Half-Life patch patched

A patch for the recent Half-Life patch is now available, fixing a number of bugs and potential exploits, including the ability for players to take advantage of the new net code by faking lag, effectively entering Matrix style "bullet time" and letting them move and fire while their attacker sees them frozen solid. You can grab the patch in two flavours - a small patch for people who upgraded to the patch this patch is patching, and a big patch for people who didn't bother and are still running an earlier version of the game.
