Another rocking article has been posted over at GameSpy. This time it deals with Valve's upcoming Multicast Spectator tool, which will be included in the new release of HL and CS at the end of this month. Here's a blurb:
And this is the only the beginning folks. "We want to have professional play-by-play, just like in football and basketball," explains Robin. "People can also chat during spectator mode and say stuff like, 'Did you see that kill!' 'That was awesome!' That's the sort of thing we want to see happen with this." And as expected, Valve is already working on the 2nd generation of the Multicast Spectator Tech. "We're building a tool so a person can make a demo, complete with Matrix-style slow motion effects. Imagine slowing down a head shot with a sniper rifle and watching it at different angles. Clans can put together the 'Best 3 Shots of the Match' or 'Play of the Day' types of demos, the possibilities are endless," states Johnson.
