Halflife2

[buckethead55]

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to name this game "One and a halflife?

 

[StickFigs]

Or "Half-Life Squared"

 

[StickFigs]

Or better yet. "Half the life of an atom times itself 2 times"

 

[sranjesuper]

Half life x (4)+ (-2)/36 x 84 would be a good name

to smart for me^^^^

Hey... that's what it really is! Just look at the logo! And here I've been saying TWO... yar, makes me want to eat someone!

By convention, you add one to the name of a game for the sequel. You don't multiply it by 2, or square it you dumb ****s. What the **** is wrong with you?

Half-Life = Life / 2

Life / 2 x 2 = Life

Therefore, if you don't buy HL2 you have no life...

 

[BloodyL]

HL 1.5 would be if HL3 was set in between HL1 and HL2.

Less of the attitude buckethead, they were just throwing their ideas on the table just like you and I have.

Silence the violence, increase the peace!

EDIT: What determines your rank? Post Count?

Yes, it's post count... except for moderators/admins... they get to choose.

The post count has been removed and the rank is in it's place.
The rank is still determined by post count and it's an attempt at dissuading spam.

Let me guess. Type A personality?

Well... there were both... so technically it already had a place... :bounce:

 

[OCybrManO]

The posts are still counted... just not shown to us.

Headcrab - 0
Zombie - 100
Ant Lion - 200
Prowler - 430
Hydra - 520
Strider - 760
Combine - 880

That's all the milestones... unless something has changed recently.

How about HL2

"We won't finish it"

here's a spoof about DNF


DNF= Did Not Finish

 

[DaveKap]

No you're all going about this the wrong way!!!

First of all, yes, it is infact Half-Life^2 (squared). However, this would mean that it's .5 of a life times .5 of a life, thus making it a .25 life.

So really, the game should be called Quarter-Life.

And Half-Life 3 is really going to be Eigth-Life (not 8th, but 1/8th).

Ok? Math = Good!

har har 1.5

 

[FictiousWill]

As cool as "half-life squared" sounds, it just doesn't seem to flow. You can't say it as fast as HL2.

They should rename it to a random combination of alphanumeric characters, like "3lk$-0as*e"

Me, from a different thread:

Actually, the symbol used to represent HL is "lambda", a letter from the greek alphabet, which is commonly used in physics and maths equations etc. HL2 is actually lambda^2 (lambda squared). Just look at how the HL2 logo is layed out

There are certain common uses of the lambda symbol in physics, but I'm no scientist so don't ask me It's been discussed around here though, so someone around here knows more about it.

Oh man I'm never gonna get past Headcrab, this is like my 3rd post :cheese:

 

[MrMethane]

You speak as though this was a bad thing. Click here for great enlightenment, fellow headcrab!

 

[commando]

well the first one was HALF LIFE....so the second one should be "THE OTHER LIFE"

na lol HL2 is the best name ever.

 

[StickFigs]

WHat about "1/3-Life"

gotta love random combinations of alphanumeric characters.
