Yah, the more you can destroy, the better. I hope there is some locational damage. Like you can shoot a zombies leg off and he crawls, or you can blow his arm off etc. That would be really cool.
I thought the "barrel" Gordon shot was a propane tank, not an actual barrel. I could be wrong. In any case, I think it would be cool to have some sort of grapple gun. Not one that would let you climb up, but you could shoot it at a zombie, and it would wrap around him, then you could reel him...
There is clearly something moving up the tower. I haven't looked closely, I figured it was some sort of exterior elevator. The tower does move. It seems to work similar to a spider. The legs pick up, move out, drop, then it pulls itself forward, consuming whatever is in it's path. I imagine...
This is going to be a great year period.

Deus Ex 2
Half-Life 2
Doom 3
That's just a list of games, not to mention movies:

Lots to look forward too. Cherish it, once these games past, it...
I personally am a fan of Intel. So naturally I would go for the first system. I will be getting a new system soon, within a couple weeks, and the stats are:
P4 3.0GHz 800MHz FSB w/ HT
Intel D875PBZ Chipset
1GB DDR SDRAM PC-3200 (dual channel)
240GB Seagate Barracude 7200.7 SATA - RAID 0...
With all the talk about physics and the amazing graphics HL2 will have, I hope they don't forget about collision. A good example is when the player throws the pherimones at the soldiers camped up behind the beds on their sides in the movie. The ant lions simply walk through them almost. Some...
Hunter forgot his meds.
On the topic at hand: I would say get a P4 with the 800MHz FSB. Atleast 512MB of DUAL DDR ram, 1GHz is slowly becoming more accepted, simply because many new games (even older ones such as BF1942 can utilize that much easily) take advantage of it. If you want to...
