No Multiplayer Version (Score 1)

I don't get it. Every single review is missing the fact that this is the first Half-Life-themed game to not have a multiplayer version. The original Half-Life, BlueShift and Opposing Force all had online versions. I repeat...there is no Half-Life 2 online game. None. There is a new Counter-Strike, but no Half-Life 2 multiplayer game. This game shipped a year late and they couldn't include this. Valve does not mention this obvious oversight anywhere on their site.
