    For all those with HL2 warez...

    Let's see--over $40,000,000 in development costs. (That was around a year ago, so probably at least another million on that.) Now, bronze costs $50. So... they'd have to sell approximately one million copies to break even. Except WAIT, that's not true. Because we're ignoring Vivendi...

    For all those with HL2 warez...

    Setting a firewall to block everything? Wouldn't it be easier to just unplug the cable?

    Is anyone else just not that excited about HL2DM?

    Agree with title. Just not that exciting. Those of you enjoying it, feel free to continue. I'll play something I like. (Natural Selection)

    I hope we get some more levels...not from modders

    I would expect the contest winners to become official maps. Probably in the contest rules.

    1280x1024 (LCD) setting

    stutters = loss of performance. Jimmo, turn on vsync. That's called tearing.

    Anyone else disappointed with multiplayer?

    This is why DM isn't a very popular gameplay mode (in general) right now. It's just not that fun. It's also why so many people said "who cares if they give us HL2DM".

    wall strafe bug - why did they keep it?

    Bunny hopping isn't just jumping repeatedly. It's jumping AND STRAFING in such a manner as to increase your speed astromomically. (To the point it looks like hacking if you don't know what's going on.) This is sometimes also referred to as "strafe jumping".

    Original Alyx vs. Final Alyx

    I suspect you're more likely looking at some fan-made image.

    What is the surprise?

    From an Amazon "review" of HL2 before it came out.

    Breakable Walls

    Having played RF and RFII, the destructible walls were limited and added almost nothing to gameplay. The physics in HL2 added far more to open gameplay.

    Has anyone e-mailed Valve...

    Never ask this question again. Any time you think, "Has anyone emailed Valve about...?" the answer is, "Yes -- about a million times." The correct question is, "Has anyone posted an answer from Vavle about ....?" If no one has, go ahead and ask them again. :)

    will it all end with HL3 (dont read if not finished game)

    They said it won't take another 5 years for hl3. :)

    Best settings

    No. If you have a 120 MHz refresh and your computer is managing only 15 frames per second, vsync is not limiting you at all. So, turning off vsync MAY improve your FPS. Filtering is a method of making the textures scale appropriately with distance. Again, higher is better, but it'll cost...

    How the hell do I get out of the first stage?

    Look for an alley. You may have to climb over a fence to get to it. Or up a fire escape. [vaguely remembers level]

    Best settings

    Short version: Antialiasing removes jaggies. Turn it up as high as your graphics card can handle. (Turning it higher will lower your framerate.) Vertical sync makes the monitor refresh sync with the redraw of the scene. Turning it off may give higher framerate but you may notice...
