Well there are not very many variables besides enivronment and skins, in reality its a game with only 20 mid-sized maps. Can't wait for custom and dl content.

Yeah I get the same problem, when I enter the safe room and loads the 2nd part of the mission I start lagging and I have to re-connect to get rid of the lag. Don't know why, I think its in part of using a wireless connect. When I connect directly to the modem or router, there is no more lag. Word

its only 4.4 gigs for two reasons. 1 because as the people above me stated it really isnt that large of a game when you think about it. But also 2, there hasnt been a game from valve that I know of that hasnt borrowed from other game's files since hl2 i think

well it does use the source engine (and why not) so obviously it will not download the entire source engine again- hence we have 'constant' updates of it

using the same engine isnt what i was talking about.. i mean like using textures etc from previous games. try playing TF2 after deleting one of the hl2 gcfs.

Edited for a new post :D

I just found out that if you write "openserverbrowser" in console, you will get the old-well-known-sweet-ass serverbrowser as you know it from CS and etc!!
