The most frequent, most annoying commercial I've ever seen. Especially when they cut to that part at the club, and the NPC dancing... is so horrible.... it looks so retarded

Most game commercials have something to describe the environment , somehitng that valve is trying hard as hell not to not delve too far into.

you are gordan freeman in a city with soldiers and aliens.
who are your friends? . . .PLAY TO FIND OUT

the end (haha).

actually, most game commercials dont do that,im thinking of movies (describing the entire concept/plot).

To create a buzz they just need to remind casual gamers of the success of the last game (awards and sales, which can't hurt), show some game footage (gman talking would be great), then the hl2 logo with the release date.

But i do not think we will see any, mainly because it would be nice, but isnt NEEDEd , as it will sell uber well anyway. more than first one? probably. Did that have TV ads? nope

Unfortunately here in the UK they don't seem to advertise games very much, and when they do the adverts are generally around midnight when nobody's going to see them. You fellas get some screenshots if you see one, cos chances are us Brits will be left out.

If say you wanted to make your own commercial for HL2(just for fun) what sort of software would you need/use.

Adobe premiere (pc), final cut pro(mac), imovie(mac) um can't think of any other's off the top of my head
