not sure if it will play on solaris, sound like they have no idea.
Which means they are guessing, I can Guess also!
which also means that they guessing about any possible linux port.
I would agree its not a bad guess, But only a guess...
After this last weeks MSblaster fiasco more people will be tempted by linux,
I think that the futre for linux gaming is positive.
BUT I'M ONLY GUESSING!!!!

did you read the link i posted above?
the guy was asking for ppl to gather signatures for a linux client for halflife1 and to check the possibility of a halflife2 port of a game that has the realase date anounced and not one word yet about the linux port.

My question is, if they didnt provide a halflife 1 version to linux, that its based on quake 1 a game with almost 8 years, ever since, what do you think are their concern about releasing an halflife 2 port ?
To scare most its the fact that Halflife2 its based on a new engine.

And about the solaris thing, yeah sure, if they even dont want to support the linux community they will release a solaris version
just think about, makes no sense, atmost you can run the game server side in solaris, with linux compatibility. About the opengl or directx throught winex just forget it
