What bit of half life 2 impresses you most??

[barnett]

For me its definately the havoc physics!! I love the way bodies fall etc! none of this '4 ways to die' thingy

 

[Knives]

I like the body physics too, but it still looks a little less like a real body...

 

[Guest]

the sequel to half-life part

 

[Rasmoh]

The game as a whole, probably.

 

[GreaseMonkey]

Physics.

 

[SnowBall]

The game itself.

I was waiting for someone to bring this up rather than posting a new thread and it might have been noticed already. One thing about the ragdoll physics. I know they're brilliant, and definitely the best I've seen so far (apart from Hitman 2 but I'll change my mind once I've seen HL2's in action properly), but have you noticed in Barricade that the second combine soldier Gordon kills on the barricade after he's walked through the ruined building bends backwards during his death animation/ragdoll effect thingy. It looks odd, but it's also quite funny, I wouldn't actually mind if it was left like that.

 

[Murray]

Mabye he broke his back?

 

[Chris D]

Spontaneous vertibrae fracture?

 

[gavsim]

The sound and Music.......so overlooked by some people, it still amazes me everytime I watch the steam movies

 

[Hudson]

maby he had been lifting heavy bricks all day, and the bullets from gordon were just the nail in the coffin, so to speak.

 

[Tyl3n0L]

For me is the gravity gun

 

[Mechagodzilla]

The game is worth it just to use the manipulator.
Also, the laser-guided RPG is back. It was my favorite weapon from HL1.

oh, and another 3: S E X

 

[Gordon'sFreeman]

sad ^ hehe

 

[Chicken]

I'm looking forwards to all the nice physics things you can do like throwing an oven on the headcrabs or the militia with the gravity gun hehe

 

[Chris D]

Gordon's Freeman, I take it as you know about Havok, you've visted their homepage recently? Did you not see the big ass picture of Gordon Freeman on their front page?

They've been using Havok for the last several years, and it's supposedly heavily modifed and teaked.

 

[Gordon'sFreeman]

ahh k thanks, i didn't know that. Learn something new every day

Yep he summed it pretty nicely.

 

[Adam]

The fact that it was kept under wraps for 5 years.

 

[el Chi]

Good call Adam.
The Manipulator, having Alien Slaves as your allies, the continuation of the plot, new beasties and learning more about the G-Man.

 

[Slash]

Every new game is required to have "ragdoll" physics... It's a given. Big deal. The world and material-based physics is a lot more impressive.

 

[Anwar]

Character models look great. I wont miss the ugly hl1 models.

 

[Ridic]

everything. I cant wait to hear the pistol sounds on my new Audigy2.

 

[AmishSlayer]

I can't wait for the modding possibilities let alone the actual game.

 

[Joeyslucky22]

i like the fact that when the bodies are laying on the ground... they're not dancing all over the place.

 

[CuPoJava]

I'll be spending many hours staring into the orange liquid tanks in Dr. Kleiner's lab.

 

[tokin]

id have to say, the ragdoll effects and pretty much the phsyics. Then in 3rd comes the facial expressions and gameplay is pretty high up there too.

 

[nw909]

One thing: Everything.

 

[RabidMeatloaf]

Teh sexeh silver box it'll come in....


Just as NW said, pretty much everything (except the HD space it'll take up).

 

[Quixoticism]

EVERYTHING!!! minus the hideous MP7(?) i think that is what it is called

 

[A2597]

the fact that...
ITS REAL MAN!!!
WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously, no one thing would do it. All of it put together though...

 

[bx|ch3f_0z]

that one day it will be installed...

I'll tatoo it on my arm.

 

[DimitriPopov]

All of it impressed me , I like the physics probably most , the interactivity. The AI and everything is amazing. . so is the water. And the story. you get the picture.

 

[synth]

I like everything about the new game, but the face expressions I could do without, as well as the better graphics. I'd be willing to play Half-Life 1 with the new physics.

So my opinion is obviously the physics.
