Half-Life 1.1.0.0 Confusion?
|10:56 AM|GMT|Killa-Kyle|

So you know, I posted news yesterday about the delay of Half-Life 1.1.0.0. It seems that people are unsure now as to when its coming out. It should be with us around Thursday. Also lots of people e-mailed me about what was going to be in the patch.

I can't give specifics but, the main part of the patch is Team Fortress Classic 1.5 [Not TF2]. There will be some new optimised net code and other bugs fixed. Hope that clears the issues up.
