Because unless Valve was literally retarded, EA would have no possible way of doing that. EA is acting as a distributor for SOME of Valve's content. They don't own Valve, they aren't funding Valve, they aren't distrubitnig enough of Valve's content to threaten them and they can't buy Valve...

You have that backwards; Valve is self-publishing and self funded. All EA is doing is things like compilations and console ports. Valve's #1 source of income is still going to be from the things they publish themselves. Without EA, Valve is out of a distributer for HL2 console and of...

And your point is? Like I said, did we really need another thread about this? The one you linked is still working perfectly. Oh, and don't forget about http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=86872 http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=86883 This is the FOURTH thread...

Do we really need another thread about this?

EA CAN NOT, I repeat, can NOT take over Valve through anything but Valve selling the company directly to EA. Valve was NOT purchased by EA in this deal. Valve is SELF-FUNDED. Valve is a privately owned company which means EA can't buy 51% of it's stock (Since Valve has no stock) to take...

Unless Valve was retarded with the contract they signed, EA will not be able to do jack shit about ANYTHING, because Valve is SELF-FUNDED and a PRIVATELY OWNED COMPANY. That means EA has no monetary claim to Valve, and will NEVER have a monetary claim to Valve, unless Valve decides to sell out...

Last I heard (From that fan who got a tour of Valve and saw the latest TF2 artowrk), Valve was moving away from the "WW2 realism" area and moving a bit back towards oldschool TFC style. (Probably due to the proliferation of WW2 stuff).

Been a few weeks since I've read that website. "Game's we made" should have been "Game's we've contributed to." Hence while I earlier mentioned I was talking about the "games we have worked on" section. My apologies. EDIT: What in the name of Satan's chedder? Your name really messes up the...

Say what? Gearbox made Opposing Force. The new deathmatch maps in Op4 were farmed out to the top level designers in the industry at the time, but that also includes people from Epic as well as Ritual and a few other companies. The thing you need to realize about their little "games we have...

What are you talking about? There's been several fan patches for Bloodlines.

Other than Valve stuff (Half-Life 2, Half-Life: Source, CS: Souce, DoD: Source) here are all the retail products currently being made for the source engine. Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines - First Person RPG based on White-Wolf's V:tM franchise. Made by Trokia (Now defunct), and is being...

Aye, it was pretty much Half-Life with CS weapons and was a decent distraction while waiting for Half-Life 2 to come out. Well worth the 1.50 I paid for it. :) (Go go back catalog!) I mean, hell, it was better than Condition Zero. :) Anywho, I beat Half-Life 2 in 11 hours ($4.50 an...

If it was, then I never noticed in the past seven years, even when I double and triple checked in this thread. :) Heck, I'll check again just to make sure. Nope, not there.

Half-Life had game music too; matter of fact, Half-Life 2 borrows quite a few tracks from Half-Life 1.

I don't think you realize quite what a nuclear blast does; A nuke isn't going to set off a nuclear reactor; it'll destroy it and spread any nuclear material that isn't vaporized out with the rest of the material that the nuke just made radioactive. If a blast is hot enough to destroy the...

Just did a fresh install of my original copy of Half-Life (Purchased in Novemeber of '98) and it states "Ph.D., MIT, Theoretical Physics" in the titles.txt in the original valve.pak file. Likewise, in the manual that came with that copy, there is no mention of Freeman's level of education at...

What the hell are you talking about? Gabe said "let me remind this is not scripted, your allies and decided when to move etc. etc. etc." during the fight on the streets with the Combine. The door kicking part was a different video entirely.

Likewise, if a nuclear explosion hits another nuclear bomb; it just blows it up; it won't set off a chain reaction of nukes. Plus it wouldn't be that hard to come up with a cheesy McGuffin like Gordon's suit getting upgraded with Combine anti-radiation technology or something.

I just doubled checked the HL1 manual and there is no mention of an "Alex Kleiner" in the letter. Just "Dr. Kleiner" You mean Walter BENNET, a character made up by the Planet Half-Life staff? Can't really say one way or another on that, Samon. From all appearances the Gman is referring to...

IMO, Gman was probably just messing with Gordon, as smug, superpowerful manipulators are want to do. Leaving Gordon in stasis with Alyx about to be hit with a reactor explosion, not to mention who knows what else on the streets below, shows how much the Gman pulls the strings. It makes it...
