HALFLIFE 2 SOURCE CODE: Released

I agree with Squick

And I also work in the same field as Squick

I'm a Network Security Engineer and can say that the only way you get hacked is if you get sloppy.

There is an attitude around developers that security is the last thing they need to worry about. Funny thing is that now they see the price.

They were dependent on the %98 sollution (simple Firewall, maybe proxy, and virus scanners) that works great against Script kiddies, and the unskilled yutzes. Not against anyone who has even a little bitty bit of more skill.

Oh well, yet another article to show to clients to try to sell my services

This will delay the release of HL2 6 months imo

Between the time it's going to take Valve to do damage control/repair and the sales they've lost (it's more or less an open-source project), it's gonna rape Valve's wallet.

On the plus side, it's been reported that both TF2 and a better-looking CS version, possibly using the Sourse physics are in, which is a big plus. One would only have to conceviably recreate good looking resources (textures, models, ect) and you'd have AMAZING mods.
