It was running on a TnT 16MB card.

You guys are immature. Boobies.

ETM was horrible. Not to mention I barely got 20 FPS on my system. Graphics were not that great, and yet, it choked. I can run Max Payne w/ 50FPS, and that game looks better too. Silly product tie-in. Only reason I bought it was because of the PC Gamer article.

A 2.2GHz P4 w/ a GF3 will not run HL2 even close to full detail. There are games now that system couldn't run in full detail. Expect decent visuals from it. To get the total package you will need a 9800 or 5900, or whatever card comes out between now and ship. No way around it. No more...

Graphics are what sell. Much harder to market gameplay. What attracts your attention on a box: State of the art graphics engine, superior physics, lifelike world. or...Really good story and gameplay, very fun. I mean, face it, if U2 came out w/ mediocre graphics, but amazing gameplay, it...

Lies...all lies. Full detail 70FPS my ass.

Good point. In HL1, if a scientist was being pulled through a hole in the wall, there was no way you could stop it. It was pre-scripted to happen when you came to the correct location in the area to view it. In HL2, since very little scripting is being used, if the Strider starts to walk...

I think some of you are confusing AI with thinking. Basically, the NPCs have a list of things they can do. Based on what is going on around them, they pick the one that makes the most sense from the list. You're right, the Strider doesn't get to choose how he impales the guy, or whether or...

Not even CLOSE to the HL2 demo, but fun none the less. The physics are laughable, barrels don't roll/tumble, they just drop. Explosions look like total garbage, and the water is like some crayon drawing. Props to the designer, good idea. Fun, but it really shows the age of the HL engine.

When Gordon shoots out the supports that drop the swining beam on the Combine soldiers, if you watch closely, they run from the beam. They don't just stand there and let it hit them, they turn and run away from it. Most AI from any other game would be oblivous until they were hit. Just shows...

Hi Ridic

iD sucks because John Carmack doesn't reply to an e-mail filled with your suggestions for his game? Rough.

how about yes

Realistic is 1 shot from the glock in the foot and you are dead/incapacitated. I'll take CS the way it is now, thank you. It's pretty realistic for me, all I get are headshots anyways.

2 legs is different than 1 leg. Much cooler if you can target a specific part. ie shooting one of his legs off below the knee, and the other above it, both seperately. Or shooting his hand off if he has a gun so he can't shoot back, that kind of stuff.

Maybe he is a Combine General, or some higher form of soldier identified by his goggle color. /shrug

That's like saying Hondas get more HP per liter. That's all well and good, but who cares when they put out 150HP. Cobra > efficient Honda. Athlon 64 won't change much. Unless you are running a 64-bit app, and moreover, a 64-bit OS, the performance gains are minimal. Another 2-3 years before...
