no, but water and glass reflects you know... and how can there be so much buildings without any has a mirror in it, in the bathroom for example.

heheh, true.

Well, I don't think its gona ruin the game for us :rolling:

 

[The Brick]

uhhh... i think you are supposed to put that in the 'info from valve only' thread.

EDIT: oh.... that post is already gone....sorry

 

[Pierre]

if these questions are still going on...

Is fire in the HL2 engine dynamic? eg. if i had a flamethrower and shot it into a bunker would the fire fill the bunker and explode out of any cracks?

Whats the status on Team Fortress 2?

Whats been added/subtracted to Team Fortress 2?

 

[The Brick]

no, it's already stated that fire and smoke is not simulated or 'volumetric'. But they said a mod could do it for sure.

 

[Pierre]

I read in a TF2 interview 4 or 5 years ago that they did have volumetric smoke in the game.. and that was a while ago... Maybe it just something they were claiming to do. Or maybe theres no flamethrower in hl2 or a situation where there a big explosion that is iscolated in a tunnel or something... but the engine does have the ability to pull it off...?

Freeman has a beard, if he has a beard it's because he can't shave. If he can't shave, it's because there are no mirrors. That's it!!!
