Now I know this one looks quite similar to the one we saw yesterday...especially from the look of the hand and crowbar...but I can't tell if it's fake or not. Some of the surfaces look like possible textures, but a lot of you guys are the experts when it comes to this sort of thing so you tell...

I'm not expecting anything soon, mind you, but I do remember Gabe mentioning in a recent interview that they plan on releasing episodic single player content in the future. Stuff like Alyx and Dog campaigns and what not. I'd prefer to be Dog tbh. Flinging cars around and what not. Any word on...

I just saw someone on the irc chat recommend the following version to me (only filename sorry): 8-08-411. He claimed that these were THE drivers for performance to use with Half-Life 2. Can anyone confirm this? Also, I heard mention in the chat that both ATI and NVIDIA have just released beta...

I'm going to first admit that I didn't play through the first game. Didn't even get it for my X-Box in fact (bought it awhile after it had been out). I did buy the PC version, of which I had a blast playing multi (especially with the added maps Gearbox did such a good job with). Even then I...

I have a scan of it in case you want proof. Just list your e-mail in this thread and I'll send it. I'm not sure about Game Informer's biases (if they have any) so I don't think I can really comment on the Halo 2 review at this point. Suffice it to say they think it's amazing: A favorite...

I know this would take Valve some extra time...but seeing as how they're done with the game atm, I bet it wouldn't be that difficult to achieve. What if they allowed those who've ordered the game on Steam the chance to play the first level (trainstation) or couple levels as a sneak peak before...

This is based on the assumption, of course, that Half-Life 2 indeed makes a gold date which facilitates a November release. But what route do you think Valve/Vivendi will take on the release date? Common sense would dictate before Halo 2. So there's where my vote goes. What bout ya'll?

As it is right now I could obviously burn all the GCF files to disc in order to create a backup. I hope there isn't some security lock on the folder where Steam-acquired files pertaining to Half-Life 2 reside. What I mean, is when we're finally allowed to unlock and play the game, will we be...

A mod should sticky this or at least make a news post. I believe the only other game to have such a high score in US PC Gamer is Alpha Centauri. Congrats to Valve and all their hard work! :cheers:

You start having dreams about trying to get a burned copy from a friend, because all the stores are currently sold out of it and you obviously must play the game asap. Anyone else been having HL2 dreams like this lately? My mind has become so enamoured with all things HL2 that its practically...

One of the graphical features of Half-Life 2's Source engine that I'm most excited about are the Direct X 9 shaders that Valve have implemented. In Far Cry I thought these were used to great effect, and wowed me considerably most times when I witnessed them in action. I'm sure Valve has some jaw...

I'm getting 2.7 MB/sec on my Half-Life 2 pre-load! I know this didn't need a new thread but thought it was cool...I've never downloaded this fast before! Go Steam! Oh yeah, and I saved car insurance by switching to Geico.

Saw a recommendation for this on another forum in response to a gamer's artifacting issues with D3. He had same card as me, 9800 Pro, and I, too, am experiencing these same overheating problems. Since this seems like a real good deal for a cooling solution (on sale for $14 at local shop) I'd...

If I remember correctly, you can get CS: Source if you already have a copy of Condition Zero. Someone told me that through a particular Fileplanet subscription, you can get a copy of Condition Zero for about $5. The subscription being $15, the game $5. This would seem like the best deal to go...

I need some feedback on a problem I've run into with EBX's policy on reserves. Way back in July I started putting money down for Half-Life 2 there. Over the course of the next several months I managed to pay off the game in full. I did this so I wouldn't need to worry about shelling the...

http://pc.ign.com Yeah, it's not Half-Life 2, but I feel as if I had to post this here, seeing as how the official STALKER forum is pretty much depopulated right now. I wanted to get to see someone's response after seeing this. And for the record, I am all about the Half-Life 2. Nevertheless...

Aside from Half-Life 2, what are all currently known titles that implement real time/dynamic lighting? This goes for ones currently in development as well as ones already on the market. I can't think of any currently available that sport this feature other than Splinter Cell, but if someone out...

I agree with EvikEwok that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is the more graphically superior game compared to Half-Life 2, but I do believe there is an overriding factor that explains why this is. To give the members of this forum brief background on just what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is, in case you're unaware, I...

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12303 And for those that are lazy: Hopefully this means more for us than extra details regarding the bundle. Then again I don't know why ATI would be making any sort of release announcement for Valve; seems like the latter could do it themselves. Here's...
