    Favorite in game cutscene......

    I liked the move in red alert where the president was making a announcement from his secret hidden base of operations, then one of the soldiers in the background who was holding up canvas or something to block off the background drops it and you see a canadian flag.

    Police Game?

    There should be a super realistic cop game where in the first few levels you have to go through police schooling. That level lasts a few years. Real Time. Yet to keep it fresh, when you (your character) goes home every night to his wife and 2 screaming children, he becomes angry and...

    Would you like something changed in HL:S?

    The levels in half life 2 look huge. Perhaps they can redo the levels in half life 1 so you dont have to load every 30 seconds *cough*tram ride*cough*. You could probably do the intro maps in to 2 or 3 instead of 8 or more like in the original half life, and all it would take is some copying...

    Upgrading Opinions

    It would probably be better to wait until christmas before making a major upgrade, because the next gen graphics cards will be out by then and you could probably snag a descent this-gen gfx card cheap. However, half life 2 will be out by then (god i hope so), so if you want to see it in all...

    Maintained continuity??

    In half life 2, sleep actually becomes a problem. Gordon has to use his secret weapon (which has some amazing dx9 effects) to combat the problem.

    Half-Life 2 the movie

    Breen is the guy on the monitors in the e3 2004 videos. He says "welcome to city 17..." and all that stuff in the first part of the movie.

    The VALVe appreciation thread

    Yeah, I payed for half life, and after years and years of free patches and support, as well as mod communities (that are helped by valve) that supply me with countless hours of multiplayer goodness, I figure valve better give me half life 2. After all the things ive done for them, I can't...

    500MB+ of textures!

    It would be an even worse case scenario if video memory + system memory < Texture size. Loading textures in realtime from you swap file = :eek:

    500MB+ of textures!

    What I am saying is that it is not possible for 128 meg cards to have as high a texture detail as 256 meg cards (because 256 meg cards can hold double the textures). If anything, the 128 meg cards will probably outperform the 256 ones because they have a few extra compressed textures which is...

    500MB+ of textures!

    Ultra high/high/med/low refer to the texture details. In ultra high quality, no texture is compressed. In high, only specular and diffuse are compressed. Medium compresses normal maps, specular, and diffuse are compressed. In low, everything is compressed. The reason behind this is the...

    id Software talks DOOM 3 and beyond (PC)

    I wish i had a video card that could play doom 3 at that res :D. Is it just me or does that thing look terrible. I know its harder to notice in real time, but its head isnt smooth, eyes look terrible, theres something weird about the neck, and the fingers also suck. I still think the...
