    Pilotable Strider Alpha Mod 0.2 Released

    Tried this mod on Highway, and it was ok, but too much walking, not enough action. Not remember specifically what exact map would allow me to move and progress, and still fight, I got an idea... ANTLION TROOPERS! Oh yeah, load up ANTLION TROPPERS and THAT is a blast. Leg attack antlions...

    Best Cheap Graphics Card

    At $200, the 6600GT is better overall. If you can ignore the fanboy stuff in this thread, it has some good info. If you can find a used 9800Pro for $150 that is a great deal also. BEWARE! Not all 9800Pros are made the same. Some have underclocked CPUs/Memory. The memory should be ~680MHz...

    There goes hope of a GOTY at Gamespot...

    I would not go that far, but GameSpot does have a long history of rating PC games lower. Fact, not opinion. The problem with a site like GameSpot is that there is a disconnect; on the one hand they want to keep PC and Console games, and even the individual consoles, separate--and their review...

    There goes hope of a GOTY at Gamespot...

    I did not contradict myself in the least. Stating that other games are worth of GotY and stating that there are more AAA+ titles this year, thus an opening to be different, are two different things. A AAA+ does not make a GotY canidate make. Maybe in your book, but not mine. GotY is a game...

    There goes hope of a GOTY at Gamespot...

    Think of it this way: Gamespot makes money from advertising, and advertisers pay Gamespot for having a lot of traffic. What better way to get attention than to be different? GS knows IGN, GameSpy, most likely PCGamer, and probably a host of others will give it GoY honors. HL2 was #2 all time...

    What are the 5 best HL2DM maps?

    The Valve maps are great, but I would take those for granted :) Although I do not have 5, here are two I really liked: 1. Invasion (80% complete). MoonQuake's map looks great, is layed out well, well balanced, blah blah blah. The one thing MoonQuake has done is actually put some real...

    What are the 5 best HL2DM maps?

    Title is pretty clear :) There are so many 50% completed maps that it has taken far too long to find the ones with polish and promise. So I thought I would ask the community for their favorites! My preference are maps that have team base objectives like MoonQuakes map Invasion (in the works...

    HL2 SP MAP RELEASE: Antlion Troopers

    Romeo, Looking great. I liked this map so well that I made a little sample logo. Feel free to use this if you wish, no hard feelings if you do not :) I have the Fireworks PNG vector if you want it. I think it would look nice on the preview screen you showed :)

    HL2 SP MAP RELEASE: Antlion Troopers

    I replayed this mod today on host_timescale .4 and it was a BLAST. I really like the music (wish there was more) and the non stop stream of enemies. For those who have had problems beating it: Anyhow, thanks again Romeo, great fun you have given us, yes.

    Optimal settings for nVidia 6800GT

    Asus, same here. I can go 1600x1200 with AA and AF, but the GT only averages in the 50's depending on the map. Some maps 16x12 runs GREAT, on others you are lucky to get low 50s. The Ultra does a bit better though (~15%... I may OC mine again to do 16x12 but I am happy with 1280x960). So for the...

    hl² - High fps or high resolution?

    1024*768--------------none--------------High-------------No----------50-80 1024*768--------------2x----------------High-------------No----------30-70 Those two both look ok. Another option would be 800x600 with the second option. That would probably run 40-75ish and would look nice. Although...

    Optimal settings for nVidia 6800GT

    I was going to mention that. Movies are at 24fps; but they can get away with that because whatever movement that is not caught between frames is blurred. I cannot STAND action scenes in movies where the camera pans quickly--looks like GARBAGE. Motion blur was a technology 3Dfx was working...

    Optimal settings for nVidia 6800GT

    See = distinguish frames; detect = notice difference in fluidity. When a game goes slower than 30fps you can actually see the individual frames. Over 30fps you cannot see the individual frames but you can detect smoothness and transition. When it bobs up and down it bothers some people. I...

    Optimal settings for nVidia 6800GT

    The eye can only see 30fps, but it can detect changed between 30 and 60. Some of us are more bothered by jumps up and down between 30 and 60 than others. That is why most review sites consider 60fps idea, and not 30fps. 60fps is much smoother, at least for me :)
