For destructable environments to come into games a few things need to happen. First is dynamic lighting/shadowing for everything. The second is some time of fluid dynamics or such physics processing to calculate all the vertex changes and movement of water, the ground, etc... I forget the name...

Hmmm... Actually I think Gabe admitted making a mistake and not dealing with it correctly. Until you have huge companies like VUG and ATi breathing down your neck and a RABID community following your every move I am not sure we can put ourselves in his shoes. Fact: Games get delayed. It...

I also have the Gainward "Hollywood" 5.1 headphones (I got them for $27 from Newegg.com; check around at like pricewatch.com for best price). Anyhow, they are real 5.1 headphones, and with my Audigy 2 ZS the sound is excellent. I use a cheap mic from Staples on top of my monitor. Anyhow, for...

Not a problem. Btw, when I slowed the game down to host_timescale 0.05 the bullets ARE SLOWED DOWN. You can dodge them :) I am thinking of making a "Console Command Guide" and a sample userconfig.cfg file so more people can try this stuff out. I just had a huge war of Combine vs. Citizens...

Can you just paste your code here? Sorry, you only have 2 posts and it is a zip... I would think the console commands in a txt file would be very small. Thanks :) MATRIX MOD Yeah, that would be great! I was thinking even in multiplayer giving players a small reserve (like 5-10 seconds...

This idea was taken from my thread on binding, as for the bullets I am not sure. They seem slower, but it may be because everything else so slowed down you can actually turn quickly and look at them. I will try on 0.1 and test that. One thing you will note that the Combine never seem to get a...

I think the AI is fine. The problem is Gordon can out gun a crowd of combine. Make the combines guns shoot just as well as him and give them better aim... that would make a HUGE difference. The AI gives my brother and cousin fits... good players will always find AI weak because even good...

You are slowed down just a tad, but not that much. I have mine on 7 for mouse sensativity, and with slo-mo on I am able to do as much turning with the mouse I need. It is not annoying at all. Give it a try!

Gotcha. Do remember from an engeering side that developers are not necessarily limited to how an engine performs in the flagship game. e.g. See all the games that use versions of the Quake 3 engine or the Epics Unreal engine technology. CoD and MoH are Quake 3 engine based games, yet the...

Using " works. bind v "host_timescale 0.5" bind b "host_timescale 1.0" Ton of fun slowing it down, fighting, and then speeding it back up. Makes Gordon feel even more like Neo! Btw, for those having troubles spawning stuff, use no clip, go in the air, and then spawn them, move, than...

My problem with GS are thus: 1) The review games and dock for things they wanted/were cut. They need to look at the game for what it is and how it compares to other games available. 2) They seem to review the game less and tend to spend more time trying to spread "anti-hype". Good...

Everyone has an opinion and taste in games. My guess Doom 3 is a game that (1) Tries to recreate the ORIGINAL Doom experience of shoot everything with (2) Start of the art graphics and (3) and to bring ambience and a scary atmosphere to a totally new level. The game did not scare me...

I could not get the bind key to work with the host_timescale command. Can someone else give this a try? Btw, thanks for the help guys :) Much appreciated... the slow down effect is VERY cool!

Interesting write up there, although I think you were too narrow in graphics. It really needed to be 3 categories: 1.) Graphic technology 2.) Artistic design 3.) Immersion: Interactive design/world Some of your points, like FarCry's "gameplay in all directions" is an design element. If...

Hello, Someone had mentioned you can bind console commands to keys. How is this done? Here is the reason why... I have beat HL2 and want to enjoy some of the neat cheats. The one I have been tinkering with is time scale: sv_cheats 1 host_timescale 1.0 Anything above 1.0 speeds the...

100% Behind this. 1. Capture spawn points (Like BF1942), objective based maps, CTF, Assault/Defend, king of the hill, Team Death Match, etc... also get ideas from MP games like GoldenEye 007, Conkers, UT2004, etc... all have good examples of MP games. I would love a king of the hill where...

Polls are very unscientific on forums... e.g. I almost skipped voting because I have no problems with HL2 at all. You will tend to find people who have a beef, problem, or opinion they wish to be heard are the most vocal. That is not to say they are not informative--obviously quite a few of you...

Nice or not, they do get in your way AND they do not listen when you hit 'C'. You tell them to sit somewhere, and when you go off they say "Follow Freeman"--grrrr. This is one of the few weaknesses of the game--and easily fixed. Valve just needs to make it so when you hit C they LISTEN. I do...

The title says "what did barney say" so obviously the thread is going to be making statements/questions about the GAME. If I start a thread "What guns do I get?" in the game and you go read the thread, well, I think the title is sufficient to say SOMETHING about the game is going to be...

I know how you guys feel. Although HL2 does not make me feel this way, 99% of other SP games make me feel like doing somethint else. They are usually repetitive with very little story, interaction, or depth--often all three. HL2 is the FIRST SP game in YEARS that has got me to WANT to play...
