In other Valve-esque MP news, if anyone sees a Zombie-CS server in their list, I strongly recommend giving it a try. I've been playing it a lot recently, and it's been great fun.

The zombies get 400+ (depending on server setup) HP and it regenerates, but they only get knives. Oh and they can burn you, fairly randomly, if they get up close to you. Some places will also restrict the weapons.
It comes in two variants - one where the zombies are bot controlled (in which case look for a server where the human players are outnumbered approx 3 to 1, for a balanced fun time), one where you can play as both sides (1 on 1 seems about right).

As usual, this being the Internet, there are jackasses who manage to steal all the fun for themselves. Particularly in this game's case, players who climb to places where the bots can't reach, thereby removing all challenge for themselves and all fun for anyone who happens to have died already that round. Similar climbing antics make it pretty sucky for humans playing as zombies, though it's less infuriatingly impossible. Look for people who will refuse to balance the teams too, on non-bot servers.
Ie, as usual, find a server that has an admin within arm's reach.

When you do, there's nothing quite like defending your little section of the map from wave after wave of destruction, struggling desperately to conserve ammo, being driven back and then pushing forward, covering your buddys' backs, etc. Coming from someone who often finds CS quite a lonely experience where no one can be trusted to back you up and your teammates will more often get you killed than anything else, it's a welcome change!

Once the Properties menu option becomes available, I'll set "Do not update this game", and leave it at that. I had enough of DoD back when it was on the old engine, and we have Wolfenstein ET, which is free, and Call of Duty/UO/2, which are excellent in their own regard without requiring a subscription.

Sorry, Valve, but you'll have to come up with something original to get my next purchase.

This gets a big "Yawn" from me. DOD stopped being fun after 1.3b when they went "realistic" (added accuracy, or should I say inaccruacy, cones to the weapons) with the gameplay. Nothing is less fun than getting in a one-on-one firefight with someone on the opposite team to have the outcome decided by a random number generator in the code.

How I miss 1.3b Omaha, Koln, and Caen... those were the days when you could get the "hotdogs" as we called them -- the TNT packs to everyone else -- and blow up the tanks and get mad crazy points.

What kind of gameplay is it in this mod anyway? Enemy Territory like (team vs team objective based / assault style)? If I read the announcement correctly I should be able to buy just this without having to bother with HL2 och CS. If that's the case and there will be shackbattles in this game, I just might pick it up.
