And ProMod HAS taken forever and it IS easy to write. CS is a very, very simple game aside from possibly player movement and maybe the netcode feel (and only slightly difficult because of the engine at hand). The only thing they have to show for years of work is a few maps. If the project was being done right, they would have written all the code using the CS:S media from the start, and then had a viable product that was backwards compatible. You can build the media from there, quickly.

ProMod lost its chance by not being ready for DirecTV in time. Now, the most it can probably do is temporarily divide the CS:Source community.

Amen.

They focused way to much on graphics.

I guess what do you guys think?

YOUR DIEING!!

Yes it is... Valve's stupidity and ignorance amazes me nearly as much as the stupidity and ignorance of clans/teams switching from 1.6 to source....

Gaming has moved to the point where advertising is very big. Same as with real sports, it's all about money. Teams will go where the money is; for them it's not really arrogance or stupidity, it's business.
