ok im sorry please dont flame me <3 i love ut2004 <3 <3 just a bit suprised nobody has brought up the idea of porting to hl2 (that i know of) either by the team vortex team or by someone else. i actually know someone who wants to port it but i told him its not right unless you get permission from team vortex...and i dont want to start a flame war, but what do people think? simple poll

personally id prefer just to stay ut2004 but i know so many people who uninstalled it for hl2 -_-

DB is an UT2K4 mod - I see no reason whatsoever to port it across to HL2...

i'd guess DB would have a bigger potential audience on HL2, but seeing as my PC runs like a pile of steaming monkey turd, I'd prefer it stayed on ut2004 too.

i dont think starting again from scratch is what Team Vortex has in mind right now. its not just a copy and paste - it is a whole new engine and DavidM and the others are used to the UT engine(s)

yeah thats why i made the comment of another team, but i doubt that would go down well :p personally im dreaming of db on the next unreal engine :D but that undoubtedly would be a complete redo too

porting = redoing
keep that in mind
and their engine has nothing that we don't have now.

Awsome physics perhaps?

Well, there some advantages in porting to HL2.

But it takes everything to be done from scratch, and that would be somewhat a worthless effort, tbh.

haha should make DB for CS Source with the CS models and weapon meshes, that might get a few players ;)

from a semi-mapping pov, i much prefer ued to hammer, especially when dealing with custom stuff. ued is so much more intuative and hammer is a little whiney bitch who makes my evenings a misery.

but from what i read into the sdk stuff (and my pisspoor uscript coding), extensions to the current hl2 stuff is easier, but adding new things looks a lot harder. but im not a proper coder so what do i know? :D

I disagree HL2 does at least an equal physics system.

yup... equal != superior

so you should agree :)

Physics alone doth not a good game make.
