My guess is the percentage it starts at is 'the size of everything downloaded so far'/'the size of everything available for download'. With each new release, the size of everything available changes. The starting percentage doesn't mean anything about progress; it's just more likely each new...
Wait a minute. Anyone who follows the hype is a hardcore gamer and WILL BUY HL2 NO MATTER WHAT. If a non-hardcore gamer cares about mp so much, they're not going to be fooled by Valve's prerelease silence: when it's released, they're going to find out. Duh. This BS about hiding basic facts of a...
Weren't you paying attention around the original e3 announcement? They clearly said in interviews that there was a mp and that it's a secret. This was before they even started on the source ports. The strange thing is how they won't confirm its existence any more. They won't even answer the...
Yes, I've gone over this before. The release timing of a AAA title hardly matters as long as it will still have significant shelf-presence through at least one holiday season (if not two, as in the case of Blizzard titles). So the question is, do you think HL2 would have fewer boxes on the...
I started this thread more for a discussion of what combat against other gun-wielding humans (humanoids) should be like, not what we can infer from the videos. My post (and its title) didn't make this clear.
Thing about COD, even in the huge battles, you still faced the very same enemies each time you played it through, so it wasn't really like it's this giant simulation of a battle, it's just showing you the rest of a battle that's pretty much non-interactive.
First, unlike some people, I can run the MOHPA demo near perfectly at high detail and 1280, so I don't hate it for that reason. Nor do I hate it because it's short. What really makes it a huge disappointment coming off the awesome videos is that the AI's can't hit shit. You can literally run...
2 years sounds good for HL3 if they really stick with modest upgrades to Source. I'll bet their non-technical departments have already been working on it for months. Either that, or they've started on another non-HL Source game to be completed relatively quickly. Or maybe they've commited those...
If they include something like hl1 mp, I won't care a wit. My spidey sense though indicates it's something more original. A quick DOD:S release would let me forgive the absence of anything new.
