Changing The Playing Field A Night At The Half-Life Mod Expo is a 3D Action Planet article by Sluggo (of Mod Central HL) taking in all the action at last week's Half-Life mod expo, where a bunch of new Half-Life mods were unveiled. Word is to expect reports on this stuff all next week, but he kicks things off with a look at the whole event, including some Q&A with Valve's Harry Teasley and Erik Johnson, and a few newsworthy quotes from Valve's Gabe Newell like the following:

"We're going to be releasing a new version of Half-Life next week...The new release, basically, is due to conversations we've been having with mod developers - they need some functionality specifically for bot technology. So, next week, there will be two bots released for Half-Life."
