Unless your blind or retarded you will have noticed that HL2 was released as planned today. I had great fun playing it today from 8am to 6pm non stop, and the effort thats gone into it certainly shows through.
So why am I posting this on the is82.com news ? Well because even before its launched, part of the is04 team has the job of looking at moving interstate to the HL2 engine.
While BF Vietnam engine is good, and will be the first platform for IS04 to be launched on, the HL2 engine far surpasses it. Combined with the huge fanbase and better hosting available means that any mod using the HL2 engine will greatly benifit.
