Marketing and price positioning has nothing to do with logic, my friend. You can safely expect it to cost just as much.

Well, maybe if you live far away from any computer stores or the one near you is sold out.

Um. Yes? Just because he makes a funny comment that girls wouldn't like doesn't mean he won't get laid... So yeah, stop trying to look like a ladies' man just because you know that girls wouldn't respond well to that joke.

Oh shut up. It's not like any girls are reading anyway. We can feel free to be cheuvanistic pigs without any fear of reprocussions in our personal lives here. Plus, it was funny.

Just rest assured that he would make a positively atrocious gordon. He is a thin, wimpy little bastard who looks very shifty.

Also keep in mind that it was shown on a widescreen plasma screen, with abormal resolution, and that it limited to 60hz and 60fps.

What a great thread... :cheese:

Thank you very much! I was looking for something like that! This looks like a very thorough description, while the font is a little hard to read. I will save the file, change the font, and read it all! :cheese:

Oh, I see now. If implementing features like these so drastically improves the netcode, why don't all mutliplayer games implement them? It seems as though it would go a long way towards improving BF 1942 and others.

That's very interesting. If you fire at enemy in HL and it looks like you hit him to you, will the server use the enemy's position according to the enemy, or according to what you see? It seems in BF that it's according to where the enemy says he is. So if an enemy with a high ping is running...

It's called "Bink."

Bah, I'm not worried. I expect the gameplay to blow me away. The graphics and such aren't what make the game. I'll gorge myself on the movies for now, and trust that when I actually sit down with my copy of HL2, it will be what I can do with the amazing physics and engine that will knock my...

Hm, that's interesting. I was pretty sure HL used client side, but I certainly wouldn't rule out a combination of both.

My understanding is that the pin holds the handle in place. Once the handle is released, the timer starts. So you can pull the pin and just hold it as long as you keep the handle pressed. I'm not sure though, that's just what my understanding is.

Thanks, I'll try to get those.

Has anyone heard anything about whether HL2 multiplayer will use client-side hit detection or server-side? HL1 and its mods use client-side, which gives player with good pings an advantage. Battlefield 1942 for instance uses server-side, which means you have to lead for lag, but its harder to...

So in what order did the expansion packs come out? What order should I play them in?

Ah, thank you. I have been meaning to check out the expansion packs. Blue Shift sounds quite intriuging.

Actually, that's not the first time you see him. I just started the game again and am noticing him in way more places than last time. The first time you see him is during the tram ride. He's a walkway on the left. You can also see him conversing with a scientist on the way to your HEV suit. It...

Who is Adrian? Is that from an expansion pack? I have only played the original HL. :o
