HL remains popular because in shitty countries you can have a worthless computer with no vid card and still run it.

hl remains popular because its fun.

Best reply so far.

Just because a new game comes out doesn't mean everyone has to jump on the bandwagon and leave whatever they're doing. I still have the potential to do something decent for HL and actually get it done, whereas with HL2 I don't really have any ideas (except possibly a SS2 clone). At the end of the day I map for my own pleasure but if everyone else gains fun from it then great..

Hey, people still map for Quake y'know...

i know you all love hostile intent with a passion

[JynxDaddy]

Its hardly beating a dead horse, because its not dead. Its a virile stalion!

[Skjalg]

once hl2 is out, i will play that untill it bores me, then go back to HL1 mods untill some cool mod for HL2 is released and start playing that...

same with mapping, i map for the games i play...

btw, both HL and Starcraft is both played by so many because they are so fun to play... but it has also a little to do with alot of people not wanting to upgrade their pc (or cant afford it)...

atleast thats what i think..

[Minos]
