Actually automatic weapons arent entirely illegal in the US, there are a few "class C" states where(after buttloads of background checks, etc) you can legally own and use automatic firearms(not any, but some), like nevada, wyoming or alaska maybe, i dont know the rest.
and i dont know if any...
i agree, i thought xen was pretty cool. maybe not the best parts of the game, but it was a nice break, and was pretty interesting. maybe thats just me though
normally i like realism more than "fun"(Realism is fun usually), but i think in HL2's case having every weapon is much better:
1. the game isnt a realism game(fighting wise), so dont try to make it one.
2. like someone else already said, if you are limited in your weapon capacities, you will...
you will not have to subscribe to steam to get anything. You might have to order things like the high-res THROUGH steam, simply because it isnt worth it to package a $10 expansion, but it is worth it to uploaded it to a server. The main reason VALVe is doing the subscriber plan is that since...
I. Sorry, just a peeve of mine. I was actually referring to the information, bink videos, and screenshots, yes. I agree that a more public effort would indeed be nice, T'm just not sure that they have the resources at this point. Now they have begun releasing info in mags though, so things are...
Well, the "mind entrenched in skepticism and hate" is not meant to be taken literally, to be frankly honest its only purpose is as a hyperbole that emphasizes the statement I made about you "reading too much into this"
One important thing: I did not say sons of bitches. I said bitches. the...
The hypothetical situation I was painting started off with VALVe not rehashing the original Half-Life, therefore the sequel would not have had such high expectations and would have ended up rushed as well, or just a lower-level product. From a purely business standpoint, destroying 1-2 years...
You missed the entire point of Birdwell's statement. They aren't working on the whole game at one time!
let me requote your quote:
So last year, when gabe supposedly said "We are starting to playtest now" or whatever(Ive never actually seen where he said it), they were quite possibly starting...
that is sooo pimp. a real man always has eating involved; laziness and time management are key. i always have to set up arrow keys and the keypad as stuff when im eating(Usually when im playing gta3) im gonna have to come up with some eating config( that works better for me, that would be hard...
maybe because you cant actually see the normal bullets?
the reason the tracers *look* slower is because your vision blends together the light over a certain distance/period of time, since it cannot actually pinpoint each individual instance. the light also "hangs" in the air for a bit, due...
im pretty sure this was a chinese magazine....or maybe it was the SKS magazine im thinking about(they werent my guns).....hmm. I'll refresh my memory on saturday then.
heh, put me down all you want, people learn better when they are wrong and get corrected than when they are luckily right(or...
dredg is freakin awesome. buy their album now. everyone.
hmm. twice (the second time i will speak of, the first was pretty saucy). ok, so once in spanish class (5th, after lunch) near the end, i was just sitting in my desk in the middle of the room, at room temperature (75-77 Fahrenheit, id...
lol, i realize that. what i was getting at was more that those arent mere rpgs like in hl1(they are missiles that are used at ranges of 3 miles to shoot down armored helicopters, not grenades on sticks), and even in hl1 you only picked up one at a time, with a max of like 5.
I also doubt...
taking individual bullets out of a clip is less realistic that picking the whole thing up . . . you will NEVER EVER stop and pick up a clip, shake three rounds out, and put them in your current clip. you would either grab the whole damn thing, or you wouldn't touch it.
what i wouldnt mind...
i still fail to see how from a gameplay standpoint it would be logical or balanced to pick up 10 stinger missiles in one unit.
note, since the 10 is next to the image, that means basically(in hl1 terms) you walked over a "pack" of missiles, and got ten of them at once. if you got 30...
you could zip up the gcf file into several .rar's and put them on cds
the ATI coupon probably has some key-code or something on it? something you could type in and that would count as a pre-order, so you could start preloading.
if it is actually a real word and not some horrendous typo, my guess would be german.
this is good though, but i have all the good news i need with gabe's constant re-affirming that the game will ship in summer 2004. (note, not that the release date is summer 2004, but that the game will...
