Couple of weeks and the game might be Bug free, lol. Be funny if he was waiting for the RC to go gold or something. Don't mind my speculation too much ;D

HalfLife_84 is the guy who visited Valve.
 
thanks for the correction on that sparta. perks me up. i really need to go to bed.

Haven't you guys heard? PHL's trip review got stolen, and is delayed for a year.
 
Jeez, 7 pages without any new info.

Just imagine how long this thread would have been with the info.
 
I think the thread grow up a lot when the article is out and will end in a few new threads...

I would like to have Halflife|84 permission to post things that he said yesterday at #steam-hangout while he was writing the article (4 pages?) but the damn gamesurge irc servers are ****ed for ten hours now, so I'll post article spoilers, you've been warned:

<@Halflife_84|CH> The smoke nade looks sweet...
<Spies> brick walls shouldnt let the bullets through....
<Spies> did you notice if they did?
<@Halflife_84|CH> I noticed it seems like CS 1.6 -- they can go thru certain things...but not EVERYTHING
<@Halflife_84|CH> I shot one guy against the door, and he fell against it then flopped over

<+Flippy> by any chance u know CPU speed on the pcs u were using?
<AcidReign> Yeah, and what graphics card?
<@Halflife_84|CH> no
<@Halflife_84|CH> The one I was using had a 9800Xt
<@Halflife_84|CH> CPU speed? -- I think it was a P4 2.8 or 3Ghz
[18:47] <Spies> does the netcode feel the same?
<Spies> did your have netgraph turned on?
<@Halflife_84|CH> they disabled the console on all the test cpus
<@Halflife_84|CH> But I didn't see any framerate slowdown
<@Halflife_84|CH> Bots - I didn't see any
<@Halflife_84|CH> and yes it was a LAN
<@Halflife_84|CH> Team Fortress 2 IS BEING WORKED ON

<+Flippy> what is the death animation like? does it still do like 1.6 and goes 3rd view and specs the guy that shot u
<@Halflife_84|CH> The death animations.... ARE FREAKIN GREAT.... MAJORLY BETTER THAN CS 1.6
<@Halflife_84|CH> and you see yourself react to the physics
<@Halflife_84|CH> My guy fell on his ass once...then fell over to the side
<+Flippy> i am asking wether it looks like cs1.6 when u spec in third person when u die
<@Halflife_84|CH> Flippy - it goes third person...
<@Halflife_84|CH> I played the first level of HL2 .. but not much more..I also saw them working on the last level
<Spies> does hl2 start like hl?
<@Halflife_84|CH> There is a train ride in
<@Halflife_84|CH> It's similar
<@Halflife_84|CH> The combine soliders are cool...on the way in .. they are beating people and you
<+Flippy> they already posted the min and required specs
<@Halflife_84|CH> I have the min and req -- they are printed on the box
<@Halflife_84|CH> Whats posted on the bottom of the box art is
<@Halflife_84|CH> 1.2 CPU, 256Ram, DX 7 Vid card
> how good was the hl2 menu mr.84? it had a multiplayer option?
<@Halflife_84|CH> Of course there was a MP option
<ThomasToad[js]> was the mp option cs?
<@Halflife_84|CH> I dunno...I didn't click on it
<Spies> what map did you play on?
<@Halflife_84|CH> Dust
<Spies> looking... dusty?
<Spies> dust in the air? coulda swore i saw some in a vid
<@Halflife_84|CH> In the tunnel on Dust (the above ground one) -- there is dust in the air -- and it LOOKS AMASING
<@Halflife_84|CH> I walked in there -- and was like -- oooooooooo, pretty
>Are the screenshots you're getting requested from Valve or did they just give you some for the report?
<@Halflife_84|CH> I requested them for the report

Hnnnnnnnggg *bangs head on keyboard*
 
Before I read it, any story spoilers?

Nope, just a few things that will be "unveiled" in the article

As the gamesurge net is offline I don't know when HL84 is going to post the article, but I think it's already done and he is waiting for the screenshots from valve, he maybe called Valve asking for the screens.
 
hmmmm

He was playing CS:Source but he didn't click the HL2 Multiplayer option in the main menu to start it up.......hmmmm
 
HL2 will have its own Multi-Player, Valve aren't idiots.

Good read, Thanks. ;)
 
I doubt the "Multiplayer" menu will launch CS:S, there're two different games.
 
<@Halflife_84|CH> The death animations.... ARE FREAKIN GREAT.... MAJORLY BETTER THAN CS 1.6

So glad that he knows the difference between death animations and ragdoll physics :rolleyes:

lol. :upstare:

/me wonders how Raziel didn't get that 10 character limit thingy

Hopefully this article should be out tomorrow
 
I hope you're right, since placing MP option that launchs CS:S shouldn't be a great design decision.

Probably same way you'd play CS now - Game Type (something like that) option in the main menu. You could use it to change from normal HL to TFC/CS/Op4/etc.

Is that all that'll be in the article?

Well - that's the first sign of MP.

Can't a man dream. ;(

*runs to his room to sob...
 
i doubt Valve want to release and screens and/or cant decide what to release, so they aren't and this guy won't get any and wont upload his article :p

Actually, Eat fresh the guy who last visted valve emailed them to give him the screenshot of the prison scene and normal-mapped new antlion models which he got to see. Valve sent the screen to him the very next day.
 
thats good news :)
I hope he chooses good screens to get then... like whats beyond 'the chair' or a dead strider !
 
I still can't believe he is waiting to release the article because someone doesn't believe him too... What a load of sh*t... :|

EDIT: Hopefully it will be good info/screens though :D
 
I remember a particular goofball saying "doh there won't be a HL2 MP". Who's laughing now? mouaha! mouahahaha!! :LOL:
