20'000 Banned from HL2

Game maker Valve shut down the online accounts of the players because it had evidence that their copy of the game had been obtained illegally.

Yeh me either.

The way they caught people was the release people were leeching off p2p and crap like that had there IP's send to VALVE, which gave the user away. They only way to stay safe from that was to play it without your internet on.

HL2 was the first game I've paid for in a long time, and I'm sure glad I did! Great game, well worth the cash (especially with Steam and all). Go Valve!

You should be shot for saying that. This game is by far one of the best PC games ever released.

Eh, I agree that the game isn't that great. Multiplayer is what stands out in a game for me, and HL2 brought nothing new to the tables. Just the same ol' shitty Counter Strike: buy, run, shoot, buy, run, shoot. Granted single player is fun, and they brought a lot of great features to it, single player doesn't make the availability of the game, multiplayer does.

As far as the 20,000 banned goes, well I guess they deserve it. IMO this was a much better solution to fixing their warez problem rather than going about suing people. So, for that, you have to give Valve teh props.

























MP still sucks.

There's actually a hl2 multiplayer, it's just waiting to be implemented. Right now if you download a little mod you can get it working on a testmap.
