Actually, what he's asking in the thread title is if Steam will dominate his PC from the moment he installs HL1. Strange, I thought it was Microsoft who were the abusers of the public's PC's, not Valve...
I don't think the maps will be bigger and aside from the physics, that's not really anything new, except possible built-in plots that can make it more interesting. But this isn't World of Half-Life, so the outcomes of matches won't have any impact on some greater story. You're just awarded with...
Team energy supply drainer.
This seems to be worth checking out. But what's going to make it better than UT2004 assault, other than that many like HL2's engine better? I've a feeling just the physgun won't be a big enough element to make this anything special.
You can stop waiting for that, since the developers of The Specialists are attention-seeking and ungrateful whiny bastards. They are having a jolly good time on their forums flaming their own community, stating that all fans should damn well be content with their 2.1 version for HL1. They don't...
I agree with the post before this one. The good elements should be kept, but your team shouldn't be afraid of altering alot of things you thought were pretty bad. We're not just looking at a remake of PD, GBA style, are we?
For all flame-happy posters who might see this, this is a constructive...
Are forums no longer to be used as discussion and leading arguments and merely for telling others what you're doing and what you [dis]like? That's like saying you're childish for throwing snowballs in a snowball battle. And I'm quite sure that just because I've grown up, it doesn't mean there no...
I had some real problems jamming the keyboard into the controller slot, though. And did you try that secret code, "G-Man are Dad"? Boy, did that give me a zap. Who knew the SNES used such high amounts of watts? Was at intensive care for a month! But it totally was worth it, I never imagined HL2...
They never stated they were purely speaking about the games' technical advantages. Maybe someone likes the Ferrari better, because, well, he's got alot of control over it and the engine doesn't sound meaky at lower speeds, while the BMW sounds like you're driving a Goddamn model car when it's...
OFN. Front page material, even. Great Grizzly, since you didn't notice that the HL2.net staff put up a newspost about this on the front page, don't expect people to read this, even if it were to be stickied.
Right, someone should say this: Combine Hybrid, don't post about things like this. You should be able to figure out by yourself that almost any non-mainstream gamer would think they are making ridiculously stupid comments(the Halo 2 guy being the worst one, but that's probably because it's so...
In reply to Gizzmo's post(edit):
Well the question is, do you want the mainstream to give their money to Bungie/Microsoft or VALVe(/VUG)? That's why this kind of stuff is important for the industry, although this particular case doesn't matter since their site is, no matter what they think, not...
Sie heil, actually.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look like G-Man's dramatically pointing forward, urging the car to reach greater speeds so that he may reach his destination in the desolate world they are in.
I find I'm more able of understanding how things will react to me throwing them and such since playing Half-Life 2. I've surprised myself a number of times, really was pretty funny when I loosely threw a glass so that it bounced with the upper edge and landed standing right up, without getting a...
