    Half-Life 2's Maximum Map Size

    You can "easily" scale up/down a map's size within a mod by changing the hull size and the POV of the player. This is why maps in HLRally will appear to be bigger than standard HL maps, for example. Rather than having a 'human' player that is 72 units high, and 30-something units wide, they...

    tongue of barnacle in jail scene?

    Imagine the scenario: You need to cross a gap, too wide to jump, between two walk-ways. The only thing you can see to help you, is a barnacle hanging in the 'gap'... You make the jump by leaping straight into the barnacle's 'tongue' and swinging, utilising the Source physics, and then you...

    Crowbar and blood.

    The reason that the animations looked rather b0rked in places is simply due to the video showing a demo playback, rather than someone actually playing the game 'live'. The limited sampling rate of the demo facility produces interpolation artifacts upon playback, such as objects appearing to...

    Steam - Worlds Largest piece of Poo?

    You are using the beta. The beta deliberately corrupts the cache to force you to continuallly re-download the content. This is done to test server bandwidth, etc. The final version won't do this, so you needn't worry about it.

    CS:CZ will come out after HL2

    Amazon don't get to decide the release date. This is simply their 'best guess'. :cheese:

    Gordon Freeman... in the flesh

    Thanks Dile. So, it's not Gordon and we can all take off our tin-foil hats. ;) THE END.

    Edge E3 Edition

    I think somebody (*cough*mrBadger/Iced_Eagle*cough*) is confusing Xen, the race of aliens, with Xen, the alien planet that Gordon visited in HL. AFAIK: YES there will of course be Xen, the aliens but NO, HL2 will not be visiting the Xen planet.

    What Mods are you looking forward to?

    Any WW2 or Counter-Terrorism mods will surely be overshadowed by Day of Defeat 2 and Counter-Strike 2. Natural Selection would be simply great in the HL2 engine, though it could possibly be even better with the Doom3 engine! (Depending, of course on whether id provide solid...

    Funny

    One of the biggest 'draws' of HL2 is probably going to be the online Mod community. The WON#/CD-key issues within HL1 prevent most warez problems, IIRC. You need to use a legit copy, in order to play online. HL2 will likely be the same, in this respect. Doom III on the other hand, is being...

    Doom3 vs HL2

    I can't think why id would be upset by HL2. In FPS terms, they are like apples and oranges. If HL2 was not coming out though, only a fairly small proportion of PC gamers would upgrade their rigs, solely for the sake of playing Doom3. Doom3 sales would therefore be fairly low. A larger...

    Dr. Freemen

    IIRC, the only person that calls you Mr Freeman is the G-Man. He obviously calls you that because he is being disparaging and trying to belittle your intelligence, etc. Apart from the psychological effect of this snub, he probably also he feels that he is actually cleverer, (or at least...
