I wonder when this will happen?

Probably the next class update. I wasn't aware L4D was DX9 only, though. I hope they update HL2, ep1 and CSS soon aswell ^^

I was undecided whether to place this topic in the rumour mill or the tf2 section you know.

Any more news on this Met?
And which is better? The current TF2 engine or the L4D engine (may be a stupid question but I don't know about either so, don't call me a stupid moron like my bro does when I ask him something I don't know about)

The L4D engine. Valve's games don't branch the engine, tehy just iterate. The L4D engine is the TF2 engine+extra stuff.

extra stuff? as in more hd organs, body parts etc?

There's lots of things, extra stuff just means the changes between them. Like the differences between HL2 and TF2 engine.

Big question still looms: when?

Valve time - noone knows

Next year sometime when they next do the TF2 update probably...

This would be a good idea for an optional update (if thats possible) just to stop the angry ppl that have to run on DX2 DX8.

I highly doubt it would be optional. Though the whole steam cloud would just own still

I read somewhere, I think it was the last TF2blog, that they are updating it, but not all the updates, so youstill need the same DX version.
