Any hints on content? I will assume bugfixes for TF2s latest major update (Personally, spy dispenser is win, it could be balanced by perma-removing sapper :P). I also noticed L4D auth. tools updated just before, L4D2 update has something to do with the SDK??!? (Please let it be the SDK!)

Hi all, Just wondering where the data for worldwide rank/players served comes from. I am aware this data is not 100% reliable, but would still like to display it on the website for my community (I can extract the data from practically any source, so that is not too much of a problem) Cheers,

As part of the Steam TOS that you agree to EVERY time you purchase a game, you agree to letting VAC ban you if you cheat. Really, go read it - Given the SM does alter the game, a VAC ban is fair. Furthermore most of the dumb facepuncher's have no idea what they are talking about - I think half

Of course, you can't compare a large franchise of games to the indie games, these guys had no advertising and no intention to make a lot of money - MW2 was backed by advertising, hype, and was a sequel which naturally gave it an edge. For a more fair comparison however, how much did the first COD
