does anyone know wether they are updating the game engine? for episode 2

[Kalbrecht]

They've made quite a few improvements and tweaks - physics, lighting, draw distance and more.

I haven't played Episode 1 yet, so I am thrilled to see they include it with Episode 2. Generally disliking FPS, I found myself completely enthralled by HL2.

Absolutely can't wait for this. My highlight of the year definitely. I'm a huge fan of the HL series. Its like the LOTR trilogy. The improvements to the physics and graphics engine look amazing too. Can't wait to see who dies (secret) Bring on the orange box!

I cant wait for this either. Im looking forward to Episode 2, the gameplay trailers are just amazing, much like the other gameplay trailers for HL2 have been, Ravenholm could have been so much more if Traptown had stayed in the game.

Im more of a singleplayer person but I'll give TF2 a go.
