I believe it had to do something with a mob like game. Anyways, there were multiple positions that one needed to play. Read *one* needed to play. For example, in the sniper mission part of the job, you knock off some bloke guarding a door 10 minutes into playtime. The next step where you might be a thief sneaking into the building, 10 minutes into the game, the bloke guarding the door is sniped, via you before hand.I have no idea if that's what this Crossplay means, but hey, it's a guess.

Far too many dickheads out there ruining it for the rest of us. Would rather play a decent single player any day. Meh, it looks quite cool but I hate online games.

It does indeed describe what MMO's really are except for the 'massive' part. Testdrive Unlimited has tried to do it and it sort of works there.And co-op seems to fit as well, but I don't see how they can make this concept 'fun' if instead as a co-op you get an extra human-controlled enemy. Imagine playing on 'easy' and then having the kind of no-life near-aimbotter as your opponent .... lots of fun ... not!Never mind it probably means there's no way you can deactivate Steam this time.

You are bringing all this crap into Steam, including CSS Dynamic Weapon pricing (Which was a failure) and you might of forgotten this, but Half-Life was rated 'The Best Game Ever' and you can't even be fuc*ed to continue it.This just pisses me off... and advertisement in CSS and 1.6 isn't their best move yet... You know why this pisses me off….
