Saw this on another forum. Take a min or two to sign the petition. Even if you don't care about Half-Life (2), at least do it to give linux another game; NATIVE linux game that is...

signed it :-)

and so should you! (yes, i mean you...right there...in front of your computer...yup...you)

Actually Counter-Strike native port is much appreciated.

Playing Enemy Territory reminds me of the good old Quake 3 engine - which ET actually uses.

Well technically if Half-Life was ported so would Counter-Strike, since it is a HL mod. But to hold you over from any CS urges, try this cool Quake3 mod. www.truecombat.com
I've played it the past few days and it's pretty fun.

signed it.

Ohh can't wait for Doom 3, when is it roughly due, anyone?

Native HL prt for Linux would be a really bad idea!! I'd never get any work done.

Don't care about half life 2? How could you say that? it's sacrilege! I saw screenshots of the graphics and read about the gameplay engine. HL2 is going to be sick. I hope that it's ported though or else I just won't buy it though.

Late this year. Notice my signiture? Go forth and read any available interviews. It'll make you drool. Trent Reznor (NIN) said they keep pushing back the date because of new ideas / methods to make it the least pleasant place to be

day of defeat and counterstrike linux native ports THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD!!

Yeah, if they open-source Half-Life, I know these two guys who were porting MiG Alley that would probably be able to port it.

Tuxgames has it listed as the 31st of Oct 03, I would give it an extra month or more.

Signed that puppy

Yeah, if Trent Reznor says they're pushing it back, then they could keep pushing it back further than that. I'm going to order my copy from TuxGames when it's released so I'm sure to 1) count as a Linux sale 2) support my friend Michael and 3) get it in a DVD case.

i heard that Trent Razor had left, so they decided to remake all of teh sounds again???

Tasty if he hasn't though!

Any idea if it will shp with a linux installer, like ut2003?

My guess is no. It depends on if TTimo has any trouble porting it and such. I hope he could get it done in time, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

They'll probably just release a downloadable binary as they have in the past.

(Yet another reason I'll get it from TuxGames. They'll ensure I can install it and run it on Linux with no need for Wine or Windows.)

TTimo ?

Anyway - didn't mean to misquote Reznor, all he had said was they're trying their hardest to make it the most unpleasant place to be. Someone else (Carmack?) said they keep adding the cool stuff...

I don't think Reznor left, he probably just finished the soundtrack and went on his [merry??] way. He wasn't involved with sound effects or anything. They have a new guy devoted to sound (first time in id's history they have a guy just for sound) because it's in 6.1 surround!! <drool>

signed it _
also sent to /.
go get your wife, friends and dead uncle to sign it.

How many signatures will we need to get Valve to listen to us?

dunno, if i recall correctly, the author of the page is going to add a counter to show how many people have signed it.

Timothee Besset. He does the linux stuff for id software.

Well the number of petitions has passed the 2,500 mark now we're on our way!



How many votes people thik it will take to make valve atleast listen, and possibly port?

I assume you mean Trent Reznor, of NIN fame. I hope he hasn't, as he's an amazing musical artist...(well, when he wants to be atleast...which is most of the time )

He must mean "whoever static said" because if he'd ever heard of 'em he wouldn'ta called 'im Razor

I missed the ealier posts mentioning Trent. oops. Now I'm Nothing, eh? ;-)

well me calling him razor rather than renzor is what i get for not reading properly and just skimming
