Like opening tomorrow's newspaper to read about stuff from yesterday. This was all over the board as soon as yesterday ! I agree with the use of the Search-function, that's what it's there for.
Great, thanks ! With those two other indicators 'round the x-hairs, there shouldn't be a problem knowing where you're aiming. If you turn 'em off however, then those five VERY tiny dots could be a pain to find in bright areas and against firery/flashy backgrounds.
BUT, if it changes color...
Hmmm... *Trying to remember if I've ever seen it...*
Could anyone point me to a screenie with this crosshair active ?
Is this crosshair active in the latest huge E3k4 video ? (If so, I just haven't noticed it - probably been too blown away by the graphics and gameplay :laugh: ) Sounds really...
I've just played through Half-Life, H-L: Opposing Force and H-L: Blue Shift - all in about 1 - 2 weeks (no comments about the difficulty ;)
Anyway, the crosshair really bugged me during the entire games - in ALL three titles. During 80% of the games the crosshair wasn't even noticeable - only...
Hehe - I've been visiting that page for years ! It's the funniest online animated comic around. I love the one when he sings that Techno-track, and the one where he makes up a band and does that high pitched guitar (?) sound in the end, when he falls down and raises a lighter !
I would say there are a couple of online comics with some decent humour in 'em - I've certainly got one from Ctrl Alt Del Online which is MUCH better than that above strip !

I myself gonna go with speakers for sure. With an Audigy 2 CZ and Creative's Inspire t7700 7.1 spkr system I don't think I could get a better and more audible immersion into the game...
wierd stuff - so I was watching the E3 -04 movie once more (was a couple of days ago - and I need a fresh dose every now and then). So, as I was watching I just thought that I'd keep an eye out for any people in the video who might be looking gay - just to see if you can draw any actual...
Hehe, thanks. Although, I don't have any scanning equipment either. I just took those pics with a digital camera (that's why the bad quality), edited them in PS and tried to make the best outta 'em. :E
One thing I hadn't heard before was the text under the pic of the Strider telling about...
LMAO
Alec_85 - I can't believe how similar we have translated this article ! Please have a look at mine and you'll see what I mean.
Great work pal ! :thumbs:
LOL - well, heh, that's how great this game is !!! :thumbs:

And, it got merged ??? If I start a new thread - I don't want it to be merged with a previous CLOSED one who people doesn't care about for five tiny flies ! How should people know about my crazy 5 hour sitting with this...
Well, if any pirate ninja admin had pulled his/her head out of the "black hole", and viewed the material linked to, he/she would VERY SOON see that the stuff I posted was certainly NOT scanned. It is a translation based on the swedish article made by Game Reactor.
And IF someone removed my...
I posted MY translation of the GR article a couple of hours ago, I also verified that it showed up in the forum - which it did.
I've just spent five hours translating that recently posted article, I started a thread telling people they could download it from here:
Half-Life 2 article from...
Article translation finished. Download it here
I have just finished translating the "new" article from the swedish gaming magazine "Game Reactor" presented in the latest issue #17
PLEASE NOTE - this material is NOT available online (afaik). This material is NOT the same visit and interview...
The Swedish gaming magazine Gamereactor has a NEW VERY IN DEPTH FIVE (5 !!!) PAGE EXCLUSIVE ARTICLE about Half-Life 2, including several game-play encounters !
This article is presented in Game Reactor #17.
NOTE ! This is NOT the same article that was translated and posted earlier ...
First of all it depends on if you have a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 system. If you're gaming with 5.1, the rear speakers should be standing at your sides and not behind you since the rearmost sattelites produces the sounds from your sides and not from behind. With 6.1 and 7.1 the rearmost speakers DO give...
Yeah, there's not much beating a good subwoofer in an action-packed FPS ! (Actually, my 7.1 system is made up of seven subwoofers and one tweeter !!!) M A N, do my ears feel alive when I try dodging those rockets a sec too late !
And for Fenric1138 and e-body else who's thinking about...
What are your guesses about the sound and audio-features in HL2 ? I have no doubt that it will support at least 5.1 surround and EAX (maybe even Advanced HD).
What kind of level of audio quality and features can you expect from HL2 - will it be like TR-The Angel Of Darkness, Unreal II - The...
A delay like this could be felt long before september even begun ! I haven't been around a single game before which had such an unsure date of release like this one. I do agree that it was right off the lame scale to not publish this information sooner than the last week !
It is clear that...
