Fire doesn't have to have heat distortion. Not all fires are hot enough to cause an abrupt enough change in the refraction angle of air. Considering games like Brute Force have shader effects like that (and a fairly similar, but exagerrated effect exists with the Strider cannon-thing) it...

Okay...well my post is more relevant than the one above...plus...it has paragraphs! Straight from the manual: Parts relevent to this thread have been bolded...noteworthy is the fact that it says he's unmarried and that he has no dependents. That only means he's not legally bound to a...

...the bargain bin. I'm sure the NPCs have a decently varied idle conversation to go around. If they can yell "Strider!", run around with decent AI and make use of team based tactics...I would hope they talk with eachother. Since it happened in HL1 with the basic pre-event/post-event...

It's a good thing those glasses give you depth of vision...I mean...I could never tell how far away soldiers were in Half-Life...despite the dampening of sounds and change of size when they moved further away. It's just amazing how the glasses can show 3D games in 3D! ...oh wait. :hmph:

My mapping skills are a bit rusty, and this has pretty much already been answered...but perhaps someone would like more information: The node graph is a file that accompanies a map which shows the AI how to perform in specific areas, which needs to be compiled only once and is done at...

Go run out there and get killed by that strider...Or we'll all die! ...oh wait.

I think my HL manual is just a picture of something (looks like fungi growth, heh - it actually looks kind of familiar, I just can't place it at the moment), and Half-Life with the lambda symbol encased in a circle. I think, the manipulator as a word will represent HL2 (many puns about...

I'd have to say the crowbar was a great symbol for Half-Life because other FPS generally relied on either: A knife, a chainsaw or a bodily melee attack [kick, punch]. Half-Life is the first game I ever played with such a unique melee weapon. The uniqueness of the manipulator will probably...

Well, taking an idea from Ernest saves Halloween (or something): The answer is milk...milk or love....I forget... Of course, maybe Gordon is related more to Sonic than to Mario, so maybe you have to hit him 8 times...that way Dr. Robotnik detaches from the strider legs and flies off...to meet...

"They're waiting for you...Gordie, in the test cham-[/Walter breaks out in a fit of laughter at how ridiculous it would be to have a main character named 'Gordie']" Gordie/Gordy sounds like a pet name for someone named Gordon...or a type of gourd or something :p. Halflife 14: During the...

I vote pretty bad, but only from the mild dishonesty standpoint around September 30th and the hacking, and the minor speculation over an April release. Not based on the game or personal customer service...since they've divulged little of the actual story, and personal emails are answered...

I'm sure nothing will top the manipulator, but there's probably some alien guns that are so awesome we can't comprehend them until we've played the game. Still hoping for a decent flame thrower though...Starting fires in buildings and lighting combine on fire would never be so much fun...

Well, aside from the manipulator (which we all know and love)...I'm looking forward to a flamethrower - there's got to be one! In one of the e-mails I sent I asked how you could start fires, and Rick assured me there's numerous ways. Aside from explosions and the flare gun...I think a flame...

That's why you need both...to obtain all the HL2 content known to mankind - outside of Valve. To hoard it on your computer like some kind of demonic chimpmunk holding the acorns of Eternal Halflife Damnation between his evil little puffed-up cheeks. Or is it squirrels that hoard nuts...I forget...

Actually I tried to post it once, but my internet sucks, so I had to do it again. ...I think it was actually better the first time but I was too late to copy it after I pressed submit...so it's gone to that corrupted forum post place in the sky. ...it does make sense though, doesn't it...

Well, now we know that if it's him he has to post, which means the real Marc would post. Which means we know that he knows what we think he'll post. That way he'll have to not reply - knowing this we know he'll have to reply to prove he's not himself. Thus proving that he would have to be...

Also checking in on the cool weapons page: -wouldn't it be safe to assume the crossbow is the returning sniper rifle variant (guranteed there are larger levels now, and with the addition of proper physics the bolts are probably a bit harder to aim). You could also, feasibly, add a picture of...

Considering it's not true...no. Although, I suppose Valve could be following false rumors too, so then it could be true for them. I'm going to throw my vote into the "EE? What EE?" pot.

I just hope the ragdolls don't work like Deus Ex 2 or Thief 3 (and sortof like FarCry, but FarCry is better) with the ragdolls - based on what I've seen they work pretty good though. In those games the bodies have such unnatural death posistions...especially Thief: Deadly Shadows. Bah, you...

Heh, that one guy is right, you can change your steam language, and aside from a bit of downloading, you can play HL in any language you want (if you want to change it back from german in particular, Options (maybe it was Settings...I forget :p ) becomes Einstellungen, and Languages becomes...
