H-L 2 'For Dummies' book

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/H-L 2 'For Dummies' book

I just came across this and was immediately taken aback as I looked at the content:

Half Life 2 Mods For Dummies
http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesTitle/productCd-0470096314.html

334 Pages - so hardly a small book.

How cool would it be to build your own levels and customized weapons for Half-Life 2? This book will get you ready to mod so you can enjoy the ultimate gaming experience. You'll find out how to create your own maps, strategically place high-tech military equipment, and modify your levels for smoother play.

I was genuinely surprised that this is being sold as a book - there must be a market for this type of book for a publisher to be printing them.

'Dummies guide to Puki', I'd buy that.

Imagine how thick it would have to be.

Have you tried to mod HL2? It's not THAT easy!

...It's GOT to be the same or easier than HL1 was to mod. What's hard about modding for HL2, guys? I personally haven't
tried to yet, but the tools are much better this time around, so I can't see it being harder.

Well, I kind of thought the internet would be dripping with how to mod H-L 2 - which is why I am surprised someone has published a book on it.
