I had a bad feeling when I booted up the game with the dev console. Expecting something like in Doom 3, I used the "thirdperson" command in my eagerness to see the HL2 Gordon Freeman model. I was awfully disappointed to see only forearms. Sometimes when getting in and out of a vehicle, a grey, improperly-lit model of Freeman showed up with the current weapon in his gut, and things got glitchy.

My gut feeling got worse when I noticed that there were, in fact, no mirrors anywhere in the game to see myself in (again, in comparison to Doom 3). So, can anyone tell me, are my suspicions correct? Is there even a working Freeman model included in the game?

Sure seems like there would have to be one in order to have this mod work, unless they use the HL1 model.

Megatron, people can make there models ya know.

Valve isn't makeing a multiplayer. The "Hidden" HL2 multiplayer I think might not have been "intended". As I believe the way source works is it always initiates a connection to some sort of server. In singleplayer it is to LocalHost, which is your computer. Thus, I think that it is not leftover code.(Quake 3 works somewhat the same way).

Modders will make the multiplayer, can't you guys just wait for the SDK and then wait for a mod to come out with the multiplayer?

Sorry

Whoops, I should have searched the forum to get all the info I just asked before posting :dork:
I could have guessed that anyone making a MP mod could make their own models, but, and I'm sure anyone would agree, I'd rather have Valve make an official model. I mean, don't we deserve a developer-intended manifestation of our beloved antagonist?

(Addendum)
Also, if Valve were to make a real version of the model, then they could do all those facial muscle controls right (indeed as well as the other models in the game). Or maybe they shouldn't do that, lest heathen modders create cinematics in their conversions where Freeman speaks!!

Touché, Valve, touché.

HL2 Deathmatch is the 1 thing that i want VALVe to make. i dont want a billion third party dm mods... and i really want the gordon freeman model to be made by valve. i feel incomplete if i dont have the official freeman model on my side.
