i had heard somewhere that vALVEhas been in the process of porting HL (client) to linux for some time. that, supposedly, came straight from vALVE. it was probably a year ago when i first discovered it. a year later and still nothing. although HL/CS is still thee most popular multiplayer FPS there is, by far, there's other games that are starting to look attractive to me, so even if they do a port it may be too late anyway. HL runs on a modified Q2 (or is it the Q1) engine - i forget now. there's better engines out now, including Q3 and unreal, whatever engine they use.
give me 1 wish? ok, i wish they'd change engines to the Q3 one and do a linux port. there's little doubt in my mind that HL could continue as king of the hill for another 3 years if these changes were made, primarily the engine.
