    Is Mossman Going to Die?

    While she'll probably be alive for the beginning of and maybe a substantial part of Ep3, it seems likely she'll at least be captured, probably eventually killed by the end. I predict some sort of apocalyptic explosion at the conclusion of Ep3, either literally (although the explosions at the...

    G-man's grasp has loosened...

    I really like that idea. When playing OpForce, I always felt like I was trying to find (and stop / kill) Freeman. So if G-Man started using Shepard as Gordon's replacement, he'd have to be hostile... surely?

    Play HL2 on top GFX settings, no matter what

    Hmm... re-reading Taofan's original post, it seems that maybe he doesn't actually need to upgrade. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that rather than having graphics problems due to hardware, he's implying it's HL2's fault (which, of course cannot be...!) If HL2 sets your graphics low and it...

    Play Valve's Portal, today! For free!

    I can imagine this in HL2 as a weapon (like the gravity gun), but I'd prefer it to be Xen technology... Perhaps the Vortigaunts manage to make it for you or something? Something from the teleportation gun in Opposing Force and the Vortigaunt stuff in HL2 and Episode 1 hint it might be Xen.. to...

    Play HL2 on top GFX settings, no matter what

    I don't see what the confusion is about... He clearly needs to upgrade. All I can see that you might not understand is why the original poster hasn't responded... at all! C'mon Taofan! What are yer system specs?

    Play Valve's Portal, today! For free!

    Downloading this baby now... The website's a bit weird (as, it seems the game will be) - is this a mod for HL2 or a stand-alone game? Their website didn't seem to mention HL2 at all... EDIT: I've played it a bit now - very bloody good game, I reckon. Especially since it's free! I can see it's...

    New thread to say 'Hello'... hmm

    *Shakes everyone by the hand* What a friendly welcome from y'all! Thanks! Seems Ragdoll Bush is a popular one... I can watch it for hours (imagining the different noises it'd make when he smacks into those large solid bubbles... heheh)

    is Sin as good as Half Life?

    Sin is good... very good. But compared to HL2 or HL2: Ep1, it's graphically a bit worse: the textures and scenery just isn't as pretty, there's no bloom or HDR, and the level design doeasn't have the same 'wow' effect HL2 and Ep1 has. I'm sure this'll improve for later Sin games, but at the...

    You bought Episode 1. Are you gonna buy Episode 2?

    I enjoyed Emergence - good, clean, kill-y fun! :D It ran slower on my system compared to HL2, but it was thoroughly playable. I will buy Episode 2... someday. I wont rush out and buy it - I have a backlog of games I want (and need) to buy: Oblivion, HL2: Episodes (I don't have 1 yet...;(), Dark...

    Play HL2 on top GFX settings, no matter what

    Indeed. I used to have a GeForce 4 and tried to play games like Morrowind, Far Cry, Doom 3 and the Half-Life 2 demo (the reason I upgraded ;) ). They didn't work, basically. Like the original problem, I had an nVidia card (which didn't support pixel shading of any variety) and things were...

    New thread to say 'Hello'... hmm

    I'm not in the habit of starting threads to say something that everyone else has already said (in this case, 'Hello, I'm new here'). Actually I've been a visitor of HL2.net and reading these forums for some time, but I thought I'd register 'coz.... well, I was bored. I'm also a memeber of...
