Meet the Sniper is next

Also, the link is being updated as we speak as it's part of a Steamworks event. Here's a quote about a new Steam feature called Steamcloud:

15.11. Valve are announcing Steamcloud.

Save games and configs are to be stored by the Steam back-end. Half-Life will be the first to do this, with Counter-Strike remembering your key config. Left 4 Dead will ship with this too.

If you’re offline it caches the data locally, and then uploads it as soon as it can. They will keep those save games forever. “You can uninstall Half-Life, then come back to it two years later and finally finish Xen.”

It will be free, to both developers and customers.

Awesome .

While I'm pretty excited about Meet the Sniper, I'm more excited at the prospect of "Steamcloud" and buying games through Steam with sterling.

Well they did throw off the balance of tf2 dramatically by listening to the whiny noobs. And they are making us wait 18 months for another 2 hours of HL2 content which should have been in the game its self not the episodes!

I really, REALLY like the idea of Steamcloud. It'll be nice to be able to delete games (aka HL2:Ep 3 when it comes) and replay a level again.

Has it occurred to you that... HL2 episodic content is a rip off? Do you really like waiting every 18 months for another 2 hours of gameplay that was supposed to be in the Original HL2 its self? Have you ever wondered why HL2 was so short? 4 fucking hours of gameplay? Ha dont make me laugh!
The original Half Life was so much better and longer! 12 hours of good solid entertaining gameplay. God fucking damn i wish Mike Harrington was still in control at Valve.

Half Life 2? 4 hours? HL2 was WAY longer than 4 hours. It was definitely in the 10-20 mark. And the episodic content is also way longer than 2 hours. The most common complaint I read about HL2 is that it's too long. Sure if you play through again it can be done shorter, but i've also seen vids where people complete the original Half Life in under an hour so go figure.

While I agree that the first was better, all those comments are just not true. Stuff that was meant to be in the game? No. Rip off? As far as I remember, a rip off is when you're overcharged for something. Waiting for them to create the episodes has nothing to do with that. When they come out they're fairly priced (or in the case of the Orange Box, incredible value for money).

Hah. 12 hours? I've seen a guy complete it in half an hour.

You're kidding right? 10-20 hours? Either you play games 2.5-5x slower than the rest of us, Or you're perception of time is screwed up. Too long? Ha! The game drags on in certain parts, and Speeds up in others. Throwing the pace of the game off track. HL1 on the other hand had perfect pacing. Not too fast nor too slow, Just perfect.

Ehm, 4 hours definitly not, if you play it at a normal pace it will take you at least 10 hours.
