O yes, and another thing, CSSource is not a mod if its developed by valve and might be the only mulitplayer HL2 provides.

As for the bf42 patching, yes it did add a lot of content, I tahkn them for that, its teh best patching ive ever seen, second goes to the UnrealTornument series. However the state of the gameplay and playablity and netcode is completely reinvented since the original, I don't want my games to be glitchy or rushed, or hyped, sadly HL2 has gotten themselves into this perdicament, they already are a year late on from when the said they would release, and keep saying, itll be out summer, then itll be out fall, and soon, itll be out winter(althought the game looks to be finsihing development from what ive seen). So they really can't say, we need another year to work out the bugs, because then a lot of people are just going to drop HL2 because of a 2 year deley. and by that time unless the textures and models get serious reworking and normal mapping gets added, the graphics will be of a 3-4 year old game.

HL2's graphics, and physics(karma and havok are on the same level), are as good as UT2k3, which came out in 2002, its a long overdue game.
