you have to remember that in going over to Source
DOD has basically gone back to a being a beta and needs everything doing
again. Somethings will remain the same for now I think while they remake the
maps and add the new physics. It'll be a while before we have a Source
version of DoD with the same polish as the current 1.3 version. I think
they'll roll out an early version with half a dozen maps and maybe by the
end of the year
we'll have something more like a finished product.

as for you conclusion, you are completely right, paying more money for
a recycled old game or like i call it "steamed" is a complete waste!

this is probably the best thing about valve and steam, for now on you
will only have old recycled/steamed games sold via steam... yeah!

i'm confident valve will loose and all their greed will destroy them

I agree with a lot of what you said.

What did you expect? After all Valve didn't even include some of the High
Definition pack skins and models into HL:Source.

It seems a shame but while Valve is trying to kill the second hand market
with Steam, they try to sell their own old games twice. And this with DoD
and CS not being their own developments in the first place...

What was wrong with all the custom models? Only the user could see his/her
particular models. I had CS customized to the gills. That was part of the
fun. Beats the hell out of two models like the current CS. Can't believe
they haven't gotten any more variety in it yet.
