Petrol is short for dog

While this thread has gone completly can I just point out how all computer game forums (or fora) are blighted by continued use of the word there instead of they're as an abbreviation for they are. Just a pet hate of mine that's all. Carry on about your business.

Anyone got a link to decent site which can define things like volumetric and dynamic and things like that so that people can keep up to speed with the discussion? Even I know dynamic but I was using it as an example.

OFF TOPIC ALERT - sorry That's bad enough but I believe that an american word for bum starts with an f and rhymes with nanny. Which over this side of the atlantic means something completely different.

"I agree with you W7RE, I think most people will opt for the Buy in-shop. What worries me is will these 'updates' include major patches? Are we going to have to subscribe in order to be on the same version of HL2 as the Steam users?" If you buy in shop you'll get all the updates of the steam...

Just out of asking what day of the week do games normally come out in the US and Canada? In the UK they tend to hit the shops on a Friday. The 30th is a Tuesday I think. Don't quote me on it though. p.s. I was about to respond to digital but this is a game forum and not a flame war. All i ask...

"Yeah but if thjey included that, theyd have to make Gordon stop every few hours to take a piss, eat, and sleep, too much realism = not a good thing " Stalker has a food and fatigure system, as does metal gear solid 3. I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle it. I think stalker does...

Ain't language barriers grand. English: Will you be able to keep weapons in the boot of a car? Is the engine simulated under the bonnet? Can you drive onto the pavement? American: Will you be able to keep weapons in the trunk of a car? Is the engine simulated under the hood? Can you drive...

The unreal2 particle movement system was quite good . I don't think it reacted to wind but areas of force ,presumbaly mapped to the damage radius on nades and blasts. I know a lot of people dismissed the game and I do agree that it's pretty naff but chuck a smoke grenade out and when the...

UK and I'd prefer a boxed version if and when it's available but providing the steam bandwidth holds up and there is hopefully an option to do a full game install rather than incremental as you play then I have no problems with purchasing over it steam.

Your concern for your international bretheren is most touching... ;-)

omfg tbh fooking gay n00b. You sound like a prat Digital, learn to use sentences and not to use gay as an insult and you may get a more dignified response. The question is NOT the release date, worldwide or otherwise. The question is wether retail boxed units will be distributed worldwide at...

I'm not saying I think 1 is the case at all but I had to put it in as a possibilty for the sake of completeness.

It's a design decision, not a technical limitation ;-)

I can see three reasons to keep the multiplayer quiet. 1. It's not finished yet (or not started yet) 2. It's completely new and they want to keep it away from rival devs. 3. It will impact on sales of other valve and/or sierra products. Personally I think it's a combination of 2 and 3...

If you enjoy multiplayer games and feel you may derive hours of enjoyment from a good multiplayer aspect of hl2 which you will be deprived of if it's a bit naff then it may well bother some people. Personally I'm more worried about the spike that just impaled my lower calf. The cow on top is...

If that's the case 7-9 uk time on the 30th september might see a bit of a spike in steam bandwidth. And every other country outside the US for that matter as and when they wake up. I guess my day off work to buy the boxed version won't happen. Just remote control my home pc to download as...

yep, it looks like the subscription plan will be for Valve games, not just HalfLife 2 games. Can't confirm that but if it includes tf2 and hl2 expansions then it seems that way to me.

"I think I will be going TRADITIONAL" Good, you found the right option for you, I am pleased. An example of another satisfied customer. I'm sure other people will find the option to suit them. Can we not have another active thread on this please.

"So is this to say that people who pay more upfront for the retail version will then be expect to pay additional fees for the extra content, or does the retail version come with access to extras?" The retail version comes with steam built into the back end and when you buy it you get a steam...
