I agree Blue, I completely enjoyed Reloaded and am anxiously awaiting Revolutions. Even as I type this I am heading off to buy the movie on DVD!

yeah, the way I understand it, that's the problem. people can make new and "better" ways to cheat since they know the secrets that Valve was doing to keep the cheating out.

as far as why only partial theft results in a delay, I would think it's all in what part was stolen, and I dont think Valve will want to tell us all exactly what part was stolen, otherwise you're telling the pricks that stole it exactly what they got.

although saying I completely understand how source code works would be very wrong, so, I also may be full of it.

I know some people kind of ripped the demo for a number of things... but man did I have a lot of fun with it. So I hope that the 30th sticks as the date, 'cause I can't wait to play this puppy.

Having lost my mom to breast cancer a few years ago, I have some idea what you're going through, but that doesn't make it any easier. I had a lot of friends and family that helped me then, and I hope you realize that this whole community will be here for you whenever you decide to return.

My hope and prayers go with your family at this time, and I hope your mom pulls through even stronger than before.
