There is an interview over at http://www.halflife2.net with a guy doing the review of Half-Life 2 where they mention that CS:S will be the only multiplayer part to HL2
If this is true then in my eyes HL2 will not be worth buying. I'm not a big fan of CS and I'm not a big fan of single player either. So if this is true, unless you are a huge CS fan and like to play single player over and over again I would not bother with HL2 at all.
Again I say "IF" because none of this is really confirmed by Valve (like that would ever happen they have told us lots of little and big lies that keep adding up against them) its some guy from PCgamer mag.
Here is the whole interview..
Quote:Icarus: Does it have multiplayer, if so what are they?
Chuck Osborn: Counter-Strike Source is the multiplayer
Icarus: Only CS:S, no Deathmatch?
Chuck Osborn: Only CS:S

Quote:Today I was able to get a World Exclusive Interview with the man that reviewed Half-Life 2 first, Senior Editor Chuck Osborn from PCGamer. So letâs just get straight to it.
Icarus: What was your reaction when you found out you would be the first to review Half-Life 2?
Chuck Osborn: It was a mixture of excitement and trepidation, because of the responsibility of being the first one to review it.
Icarus: Was Half-Life 2 what you expected?
Chuck Osborn: More
Icarus: Was it worth the wait?
Chuck Osborn: Absolutely
Icarus: How long is the review?
Chuck Osborn: Nine pages, plus we have a four page story telling you what you need to know about running Half-Life 2 on your system.
Icarus: Did it seem dated?
Chuck Osborn: Not at all.
Icarus: Are there any spoilers in the review?
Chuck Osborn: There are some mild spoilers, because you canât review it without giving away something. I say very clearly when to stop reading if you donât want to know anything. If you read the entire review, there are a lot of surprises I donât talk about, because I want you to be surprised. This is not a spoiler review.
Icarus: Does it have multiplayer, if so what are they?
Chuck Osborn: Counter-Strike Source is the multiplayer.
Icarus: Only CS:S, no Deathmatch?
Chuck Osborn: Only CS:S
Icarus: Has it (CS:S) changed any from Beta?
Chuck Osborn: Itâs what they say itâs going to be, but with a few surprises
Icarus: Who did you get to play it with?
Chuck Osborn: Valve as well as playing in within our own offices
Icarus: Did you get to play HL Source?
Chuck Osborn: Yes.
Icarus: Can you tell me anything about HL:Source?
Chuck Osborn: Nope
Icarus: Is it (HL:S) included in the review?
Chuck Osborn: Yes, it's discussed in a sidebar along with a few screenshots.
Icarus: Anything you want to say the users before I go?
Chuck Osborn: I'm just glad I don't have to keep my playing Half-Life 2 a secret anymore! It was killing me. Trust me...you won't be disappointed.
