First time I saw a halflife 2 vid sound was the first thing struck me. Apparently the music is dynamic mixed and a track can be applied to an entitiy so as you get closer the music builds up. Sort of like Dune2 for those of you who had the pleasure. :D Obvioulsy that was very basic but halflife...
stop talking about grahpics the reason halflife still is being played after 6 years aint the graphics. People see a pretty new game and go wow this will be the best game ever. Its game play and plot that makes a great game and HalfLife2 positvily reeks of both. If you dont agree then go and play...

Also do you recon we will be able to pickup zombies or headcrabs? Or hang from the cealling or use it to jump by pointing it at the floor? Is it magnetic or can you pickup any thing with it?
As the guns are seperate entities in the game. Do you think it will be possible to
1) shoot them out of peoples hands?
2) Pull them out of peoples hands with the manipulator?
