    Yeah, it's dumb.

    I don't know if it's intentional, but Kathar's Gordon model rigged the facial expressions in such an interesting way, I laughed out loud quite a few times in the office scene.

    Awesome HL2 grenade skill video

    I never used grenades much... They always roll away from the landing spot to, say, 500 yards away. Or did I somehow throw it the wrong way all these years?

    Yeah, it's dumb.

    The environment map mask is combinesoldiershet_mask.vtf in materials/Models/Combine_soldier Just extract it and photoshop it. (Change the brightness/contrast etc) The brighter a certain part is, the more reflective they'll be. (White = chrome/mirror look) You'd need GCFscape and vtf plugin of...

    Yeah, it's dumb.

    The sort-of HDR is the bloom and fake-exposure effect of the new version of SMod. They did a VERY nice job imitating it. A resource hog though. (It's not just blooming. The overall brightness level actually changes when you go from a bright area to a darker one -- just like the "real" HDR in...

    Yeah, it's dumb.

    The girls in bikini filled the ranks for the combine and CPs. By Gordon Freeman the new Administrator himself. :P -- It started out as a simple "experiment" of switching the Combine and citizens around. It went wrong a few minutes later. :cheese: I sort of pulled every model from Korin's Mod...

    Yeah, it's dumb.

    I loved messing with npc_replace_model in SMod. But in most cases it won't work right. (Missing animations) So I started learning how to use the SDK. And did a lot of dumb stuff with it. Despite the fact that Orange Box broke EVERY development tool that is breakable. :| And no, I never...

    America and Europe

    Whatever is "cheaper" for them, in your terms. :D It's just like, we sure have the technology to build automated factories with robots making all consumables for us. But it's just cheaper to hire some sweatshops in a China village to make them. :P I think they figured that it takes one...

    XBox port

    The scoped gun you saw is the OICW. (see my earlier post) Personally I preferred it much better than the AR2.

    Echoes of Half-Life *very minor spoiler, in fact, it's probably not really a spoiler*

    Personally, I WANT an einstein in EP3 or future HL games.

    XBox port

    Maybe (Just maybe) you saw a screenshot of CS:S (Counterstrike: Source). They are released around the same time, and are almost always packaged together. So it's not unusual that their screenshots are compiled together in some reviewing sites. Or is that the XM-29 OICW you saw? It's a weapon in...

    Why does Gordon Freeman move like a retard

    SARCASM SPHERE SELF-TEST COMPLETE. :laugh: Seriously though, I would not mind if they add leaning. Anything more that is gimmicky.

    Freeman Pontifex 0 0% The two Antlion mamas, the zombies and the seesaw bridge feels so unloved. :P

    Look At All Those Explosive Barrels! (A theory)

    One thing that bothers me is how rusty these barrels look. If they are really manufactured, or even packaged by the combine, I suspect they'll use their fancy blue alloy. Therefore I think they're what they're -- half-spent fuel barrels (which explodes best with the fuel/air mixture). Why are...

    America and Europe

    Something along the line of "Non-mechanical reproduction simulation"? :rolleyes: Cloning may be a solution, but why bother... Since virtually anyone can be converted to a combine. The physical and mental capabilities required by soldiers today does not apply since the combine are all surgery...

    blue device?

    It looks like the antenna is made from coat-hangers.

    what guns do you want to see in EP.3

    Interesting... flechettes fired this way does NO DAMAGE to hunters at all. Guess they're counted as friendly fire.

    what guns do you want to see in EP.3

    Weeeeeeee!! :sniper: [2 minutes later] They are not as effective as I wished them to be. :sleep:

    what guns do you want to see in EP.3

    That reminds me of the hive-hand (or alien gun) in HL1... I'd like to see that too if it is not overly powerful (they vaporizes hunters theoretically...)

    what guns do you want to see in EP.3

    Grenades that doesn't roll 500 feet off the landing point. I also missed the gluon gun... And the SNARKS!!!

    What would you like to bring back?

    Remote bombs that look like little backpacks.
