a different page(so I copy my links instead of click 'em. Sorry!)

    Well, this is extremely disappointing. I happen to belong to the (inevitably) small group of people who have only played CS about 4 hours total in their entire life.

    Why make CS:S the base for the SDK when HL2DM or something similar would make so much more sense? HL2DM would also take much less work to make, since most of the content is already there in the single player format.

    I still think that Valve has something hidden, since I can't believe they would pull something like this. However, I reserve the right to be catastrophically wrong. I just hope I'm not...

    But we can still download other mods (DoD, TFC...) through steam on the source engine for free right?

    Even if it isn't in, it will be modded in most likely. Course, that would be just like Valve, waiting for the Mod Community to make their money for them.

    At least Valve is actually making this game with the mod community in mind. Even if they are depending somewhat on their talent. I really want to see some of the old HL1 mods transfer over... Guess what is on the top of <i>that</i> list.

    They've already said that they're porting over all of the HL multiplayer mods, HLDM, DMC, TFC, etc. Supposedly, that is. Those are bottom priority though, and don't forget that people are going to also be playing, gasp, older games as well! Valve knows that they're multiplayer has nothing on the modding community, so why give anything besides the port of the most popular online game in existence? Makes perfect sense to me. I mean, unless you guys are looking for one more reason for HL2 to be delayed...
