Pretty self explanatory questions? I think the answer here and the details could make or break this risky venture with Steam & Episodes.

(I personally applaud it and you cajones in breaking new gound....)

You'll be waiting awhile for an announcement Jezzy. They may have to abide an NDA agreement until it has gone official. Looking at the problem Valve created for themselves on the release of Half-life 2 (Deathmatch not offically supported until months later and so most people bought HL2 for CS:S in the beginning), Ritual probably won't make the same mistake.

Personally I'm worried about the HL2 modding community... More than six months on and were only just starting to see results, maybe the jump from the HL engine was too much for the majority?

That said... Another question comes to mind. Will people be permited to make public mods for SiN Episodes?

I don't think so. Because the Source engine used in Sin 2 has been tweaked, so it is supposed to be better than the HLČ engine. I think Valve will refuse letting the mod community migrate on the Sin2 engine.

Lets hope for a good level editor for sin2, the source hammer is pretty good but maybe an upgraded radiant?

i just wonder, what kept sin alive all these years? and now they will make it only single player?
can it be that they keep everybody holding their breath for an announcement and suddenly it comes?
i really hope so, if not ritual will be on top of my list /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yes or no? I hope that the CTF Multiplayer is in side like in SiN1. This CTF with the Runes and the Grabble was the best I ever played. Dont forgett the people that all the years let SiN alive! Give us the cool time back and dont forgett the people who want play multiplayer!

I demand Multiplayer (DM + CTF).

Yours sincerely,

It's very simple...you NEED multiplayer to get this launch right. It pulls in more fans, more sales, more opsion for revenue in future relases and episodes.

Although it is very quiet on the interviews and like. I've heard no mention....

Seriously. Tell me one Steam game, which has no multiplayer!
SiN Episodes will have multiplayer, I'm pretty sure.

I demand that GarryTV makes GarrysMod for SiN Episodes.

Blade on Elexis action!
Mutant on JC action!

I agree that's very likely, but multiplayer might not be included in the first 'episode'...

Wow, Jezzy, it never occurred to me that Sin2 wouldn't have MP. I played HL for a week till the SP was over -- I played Sin for years because of the MP. If it doesn't have MP, what's the point?

The nuke and bikes in WOS CTF was a beautiful thing.
