    HL2 opening train ride

    No, there wasn't, it was one of the first things you needed to do in HL1, go and get your hazard suit from the locker rooms, then proceed to "the test chamber" (dun dun duhhhhh!)

    July 30th Release Candidate almost impossible...

    I agree with alan on this actually. Also, DO NOT expect anything past the first release of the beta, it will have any bugs noted by valve with their feedback program and fixed internally, you'll get one version of the beta for maybe a couple of weeks.

    Half life 2 Bullet Holes

    ATTN guinny - HL2 info thread I'm afraid stalker does not let you see through the bullet holes, they are just the same as HL and HL2 wherein a decal is used to show where the bullet passed through.

    HL2 Flashlight in Action

    He does wear a helmet, its the whole HEV suit, its just that it looks crap if you never see Gordon, its normally taken with the helmet removed, anyway, thats where the HUD comes from.

    Bullets & Physics

    Hmm, yes you can see it, you just don't notice it as you're too busy going "ooooo, purdy pictures..." Anyway, something else you may not have noticed, about the 5 min 20 mark, don't look at whats going on, have a lok at the barrel in the background, it gets caught byy the shotgun fire from the...

    Bullets & Physics

    Bullets do NOT produce holes in Stalker, their pr guy has already answered that question. Bullets pass through certain objects, the same way they can in the HL engine And, thusly, the same as they can in the Source engine. If you shot a breakable object in the stalker engine (can't remember...

    Is 5.1 Surround Sound Supported?

    lol, ul, well, even though i have it, i still don't use it, aparently there was an issue with the mic input before the bios updates corrected it.

    Is 5.1 Surround Sound Supported?

    Uh, guys, anything that uses directsound output will have posistional audio as you put it, HL has it already, and thats what? DX7? or is it 6, i can't remember :/ Anyway, 5.1 would be nice, but a good quality 4.1 system won't be noticibly worse. To the guy who had a creative and crackling...

    Highest Quality E3 2K4 video to date

    Yeah i know i should have tested, but its that new i figured it was just a posting error and would be corrected quickly. However, i also believe that this was recorded by the lanmaniac guys and this quality hasn't been seen on the inet yet.

    Highest Quality E3 2K4 video to date

    Sorry guys, that news was brand new this morning, i'm at work and can't really download it anyway, but yes i noticed the link doesn't work yet, i suspect it will be fixed shortly, so spose we can just keep trying, its only 34 megs in high qual divx, so should be nice.

    Its already been asked, but they have no real world data to give, you'll just have to wait.

    Do I have to have Steam in Order to play HL2?

    Hmm, not sure where you guys are getting this info from, some is correct, some is quite outdated. Steam as you know it now is just a standalone program. Steam as it will be shortly, is actually part of the hl2 engine backbone. Its essentially a built in launcher like the lucas arts...

    What's this weapon then? (Now 3D Gaming Glasses Discussion)

    Looks like an unreal tournament weapon actually, anyway, its an extremely generic advert to show the way their 3d glasses work, the gun and arms are out of the screen its being displayed on, so they just put some custom art there.

    HL2 A.I Vs. Halo 2 A.I.

    Come on guys, the ai was not scripted, the leak was not a game leak. *SOME* of the game's source code was stolen, this was then changed and hacked together to form a just about playable version of the code they stole. Anything but art gleamed from this is almost completely useless, it was not...

    HL2 A.I Vs. Halo 2 A.I.

    Actually, AI is cpu based. Anyway, i think the point being made was its harder to play an fps on an xbox controller than a keyb and mouse, thus dumbed down AI to suit.
