r1pP3r Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ofcourse not. If it was, than only idiots would pay to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Well not now....but for HL2, there might be a monthly fee, which is just ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Tracker Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 A monthly fee to play HL2 on the internet :? Its a bit stupid don't you think since its mostly played online and worse since youre gonna have to pay double if you want a dedicated server(unless you don't hire someone to put it up for you)...... but we can't do anything about it.Sorry for making this out of topic..... sort of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enders Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Well not now....but for HL2, there might be a monthly fee, which is just ridiculous. wtf? where'd you get that info? I read an interview with Gabe and he said there's exactly no p2p on anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer From Away Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 what are they gonna charge for they arnt providing a servic other than the wonid thing which wouldnt cost more than 1cent a person for the 4 servers they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Tracker Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Hopefully UnwantedHero is correct b/c I'm gonna spend alot of money on upgrading my comp just to play HL2 Multiplayer n those amazin graphics *starts drooling* anyway if UnwantedHero is correct I won't try to hire a hit on the valve team(just kidding :wink: )!!!

Killer From Away Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 valve would lose to much money cause a lot of there sales are based on the multiplay and the mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_NORM_US_1 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 As much as i hate to admit it I do think that hl2 will have a small fee attached in order to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enders Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I am looking forward to the single player game, myself, and then any mods that come out of it. I got with Carl on that one Valve would be god to many a millions of people if they made TF2 Hl2's mp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decepticon Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 Well i think that if valve screwed the Multiplayer they are just plain stupid, that is the thing that makes us play HL(in a different version ofcourse) even now, and the game is like 5 years old. And I would say **** valve if they are gona lets us pay fore HL2 MP, i know that a lot of people dont have a creditcard(me fore instance and transferring the cash by bank is probably more expencive than the monthly fee), and hey most parents already complain about to mush gaming, do they really think that they are gona pay fore it? I just hope Valve keeps it free, you do know that by using steam fore HL2 and HL1 they can let us pay fore using Steam to play every future valve game, and even fore playing HL1... Lets pray to the mighty menkey that they dont do something that stupid or i am gona need to organise a LOT of lan parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
