They both use the Ep2 engine.

But it's been leaked that Garry will be switching over to the Left 4 Dead engine once it's released.

What improvements are in the left4dead engine?

Not sure, but he approved the rumor. It looks good though, and he'll probably change his mind once Ep3 is released.

they will update the SDK with that too when it's really that much of a engine update

Is there a way to force the player to be a specific player model for a specific map? Say I wanted all of the players on Team A to be dressed like Combine and all of Team B to be dressed like Anime toons. Is this possible?

Nobody wants to answer my question?

Well would it work if I included the files in my bsp but changed all the values so that each custom player model pointed toward the one I wanted them to be?

To change the playermodels for players could maybe work with a point_clientcommand and filters though i'm not really sure about it as i never used the point_clientcommand.
But if it works you could just annoy the players by firing the command "cl_playermodel <model>" so they'd use the model you want to on your maps but then have to reset it to what they like on the next map. Also they could change it again on your map, so you would have to keep firing this command once in a while.

There arn't a lot of improvement's but the ones worth noting are:
- Improved hair physics (See Zoey's fringe)
- Improved cloth physics
- Reworked particle system
- Full multi-core cpu support (Unlike OB)
- Improved flashlight (But such a resource hog 20+ FPS lss in high detail areas)

I reckon Garry must have his eye on the CPU support as a lot of HL2 Mods need it (including this one). I have a Quad core with Vista and it lags quite easily sometimes in areas of very little action because the engine doesn't know how to split the workload and just bottlenecks itself up.

About the hair of the anime girls disappearing when enlighten by the flashlight, it works fine with $alphatest instead of $translucent.
However the quality of the transparency is lowered.

no such thing as hair/cloth physic

it's called jigglebone and it has been there since orangebox

That will also fix the dynamic shadows, but since i havent found a way yet to allow half-transparency with $alphatest, i will stick with $translucent, as it looks shitty without half-transparency.
