Weekly Steam Update

[Supersonic^]

Quite a big update then. That's good news. My faith in Valve continues to grow after all the troubles they've been having.



It's a shame that we'll probably be seeing HL2 at E3 2004, a year after it was unveiled at the last E3.

[Tempest]

damn they should give CT's money for getting to the hosties then dieing... or do they already do that?

[abel]

they do tempest :p hope this update comes out fast, lots of matches tonight in CAL and don't want any problems

[a_russak]

Finally fixed the respawn hack, I think....

[Preston]

I can't understand why you don't get points for each hostage rescue, when you do for bomb defuse/plant.....

[RaptorRage]

What exactly is the spec_menu bug anyway I don't think I've run across it yet...

[MikeJ]

with these changes CAL is doing a test change of their round time to 2:30 (was 3:00). this seems cool and should speed things up, but not too much so seeing as you can now plant with 3 seconds left.

From Erik:

The news page hasn't been updated just yet, but we're going to be pushing this to tomorrow morning.

[Spoonman]

Thanks for the heads-up.

[Ricebowl]

Does this mean the shield exploits are all gone or what? I really like the change with the bomb timer!

pushed back..would be the same thing as "delayed"..ah..the one word valve uses the most

[rizzuh]

They're probably delaying it so they won't interfere with league games tonight, so give Valve a break.

[xlokix]

yes that would make sense
