Valve on TF2 Netcode

Feb 23, 2000 7:27pm CST tags: Valve, Team Fortress 2
The guys at TFTribune have a bit of information from Valve Software on the upcoming Half-Life patch that will be changing the netcode completely to use as a test-bed for the TF2 netcode. Now we can not only ogle at TeamFortress2 screenshots, we can ogle at TeamFortress2 netcode.

[Valve Software]: The new netcode dramatically decreases the amount of bandwidth used per player, which will definitely help in large games. The main barrier to increasing match sizes then is finding maps that are fun with that many players - probably cz2 and badlands would be a good start.
