I woke up one morning and read Gamespot's front page, just like always, and to my surprise there was a "HL2 Coming Sept 2003!" news item. I've been dying to play since then. -UnmarkedOne

Haha. Top left for the win. -UnmarkedOne

Same here. Since HL1 I've considered Valve a top-notch company. The delays/problems getting the game out haven't phased me at all and I assumed (and now know) that it'd all be worthwhile. They're a badass group of people working hard to bring us exactly what we want to see, and I'd give anything...

Dunno if anyone mentioned it yet, but that part in HL when you climb the cliffside, after you take down the chopper, you climb up to a vent at the very top. When you look in the vent, a headcrab jumps right in your face, and im proud to say that that trick got me two different times in that I...

It depends entirely on whether what you're recording is intended to be sold. For example, if you record a popular song on a cassette, you can listen to it any time, just like if you bought that artist's CD/cassette. Problem being, you get the product for free(not physical necessarily, but they...

Hahaha, that's great. The G-Man at the bottom, too, almost missed him. The pic is pure gold, nice work! And to the people who didn't understand Sp00ky's thread title and assumed he didn't know when Thanksgiving was... shame shame. -UnmarkedOne

He's right. If you've already got a nice video card, you're all set. If not, for 400 dollars you can easily get a Radeon 9800 pro (for less than 200) and another half-gig of RAM. With those two components, you'll be able to run Half-Life 2 and higher settings and a smooth framerate all the way...

And I can't believe that you think pirating is NOT stealing. If there was no money loss, no damage to the company, pirating (and music downloading) wouldn't be illegal. "Material loss" is not the issue here. It costs, what, less than a couple bucks to print out a game box, manual, and CDs...

This has been discussed innumerable times, and we have confirmation from Valve that: A) The 'bouncy' physics in CS:S are NOT a bug and will remain, at least for the time being. B) The physics were designed that way, so that you couldn't climb physical objects, get stuck between two of...

Okay, it's become quite apparent that you don't know how many digits are in "1.5 million"... In one of your previous posts, you stated: First off, 200,000 copies is only a fifth of a million. We're looking at 1,500,000 copies already preordered in the U.S., so when I asking about whether you...

Are you talking about PC-version preorders? Because at present, they've already topped 1.5-million preorders for the Xbox version of Halo 2 (source = http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/halo2/news_6110893.html). As for the high-end PC argument, that's why Valve chose to aim for more moderate...

In the "Info From Valve" thread, I believe one of the employees specifies four or five vehicles, but doesn't say what they are (we only know two so far). The only clue we were given was that there weren't any air vehics. -UnmarkedOne

They had to do a fair amount of troubleshooting and probably re-positioned some enemies and added some more physicalized objects. I think they also did some of the audio (voices in HL were really grainy and low-qual compared to today's games). To get all that work and a shot at replaying the...

It depends on the timescale, I suppose. See, initially, with 1.5 million preorders already, Halo 2 is going to kick the crap out of Half-Life 2. Over time, however, when Half-Life 2 comes out for XBox next year, it's quickly going to catch up, and has the possibility of selling even more copies...

It's been stated by Valve that the HL2 single-player portion won't feature any surfaces that are capable of reflecting Gordon, but they also said it would be cake to drop a real mirror into a level/mod of your own. -UnmarkedOne

:D -UnmarkedOne

I'm looking forward to singleplayer AND the mods, but much more the SP than the mods. Depending on what all can be done with Source (relatively easily), I'm planning to work on a short mod myself, so I won't be the least bit disappointed when I finish SP, because there will be much more to enjoy...

ROFL, that's awesome dude, nice work. "NOT VIVENDI", that's my favorite frame. The dancing cow too, perfect. -UnmarkedOne

Confusing indeed! Rioting in the streets, storefronts being vandalized, a massive angry mob outside Vivendi's headquarters! No, dude, this is a video game. The official word from Valve/VU, as of a few days ago, was that if the retail packages were being sold early, Valve would unlock the game...

Yet another reason to go with Steam rather than retail. If this does actually happen and Valve, for example, unlocks HL2 three days early, only a handful of retail buyers will be lucky enough to get a copy at that time. The rest will have to wait until the store they pre-ordered at gets their...
