Yep, cliffe mentions that in the interview I did with him.

Hey,



Dust was rebuilt entirely by Valve, specifically Ido Magal and Kristen I

think, and I'm glad they did it. They did an absolutely fantastic job

(more than I could have managed on my own). I imagine they rebuilt the

entire map from scratch, since it's rather easy to do, adding in all the

improvements along the way.

rofl that is oldschool



On another note, whats the point in starting to get annoyed because cs:s isn't preloading, what are you gonna do , move the .gcf file around the screen pretending that windows has ragdoll physics ?



*****edit , it is on the same note

well the point is we were frustrated because if the preload is late then the release date will be late and also some of us were hoping to preload it before tomorrow because half-life 2 starts loading like 2 GB's of textures and sounds and what not for those of us who Valve knows is getting it so that is a pretty good reason!
