No problem Nacho :) Thanks for the smiley! Btw, can you edit your quotes in your last post for me. I did not find them in my posts and do not remember saying them. Thanks :)

You are the one who called BloodMario a fanboy. The thread began with what appears to be an incorrect claim (that 16bit and 24bit percision are "indistinguishable") and a lot of people slamming Valve without even having proper benchmarks or screenshots. BloodMario questioned the consipracy...

What is the command to enable grabbing organic material like people? :)

The only fanboy I see is the one saying, "it's a bit shocking that valve didn't even bother to do any basic optimisation for Nvidia cards". The facts are they spent more time optimizing for nVidia cards than ATi cards. The fact is nVidia cards are slow in 32bit percision and do not support...

I WANT TO CLEAR SOMETHING UP The author states that 24bit percision is not necessary. This is not true. The DX9 standard dictates the minimum requirement of 24bit percision. Therefore for a correct DX9 implimentation you need 24bit percision or better. When nVidia made the FX series...

The solution is to purchase the game from the people who spent 5+ years of their life making and $40mil to make. This resolves the AI bug.

I live in Ohio. Two messages for you: STOP WASTING TAX PAYER MONEY! STOP WASTING GOVERNMENT TIME THAT CAN BE SPENT FIGHTING REAL CRIME. There is no bait and switch, deception, or any other claim you have made. The box says you need an internet connection to play. End of story. Game...

That quote was from some guy who was right on about the gold date I believe. It was the guys last "post" on some forum on HL2. Oddly, that was posted about 2 weeks BEFORE HL2 hit shelves. And now Valve has told us that there is a surpise. I think HL2DM is a good guess. Personally I want a...

Sweet videos man!

I like your idea. I wish Valve did a "Nightmare" mode like Id does. Maybe even add a meter on the Gravgun so you have limits on its use :eek: Anyhow, if you make the guys more smarter, up their weapon damage, and then remove some explosive barrels, I think you will have a good mod :) Maybe...

I found the HL2 AI much better. The FarCry AI sees/hears you miles away, which is totally unrealistic. They often spot you far off in the jungle :/ HL2 they do not magically KNOW where you are, which is great. In FarCry you make a noise or something and they are all over you. I do not consider...

I agree. Skill and play style make a big difference in how the AI reacts. Two things to remember about HL2: (1) You are a super hero. The game constantly puts you against 5, 8, 10, or MORE enemies at a time. HL2 centers on beating the odds of a large group, not one-on-one duals. The AI is...

Zul, I cannot get your code to work with the exec command. Has anyone else tried this? I will try again tomorrow.

Sweet... That looks great. I will try in a moment. I did test the sounds... they are ok. Can anyone find a real "bullet time" sound now from the Matrix? I found these links, but no bullet time sounds specifically (like the one where Trinity slows down time in the first Matrix... just the...

Since we are posting here, anyone remember off the top of their head how to record a timedemo of you playing and how to load them?

You can do it a couple ways. Yu can pull down the console (~) if it is enabled in the options. From there enter the cheats enabled (sv_cheats 1) and then you can type: host_timescale 1.0 Higher than 1.0 = faster, lower than 1.0 = slower. You can also bind it to keys, like this...

Here are some comments from the other IGN staff on Half-Life 2: IGN Comments

Load any level with the blue gravity gun. Then go to the console (~) and change to a map (change_level LEVELNAME I think is the command) you want to go with the gun. I tried doing this with just map LEVELNAME, but that did not work, you need to do the change_level command. Anyhow, have fun :)...

Instead of the Socket 754 MB and Socket 754 3200+ AMD64 chip I would get a Socket 939 MB and the 90nm Socket 939 3200+ AMD64. Two reasons why: the 90nm 3200+ (939) overclocks well. I believe it was Hardocp did some tests and it oced over 300MHz stabably (they got it up to 3800+ speeds). And...

Why was this command not working (crashing) and now it is? What changed? I also want friendly turrets!
