I'm thinking it will be Half-Life 2 deathmatch.
At least I hope it is! I was really ticked when they said there would be no HL2 deathmatch multiplayer.
Speculate as to what you think the multiplayer "surprise" wil be with HL2.

Although I think CSS is pretty good, in fact, if it was released and I hacdn't played CS before I would've loved it. But it's just CS 1.6 with new graphics, the gameplay is still the same... and for a game that has been so long awaited to have that as the only multiplayer aspect is very dissapointing.

it kinda makes sense though that css is what they chose. It's not like NS, DoD, TFC won't come out, but by name recognition CS will win.
*shrugs* i ope they have more options, i'm not sure how long i could stand to play cs, especially with world of warcraft comming out.

If it were TF2 (or even a TF variant) they wouldn't have been able to keep the news from getting leaked, I think. Too much to hope for.
If it's a new version of ricochet I'm going to firebomb their offices.

I don't think there's any chance it will be TF2. TF2 is marketable as its own game, whereas Half-Life 2 Deathmatch isn't. They'd be losing hundreds of millions in profits if they just handed TF2 out.
Doubt it, as it mentions that it will likely only be one map at first. Whereas, in multiplayer coop there wouldn't be a set amout of maps, it would merely be the duration of the game.
There was some mention of the physics cannon, which makes it seem a bit odd to be just co-op missions.
I'm nearly positive it's deathmatch for HL2, but I'm wondering just how good it will be... if they hacked it together at the last minute (which it seems like they did) then I don't imagine it being too great...but if they have been working at it for a while and just kept it under wraps as a surprise then it could be pretty amazing. It seems like it was a response to the anger over cs source being the only multiplayer (aside from dod source/hl source, but those don't really count) hence why they only have one map for it.

Hence the name Counter-Strike: Source and not Counter-Strike 2
That's the reason why CS has kept on; its gameplay is awesome. No one plays 1.6 for the graphics...

I'm still wondering if any of the mods that come out for HL2 will be quality mods. Considering just how many mods came out for Half-Life, only one (or two depending on how you look at it) were actually half decent.
The only mods I liked were Counter-strike, Day of Defeat, and Natural Selection... then again those three mods were my favorite mods for ANY GAME.
