I heard MW2 had a cutting-edge matchmaking
and then charge people for 2 old maps and 3 new ones
There may be a chance when steam comes to Mac, as OSX and linux are both unix based
Thought it said "Put down your clothes".
Also set the price up to 70€ to compete with other high-end games.
[QUOTE=lemongrapes;21185880]There may be a chance when steam comes to Mac, as OSX and linux are both unix based[/QUOTE] Of all the posts, this is the one that's probably the most stupid. I think you people misunderstand the difference between a server and a client. The issue here is that a huge mod like Garry's Mod, has no dedicated server for Linux. Which is bad. GoldenEye: Source, a mod that most of you probably never heard of, has a dedicated Linux server. Why? Because Linux servers have higher maintainability and availability. And thus are cheaper. Some gamehosts even charge more for Windows. Automatic updating, automated tasks, embedded virtual infrastructure, relational file-system, scalability, load balancing for 3rd party applications? You can just forget about all that with Windows Server 2003. Ever wonder why on some busy servers it takes a long time for you to grab some obscure prop from DoD:S that no one used before? Windows has no relational file-system, that's why. It takes longer to find a file. That also means more crashes. I have a Garry's Mod server myself, and I'd be very happy if there was a Linux dedicated server available. I had to install Windows in a VM just for Garry's Mod, which is ridiculous.
Honestly, I don't think the crashes are the fault of the OS. I think the crashes are due to the fact that GMod is an unstable piece of software, & it will be on Mac, Linux, or any other operating system. With that said.. there's plenty of reasons for Linux servers, Garry has heard them all by now, and evidently none of the reasons really matter to him. He doesn't care.
He's busy playing football
Wow I thought everyone got used to the fact he's not going to. [editline]09:42AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Koos P;21186077]GoldenEye: Source, a mod that most of you probably never heard of[/QUOTE] lol.

Every benchmark I've seen says Windows servers are faster. There's a long-running notion that Linux servers are more likely to have a higher uptime% , but I can't find any source to confirm this. Frankly, my bullshit meter is starting to move Security is probably better in Linux & that's why people should choose it, but I'm skeptical of any other claims. Just like I'm sick of "Well, Mac is better for video & photo editing" - Oh, really? Give me some fucking evidence of that

I don't even see why he won't; isn't linux bins free to do? I mean; from a business standpoint if that's free to do and gets me more profits I would totally do it.
