I guess that all depends on who you're talking to I guess. To Valve, if they sell a billion Source Engine games, it doesn't matter at all. If the sales are right, it's a solid, safe engine. I guess I consider the Source Engine old because it's been around since at least '04, and none of the subtle changes have changed my mind about it. The environments have a "flat" feel to them, and I find the "gunplay" far less satisfying/immersive than in a few other engines. I've never had any real issues with any of the Call of Duty engines (on the PC side), and I think that engine has only gotten better over time. No one said you couldn't lol at me for liking Nazi Zombies. Why can't I prefer COD's engine?" @TheFrostedGamer: Why does it matter that the Source Engine is old? World At War doesn't use a new engine either "

COD: World at War was definitely a 4/5 game, but I think many websites downplay how great Nazi Zombies mode had became. I've also always felt Nazi Zombies was far better than Left 4 Dead (CoD Engine vs Source Engine). Anyway, just got finished playing in solo mode and I screenshot'd the end. Technically my best (on the Der Riese map) is Round 26 in solo mode, and Round 33 with 2 guys online (no cheats either mode).
Any other NZ fans would like to post their high scores, feel free.

This news story is starting to annoy me so much I might go buy a bunch of Valve games on Steam, then pirate Borderlands when it comes out. Gearbox of all companies taking jabs at Valve for being the only company that actually does anything positive for the PC Platform. UGH. UGH! Gearbox would sell out the PC Platform faster than Megan Fox could beat you at thumb wrestling." Are you seriously going to tell me that in an age where people were bitching, and STILL bitch about - WAHH WAHH WAHH - I don't have any physical media disk, I dont have a pretty box to look at, I dont know if I own any of my games wah wah wah - that people have now started bitching about how good a system Steam is, when taking into account their potential competition? Let's break this down here. Valve came up with the idea of steam to validate their own games. The system worked well enough that pusblishers, more and more, are starting to jump onboard because the system works, and by God it works pretty well. Fuck, Valve has sales, it was probably one of the first distribution models that I have ever seen to say, hey guys, 10% price drop this weekend only! 15% price drop if you pre-order now. That shit is just fucking awesome. So now we are thinking about penalizing companies who come up with a good idea, and a rock solid business model on the grounds that they did it first, best and now their competition needs to play catch up? Fuck that. If another company wants my business, here's an idea. Impress me. "
