This is mine

My theory about Chell:
-It was a regular day at Aperture Labs, until GLaDOS realeased the neurotoxin.Everybody died.Exept Chell.GLaDOS wanted to learn more about Chell so she spared her.
(Theory 2)
-While GLaDOS was killing everybody in ApLabs,Chell seeked shelter inside the relaxation vault.Unfortunately some of the neurotoxin got in and Chell lost some of her memory...
Please tell me what you think about these theories!
 
Mine.

How'd the Alien's get to earth?

In Half Life 1, you did an experiment with a "sample" of something from "xen". When the sample was "tested" it ripped a hole in the border world, alowing alinens to apper on earth by teleports.

Why'd the Alien's come to earth?

'cause

Are the mutan'ts part of the Alien's in suits, meaning are they on the same team?

If you mean the things with the ripped open chests....no. Those are headcrab Zombies, also known as "mawman" (cause of their chests). When a headcrab latches onto a human and penetrats the skull, that happens.

What are the Alien's planning to do to the earth?

The usual...domonation,suck all resoures, create more troops, the usual.

Who are those nice Alien's that give you a power up once in a while and call you the ''Freeman''? Are they part of the other Alien's?

Vortigaunts, they were enslaved but you saved em. (kinda by acident though)

Who is Dr Freeman?

(Hint: You play him) Gorden Freeman was a scientist who did an experiment that opend the border world.
 
Another one of these? Gah, going all the way back in time sucks. I always have issues figuring out how to tell hl2.net to look that far back. Let me see what I can dig up.

*EDIT*
I want to see a coop mode built into the game, glitch free ! *ahem sven coop* There are numerous games I would love to coop in, but I have to search for hours for a coop mod for it, and then it either doesnt' work, or its glitch central. Please...let there be a multiplayer type of Coop!
 
I have a fairly new NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 128mg... am I going to have a problem? I've been waiting for HL2 for years and I want to be sure I can run it in all, or at least a lot of, its graphical glory.

Without a .007fps rate...

hahahahaha.... more than 4 and a half years and three graphics cards later here we are
 
The post title is the best part, lol.
 
Hey all. My name is William and I am a young age of 13 years old. Im a big Half Life fan, and have played nearly all the games. I currently own:
Half Life
Half Life Opposing Force
Half Life Blue Shift
Half Life Redemption
Half Life Decay
Half Life 2
Half Life 2: Death Match
Half Life 2: Lost Coast

I love the game, and I hope to become a good member.

I'm no longer 13 and I own more Half Life games and I have became a good member :)
 
This was mine:
When the ships come, ignore them. Concentrate on stopping Dr Breen escaping. Just use the ball things and blast loads of them at the energy beam core. The gunships will explode when Breen's ship crashes.
It was in reply to someones query about the end of Dark Energy (obviously). Strangely enough, though, no one else replied after my post!!! Weird!!! :cheese:
 
How the hell do you find your very first post?

It only goes as far as 2007 for me.
 
You can find your first post regardless of whether it was a thread or not.
 
Mine was awesome.

I saw a quote by a Nintendo Rep. and she said something like:

"If people were influenced by video games, we'd all be fat, painted up in yellow chasing little white pills around."

Older people say that the reason violence in teens is strong is because of music and video games while they're actually just looking for something to blame it on. I don't know about you but I don't feel like 'cappin' a foo' after I listen to some Snoop Dogg or feel like screwin' a hooker then shootin' her to get my money after playing GTA. All video games are is an escape. If you want realistic violence...

...Turn on the news.
 
ever noticed that the sub machine gun in HL2 has no grenade launcher, yet it can fire grenades? I also noticed that the grenades come from the center of the screen :S

hmm...
 
Can't find mine. It was something about Alyx i think. If she survived the explosion or something.
 
My top favorite character WOULD be dog but... since i can't pick him i will make a list of my favortie peeple

A Combine Cop - Their suits are awesome (gordons suit is GAY)
Father Gregori - EVERYONE LOVES THIS GUY HE IS INSANE
Alyx - She Can Kick Ass
Gordon - He Has Gravity gun

lol. Gordons suit is gay.

Hello... the topic is the disclaimer, so please don't flame me ;(


Anyways... I was watching the tunnels movie, with the flying chopper things. When Gordon first sees the first chopper, it hits a slanted leaning plank of wood(or two I think). Anyways... I noticed that the planks broke off completely different than where the thing hit em.

The image I have here, is just as it hits it from the top half, and the wood splinters at the middle half.

What I am wondering, is do we have to model each little fragment line, or will the computer model it for us, IE being able to break almost anywhere it is mathematically possible? If thats the case, it seems to be slightly flawed here.


The other question I had was about normal mapping. Normal mapping, watching the video is great, but what happens when we walk RIGHT UP to the normal mapped surface... with our nose right up to it. Will we be able to tell it is flat, or will it still look 3d? Also, what if we look at that very same, 1 polygon flat normal mapped wall surface from a completely parrallel angle? As if it were made into a box, and we looked flush down one side of it as we turned the corner. It'd look COMPLETELY flat, right? Hmm
 
mine was just a Hello too hl2.net, haha....back before the Banimal didn't die of hunger.
 
