You just have to look at the screenshots of HL2 to work that out CS:S is just a conversation of Counter-Strike with a few bells and whistles. HL2 is 'The Real Deal'

edit - welcome to the forums

Yes, HL2 will have better graphics.

 

[mortiz]

Yes, Half-Life 2 will have better graphics, and CS:S will look better when the maps that were actually built for CS:S come out.

Once hl2 is out in the wild, we will all bow to the sweet graphics. After all, cs:s has to run well online, but hl2 SP can afford to be a lot purtier...

less than 3 weeks now my friends...

 

[Warbie]

I'm sure HL2 will look better than CS:S. Levels will be far larger, with more variety and tiny detail

(just hope it runs aswell *fingers crossed*)

Think source is used for Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2 is made from scratch,
while CS was converted into source engine

yeah think so to. But one thing i mislike: Looking at the binks videoes from E2004 i notice some lack of a fully detalied house blocks on the other side of the street. Hope they do something about before releasing the game..

You can see what i mean, if you download the HL2-Tenements BINK video, where one citiezen is looking out of the window while talking to gordon.

you think? it is

no but ive pld the stolen build & cs:s . I know what the source engine can do and what it cant. Your comments about the buildings will not be changed so i think u will be dissapointed.

I have done the same and can safely say that Half-Life 2's graphics are considerably better. That wasn't even the finished product.

Funny enough, a lot of things have been changed since the leak..so you really don't know yourself.

 

[ukfluke]

ok we'll see.

 

[Vidrio]

ok we'll see.

I'm ukfluke and I'm smart. :dork:






:angel:

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

ok we'll see.

I'll point to dog, it has been drastically changed.

 

[ukfluke]

his comment was on the binks. I dont think the textures of the buildings will change. u do i guess so u will be dissapointed too

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

I think they will have updated textures, because the leak didn't have final work, and they were still working on HL2.

 

[ukfluke]

but the bink is he talked of was from August 2004. Tenements u seen it?

 

[The Monkey]

Then howcome none of the 10 interviews have score lower than 90% if HL2 has such bad graphics as you claim?

 

[ukfluke]

i didnt say it has bad graphics lol . i said if u expect the buildings in the tenements bink to be made better u will be disapointed. Personally i think theyre fine.

 

[Steelwind]

I don't think it'll be better graphics. It's not like it's a new engine that HL2 is running on. The water will look similar, the 3D skymaps function the same way, and they'll use both specular/bump mapping throughout the levels. I think the biggest difference will be in how much extra "stuff" is scattered about the levels. In singleplayer you can allow more static objects and physics routines because none of the data has to be replicated and sent to several connections. It's just your computer crunching numbers. With that in mind however, we may see lower performance numbers with HL2 than we do CS:S. But overall, I don't think it's going to change that drastically. In terms of design, physics, and use of static props, then yes I think HL2 will be better. But not graphically.

because its not just graphics that makes hl2 so good.

Just look at the freaking detail in the new shots. The character models in hl2 (main npcs) make cs:s look like quake 1.
