I'd play, but I'm worried about the latest patch -- I haven't played any HL in a while (and when I used to play regularly it was all Counterstrike anyway) but from what I've heard the latest patch made the multiplayer WORSE, in an effort to "balance" the game for those with slow connections... Not having a slow connection, this is totally unacceptable. Has this been corrected?

Also, this would mean that I'd stop playing Diablo 2 for more than 10 minutes at once, and I don't know if I can do that.