The reason for u ending up in city 17 is becuz Breen hired you (im only guessing) you see, when ur in the capture casket thingy with the others(alxy and Eli)he says something abouth the highest bidder or so...i am guessing he against the rebellion tried to hire you. He won by bidding higher than the rebellion. In the first chapter point insertion, theres a cam at the gate capture takin a photo of u. And when ur runnin away frm the CPs thes a voice saying miscount or smthing at nova prspket. barney said u were about to board the train to nova prospekt. As we know Nova prospekt is a place where they make stalkers and get new ppl to join the combine.

My belive is that Breen hired you for the combine but Barney showed up and stuff... anyway about the time thingy, i met a vortigaunt in a pipe after you defeat the heli and go into the barn theres a pipe some whre outside the hill.around the cliff walls inside. He said there is not much of a time shift, Freeman is still in the same time but in a different dimension.

well what i am trying to say is gordon is out for hire and it seems Breen bought him
Also, looking back at all my old threads and post just made me lol.
 
I don't know how to find mine out. I shouldn't be allowed near a computer.
 
Mine seems to have been pruned :( It was an application to the cs source clan dek started up back then.
 
Mine, rather interestingly...

That's ridiculous, no protection on those things? If they can suck peoples guts out I would expect severe safety measures.
Discuss.
 
Before I start I'd like to say that I'm new here so I don't know if this has been covered, if it has I'm truly sorry.

A couple weeks ago I was playing Ep. 1 for like the tenth time and had just made my first Exit 17 run and Alyx said she'd stay behind to guard the door. That, of course, is when a couple hacksaws come into view, Alyx shoots em down but I grab one with the Grav. Gun. I walk around with it (I like hacksaws, what can I say) and try to walk up to Alyx, but somwhere between me and her theres an invisible wall. I can walk through it but I lose the grip on the saw. I go through the tiny hallway and theres more hacksaws. I grab one and go back to Alyx once again theres an invisible wall. Everytime I've played Exit 17 theres been that glitch.

At first I assumed it was a glitch, then I thought about how often you see Alyx and hacksaws in the same place. In HL2 you see her in Point Insertion and Red Letter Day (no hacksaws), Black Mesa East (no Hacksaws), Entanglement (no hacksaws while shes with you), I can't remember if its Anticitizen One or Follow Freeman where she opens that gate and you and a few rebels fight off combine as they flood in from the fork in the road (a few hacksaws but shes not really nearby), and dark energy (no hacksaws). Then in Ep. 1 theres Undue Alarm (no hacksaws), Direct Intervention (hacksaws but shes not with you while they're there), Lowlife (no hacksaws), Urban Flight (pretty sure there's no hacksaws), and Exit 17 (either shes not there or the glitch is in your way). Also in Ep. 1 there's no cheat for making a hacksaw.

This seemed odd to me at first but then it occured to me you never had a rollermine and Alyx in the same place in HL2 and the first time you saw one in Episode 1 she showed you that she could make them attack the the combine. My bet is that either in Ep. 2 or Ep. 3 they'll show you Alyx can transform hacksaws too. I think Valve should make this the next new weapon also. Imagine this, you're playing Ep. 3, you're in the Arctic Base
and you just took down a row of combine with your shotgun but one of em deployed a hacksaw. You catch it with the Grav. Gun you're about to smash it into a wall when Alyx says, "Wait, may as well put it to good use." and zaps it with her zapper. now it's glowing a greenish yellow color. The little helpy yellow box that teaches you to play in HL2 pops up and tells you to press the Use key. You do and Gordons hand reaches out presses down on the top of it (a button) and it shrinks into a tiny box, like it is before it's deployed. You walk over combine body pick up tiny remote with one button on it.

You walk through a door and you're on a catwalk and below you there's a huge battle between rebels and combine. You climb down the ladder and sneak up behind the combine, switch to weapon slot 6 (advanced combine technology, sorry pheropod fans but I don't think it'll make a comeback), take out a hacksaw, hold it in the palm of your hand press the button blades pop out and it flys after combine, you take out Grav. Gun catch it, shoot it at combine. Combine elite starts shooting at it, you press alternate fire, you press button on tiny remote, hacksaw converts to undeployed, falls to ground.

Thats how it works, you can hold either five or three hacksaws with a tiny remote which collapes them, walk over pick up. Any damage it takes will be on it forever. Also when in hacksaw slot you'll always be holding a hacksaw unless out of ammo (holding remote) or you press alt. fire (take out remote). The reason I put it in Ep. 3 example is that valve doesn't seem keen on giving a new weapon, which is a shame because it would have made sense if at the rebel outpost hey had a whole bunch of converted combine technology. I'm eager to see if my prediction for HL2 snarks (essentially thats what thet'll be) is right.

Well whatever you think of the idea or if you find out about the glitch, feel free to post that I'm an idiot or a genuis. By the way I'm very glad I can post on halflife2.net because for some reson I can't post on PHL or steam forums even though I have an account for each.

Wow that is beyond fail
 
That was a really long post about wanting controled Manhacks as a wepon.
