Science & Industry 0.97b Half-Life Mod Release

An anonymous reader writes "Science & Industry, a teamplay mod for Half-Life, has been updated. S&I is one of the oldest Half-Life mods: it was there at the first Valve mod expo back in 1999, but it hadn't been updated since 2001! A new version is finally being released today. Science and Industry is a mod in which players assume the role of Security Officers in one of two rival corporations striving for domination in the cutthroat world of chemical and weapons research and development. Learn more about the mod on its website. This new version works for both WON and Steam versions of Half-Life. For a full list of changes, either check the Science & Industry website, or this detailed forum thread."

Re:Meh!

At best, there were 4 to 6 servers online at any given time, with no more then 2 or 3 players on each

Meh, I like the small servers (as long as their is always people playing. That way I'm able to build a tight knit of friends.

Thats why I like cube, for more of the social than the gameplay

Just my two cents

Testament to a well done game?

I think that since mods for this game are still being updated/released, it's a good way of telling Valve that the gaming community likes what they've done.

In a similar way that /. uses the Quake rocket launcher for it's game post icon.

Keep showing them what we like, and maybe one day they'll really listen and not bring out as bad a game as Dikitana.

Re:so whereis the Linux or Freebsd port ?

[Anonymous Coward]

The fact that valve did not release a linux or freebsd port and it has not affected them tells more of the linux and freebsd community then valve. I do not believe they will have any problems making a ton of scratch from hl2 when it comes out.
