Almost seems that BF2 is going to be what we need rather then HL2. Don't get me wrong... I've been dying to do HL2.. but if we can only realistically expect a minor handful of vehicles to be usable at any one time without Lag issues... we'll its definetly a major consideration that has to be evaluated.
I would suspect many mods are pretty much of the mindset that vehicles are a given and that any new engine should be able to handle it without issue on a mutliplayer environment, especially considering the standard set by the BF series in that regard. How many mods here have vehicles as a large component of thier design?
