I've had a little too many Half-Life 2 dreams to warrant a healthy psychological makeup. I remember one I had last year which was quite vivid. In my mind's eye it appeared as though I was playing the game, yet the graphics were as close to real life as possible. A rock formation one would likely...

I would imagine scripted events are not included within the pre-load files. Seeing as how they are an integral part of the Half-Life experience, I'd imagine there's plenty to be found within the sequel. Those could possibly render bugs. AI functionality could be an issue as well.

Yeah they said that just before the game was released they'd begin to pre-load. So if they're sticking to the same plan (never know with them) then this means good news for us!

Did you read this line below that? Please note that this release date is when we at Gameplay expect the game to be released and still subject to change.

I dunno...brick1.tga might soil the experience for me.

Wouldn't this be encouraging spoilers?

I was wondering about that too. Valve is going to want to solve as many problems with CS: Source on Steam (and in general) before considering shipping.

LOL...we should form a religion around this conundrum.

This Rodger guy seems like quite the douche.

That looks creepy. Why does it say at the top of the IE bar 'Hello, HalfLife2.net' when the url is www.half-life2.com? Photoshopped for sure.

I'm in the same boat, I have an AIW 9800 Pro. From what I've read it's hardware compatibility-related, so unfortunately no patch will allow us to use it with our cards. Like others in this thread have mentioned, however, there are hardly any current games that will be utilizing it to great...

I saw some video back when E3 was happening where Far Cry was running under PS 3.0. The one feature which was of most noticeable change from standard Far Cry graphics settings was the inclusion of displacement mapping, which I'm sure most of you have seen to great effect from the Unreal Engine 3...

The imposter should have said (through Gabe): '"Droppin' trow!!!' 'Oh I'll do it. Don't you tempt me. On Monday, mark my words, I'll drop trow!

The quote button can do it for you :)

What the hell does Gordon have to do in this game?!?

Good to be back. Time again for me to plunge head on with some more ridiculousy-hyped emotional investment towards this game! No, but honestly, I want this game as much as I did last year same time. I voted Citadel area btw. In Far Cry the most impressive shaders were definetely utilized in...

One of the graphical features of Half-Life 2's Source engine that I'm most excited about are the Direct X 9 shaders that Valve have implemented. In Far Cry I thought these were used to great effect, and wowed me considerably most times when I witnessed them in action. I'm sure Valve has some jaw...

You may not want to stay up this late, depending on where you live, but around midnight PST was when I finally managed to get the download started. Not saying this will work for others, but lower usage may be around this time. It finished probably within 20-25 minutes, running between 1 mb/sec...

I'm at 40%...goin at a steady 2.4mb/sec

ROFL...yeah guys, I'm pretty bored. Could use some Half-Life 2 right about now (as all others here).
