It was very uplifting to see how the community rallied and tracked these people down. Everyone here at Valve is once again reminded of how much we owe to the gaming community

Yes, the hitboxes. Especially the headshot box which extends way far out behind the head, and is completely inconsistent with the model when crouching.

I'm going to have to believe the hype on this one...just think about it...



If it wasn't for these Fruitloops, we'd all be complaining about how short HL 2 was and drooling over advanced screenshots of CS:Source...

let them fight against a gargantua... ehhr... and a strider

with a crowbar!

maybe that could be an easter egg in the game, torture and mutilate the bodies of the hackers with an assortment of tools.

The only good that comes outa this is that Microsoft will hopefully patch of some of the bugs. "Hopefully" Why valve had there source sitting on a mail server is also a mystery but..blame microsoft, and the hackers of course. but there gettin jailed so who cares =)

and not to mention all the other flaws of CS (i.e incorrectly mirrored models, "dysfunctional" VAC, clipping errors, etc.)

FYI they aren't incorrectly mirrored models, as the people (cliffe or gooseman) were left handed and made the game left handed. And the disfunctional vac is not valves fault as people are constantly trying to find a back door. And no one gives half a piss about clipping errors.
