STEAM 2.0

You'll see a post about Steam on the main page when its installed on the servers. There will also be a link to any/all downloads that you need to make it work.

I don't believe that Valve has set a release date though, so I can't particularly say when Steam will kick in. I've heard good stuff about it, I'm excited (new map!). Anyway, hopefully Valve will put this out before TFC2

Is theville converting to steam? And correct me if I am wrong, but to play games it isn't manditory to have steam. You can still buy them from the store and play them like most of us do.

this is only a beta test.. you don't have to d/l it if you don't want to. The real update will come like a month or two later. And it would be seperate from your existing HL if you do decide to d/l it.

You know, after Steam nearly got me banned from the old TV4,
I don't think I'm going to bite Valve's bait here...

you could use the previous version of steam w/ the current version of HL if you wanted to. HL-Guard on tv4 would ban users w/ steam running.

You do mean hlg getting it right correct? I would hope so, considering VAC that steam is making is a lot better than hlg ever will be, or was. Hlg were the people who never looked at the steam implication of certain file usage, completely not sierra's fault.

What exactly is Steam?

God that engi teleporter thing is going to be lame. They already have NEO for that kind of stuff. If valve really wanted to make a lot of people happy they'd:

A) Work a little on the cheating issue (not all that big I think)

and

B) LEAVE TFC ALONE, OMG, I wish they had left it alone so that shotgun and AC aim was bad, as well as the sniper rifle (you'd actually have to aim the thing more!). They also had power concs and uncapped bhopping. When they released all these patches, the game became so much more angled towards defense and took away a lot of offensive power.

Dumping the TF2 project and concentrating on Counter-Wusses was bad enough, but now they keep trying to ruin TFC.
