For Broken Escape ep1, can I mount ep 2 instead?

Post by jumpingjacks »

Really want to give broken escape a go with a friend of mine - but we're in the situation I have ep1 and ep2 and my friend only has ep2... Does episode 2 not cover all the new changes in engine etc that are needed? Really want to try it. Any help at all would be appreciated, apologies if its a well warn question.

since episode 2 requires the content from episode 1 mounting it should be no problem, if he faces the mountfilesystem error tough then he needs to get episode 1 first.

Nope, he needs to get EP1 first, EP1 has content not present in EP2. Mounting games is used only to access and utilize content from them, not the code nor the engine.
Apparently, Valve can't make games beyond the number 2.
I think the only time we'll get a Source SDK code update is when it starts having purchasable hats integrated, i.e. hatconomy.

Please do not make assumptions you are not knowledgeable enough to make - that just backfires on yourself.
