HL 1.1.1.0 Soon?

[CSN NewsBot]

In case you missed it, HL 1.1.1.0 and CS 1.5 are coming very soon. Here's what we posted last night:

New client and server updates for Half-Life and Counter-Strike are in the final phases of development and will be released in the coming weeks. Both updates (Half-Life 1.1.1.0 and C.S. 1.5) include the Ricochet Mod, phase two of the recently introduced anti-cheat technology, as well as various fixes and tweaks. The Ricochet Mod source, which includes animation blending and multi-serve technology, will be added to the Half-Life SDK. In addition, Counter-Strike 1.5 includes de_piranesi, a new mission created by Iikka Keranen.

Eric Johnson from Valve also wrote the HLDS mailing list in regards to the release date:

We generally let the lists know when we're totally nailed down and getting ready for the release. Right now we're planning the release for next Wednesday, but if we run into any significant problems in testing we'll have to push things back a week.



We'll know on Friday if things are going to go ahead as planned, and we'll let you know here. We didn't want to get all the alarm bells ringing until it's a definite thing.

No



``someone from valve''



rish this is a horrible interview.

[Ritchey007]

I didn't interview him, I got it from the list ;P

Never the less, they are good questions.

[Smart[N.e.r.d.]]

That "someone from valve" is Eric Johnson. He is a project manager.

[rizzuh]

It's Eric or Erik. I don't know who, so I'm not using his name.



And I'm removing the Q&A because it's worthless compared to the quote.

narbet youu little ;\



Anyhways, this phase 2 of the anti-cheat intrigues me. Apparently according to the OGC developers VAC in its current form is every so easy to hack.



I would hope no gameplay changes are made, atleast not any major ones. I do like gameplay changes, but they take some time to adapt to, and our clan is just now fully adapted to 1.4 strats. Hope this isn't gonna put us back to the drawing board for another couple weeks.

[sarcasm]Wait a second here! Did I hear someone say he doesn't want and major gameplay changes?!? This must be considered as whining so we must flame him to death for his opinion. I mean, if you like major gameplay changes, you shouldn't be able to get enough of them. We should have major gameplay changes each release because that will keep the game fun and interesting. Screw the game people bought, new is fun. If you don't like it, don't bitch about it, adapt or quit.[/sarcasm]



Sorry but I just had to do that. Now you know how it feels.

[Jsunu]

I dont think there will be any major gameplay changes
