To those of you who said the Steel Beams in Phystown ,A.K.A. "TrapTown", Were scriped to keep swining back and forth like a pendulum. You guys are WRONG its all Physics. The Steel Beams slow down and come to a complete stop, after about 4 mins.
And if you use the PhysCannon you can slow it down faster.

uhh.. o...k.....

FYI: i dont have the beta, Im totaly Anti-Stealing, And im not the kind of person that would ruin a Great game like this by playing a pice of shit beta.

Edit: I did not mean to sound like an ass, keep helping Valve. I luv them to death.
 
he never said "I did" or "i used" . Stop being nazis . For all u know he watched a video of it or saw a friend using it. Jesus. And like 90 percent of these forum visitors have it by the ways.
 
VALVE DOESNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHO DOWNLOADED THE BETA YOU ****ING RETARDS! THEY ONLY WANT TO FIND THE PEOPLE DISTRIBUTING THE BETA!

just thought i'd get that off my chest
 
mbrithoms grow up, these guys arent the hackers, valve knows that theres thousands of of people with the beta!!! Dont be sux a cry baby, the beta is out, too late ok!!!goof
 
I HAVE THE FREAKING BETA!!!!! REPORT ME TO VALVE.

Damn kids grow up.

Cheers.
 
lol

I hope all of you who are religous about the beta give your ip addy's to the RIAA whenever you get an mp3.
 
yeah, valve doesnt want the IPs of people who downloaded it. that just slows down their search for the real criminals. 10 of thousands of people have the beta, dont go around reporting all of them.

but if you know who hacked valve, go ahead and let valve know

Actually, even if he did have the beta and you sent it to VALVe they wouldn't care.

I'm not so sure. Right now, my beta isnt totally completed (i have about 90 of the 100 rars) and whenever I start up traptown, the door is instantly kicked open and the beam falls and starts swinging. The beam is scripted to fall once you shoot it from what I can tell. Just like the giant plinko thing in the techdemo. Cmon....it's not like you actually just shot the support for that platform and the barrels fell down. No matter where on that structure you shoot, the barrels come crashing down. It's a set breaking point. I think this is the same with the beam. If you shoot at/near it, it will swing. When I start the map, there must be some error due to my missing files and it starts right away.

EDIT: Lol SpuD. I like your sig. I guess i never paid attention to it b4
I wear a tinfoil cap over my head to block the RIAA.

I had all 100 and the beams still fall at the beginning.
 
the bar was already swinging when i got there, but maybe it was supposed to be. the dumpster was done with physics. i threw my grenade too short, and it only broke one leg, so it didnt fall. i had to throw another to make it happen.

and the door didnt get knocked down for me o_O
 
Here's something for all you "it's not scripted" peeps. Go to the e3 level with Alyx and the bald dude standing there then go and get the gun real quick and gun them both down and start to walk out the door and down the hall then go back into the room.

The whole sequence that is supposed to happen there (with the professor fooling around and saying stuff like "don't touch that!") will still happen. They'll still speak all the dialogue dead on the floor, the room will still shake.

Now whether they chose to script the E3 levels just to have something to show off, who knows. But there is a lot of straight up scripted content in the leak.
 
I dont think it matters if that sequence is scripted or not. It seems to be an efficient way of promoting the storyline.
 
valve doesn't care if you downloaded the beta they just care if you steal the beta from them physically they dont have time to chase 1000000000000 people enough with the witch hunt

Exactly. I think that the scripted events in HL1 made it feel much more real or like an action game rather than just run around..shoot this and that.

One scripted event that I really liked in HL1 was when you were walking in a pipe, and it breaks and you fall on top of a table and it breaks under your weight crushing a headcrab. That was really cool. Another one of my favorites is where a Barney just dives straight through a window and stops just long enough to say, "Hello Gordon."

It's cool with me if things are scripted. I just hope the AI isn't scripted so much that I will know exactly where the people/monsters are going to do when I encounter them. That's the only problem I'll have with scripting.

for the last time valve arn't gonna go after individuals who download the beta, the people suplying it and the people who stole it are their main concern, although they arn't gonna congradulate you for it either.

ps i realise you were being sarcastic.

:cheers:

edit: i should of refreashed, Damnit
 
Well it goes with "nothing is scripted" to stuff being scripted. That I think is what people are having a problem with. The beam stopped for...uh a friend of mine yeah a friend... in midswing. Also the large ant lion "crashed" into the room at the same time. I ran around that room and "clipped" to him, said hi and clipped out. Walked around some more thinking he wasnt coming and...BOOM. Actually made me jump. So if they "scripted" the show fine but they are going to look like "fibbers" (again?) if there are scripted events in the game. BUT it will be a kick butt game none the less and will have my $50 when it comes out.

Yeah I got this email:

"On Tuesday of this week we sent the email below to all of our customers who played the beta and was promised death. We are writing you today to keep you as up to date as possible about the status of this death. We have now moved our projected release of death to you back up to November 27, 2003. Please keep in mind that this date is very tentative and is likely to change a few times before you start dieing."
 
LOL. Nothing like a good set of people to bring in the punchline!

Thank You! And Goodnight!
 
Attention world! The conversation has deteriorated!
