I can't stand it anymore. I'm downloading it. IT's A FRICKEN TECH DEMO PRACTICALLY! I actually do kinda believe the theory that this was set up. At the same time though, I kinda find it hard to believe that they would just throw their code out there... I dunno. When it comes down to it, it's all about Money.Cha Ching! $$$

You saying they're throwing their code out there for peaple to start making mods and hacks?Yes, I said hacks. I think there's something to what Vasily said about Valve being lazy about stopping hackers because hackers getting caught in banned means those hackers will have to buy another CD key.

Hacks are a very small part of the game? Who really cares? I personally dont hack, but its still not a major thing. Someone hacks, you know it, you ban them. Simple. Hacking is overrated.

I've played FA for about 2 months straight now, and about 4 months straight during 2.6. Hacking is overrated. It's a small part of the crap that happens behind the secenes. I've never DL's a hack, not to mention I've never bothered understanding the idea of how hacks work. I'm here to have fun, to run around and shoot stuff, and die a lot.

Deadroach you have a point there.Hacking a small part? Dude everytime a Steam ID gets banned, it's time for the Hackers to start buying another copy of Half-Life, that's $30.00 for the Platinum version, and at Game Retail stores Platinum version is all I see. Your lucky to find an original package of Half-Life. Think about it, alot of noobs hacking = more money for Valve. OOOOOoooo Conspiracy.

hacking is overrated.... trying to throw someone off your scent =D
