The thing I did in the beta the most was play with the bugs you get to order around, I loved watching them assault the combine soldiers, lots of fun.

Especially when the physics kick in and the guys get tossed or the bugs die in mid-air when they are leaping over something.

HL2 is gonna' rock. Very Happy


Could you tell me which map that is plz!

you have to be takin the piss..... hl2 will have more physics than css, its limmited to reduce lags. painkiller hardly has physics at all u cant put that in the table. far cry great graphics? stfu theyre nothing compared to half lifes scales and lighting. funniest one though has to be AI....... HALO GREAT AI!!! lmao u can beat that game using about 1000 bullets if you took your time, they always leave a limb stickin out. and farcrys ai was ok but still not difficult and they dont run away when injured and get help etc. nor do they change the way they appear in every level. i.e when u run past a building 3 monsters will be there 1 on the left 2 on the right. half life will have random enemies.

typical nforce poster that doesnt read and just uses thier own assumptions when making a judgment on a game that hasnt even been played yet.... good call sublime. BTW you have to be taken the piss? Is that some british slang, never heard of it. What does it mean, not trying to be a dick, just curious.

OK So... first off, I don't think anyone has bothered to mention that.... CS-Source IS HALF LIFE 2 YOU MORON. So yes, it WOULD BE considered "revolutionary" in that sense. But nice arguing. As someone said before, no games have broughten these all together... Doom 3 was a joke, it bored the hell out of me and was vastly over rated. Take away the graphics and you have a shitty FPS game. Far cry was enjoyable enough, although as the person mentioned before, the enemies have specific spots that they will always be in, generally standing still.... But it was ok AI... can't really comment on Halo, but I would have thought you would put in UT2004 or something, don't they have good AI?

In any case, it's looking like it will be an amazing game, so who cares wtf it is asides from great? loosah.

Aside from the fact that cs-source IS hl2, I think FarCry matches all 3 up there, and doom3 also deserves the "great physics" award. But you missed the point of the game by a mile if you judge it by those 3. The thing with half-life 2 will be Gameplay and most possibly Storyline. Tho I'm not a storyline whore (OMG EVERY GAME NEEDS A STORYLINE TO BE FUN??!!?!11!1one), I am sure hl2 will have a great one which will be quite gripping. My only worry is - wtf do i do after i finish hl2? The hell im gonna play this remake of cs... sigh :/ Peace,

hit boxes around. Tip barrels in MP/sp. Shoot dead bodies (ragdoll). Doom3 has just as much physics as hl2 (just it doesnt have the physgun, oh poo ;( ). Peace,

HL2 being banned in australia Shocked

http://www.sumea.com.au/snews.asp?news=1222&related=Industry

The Pan European Games Information (PEGI) age rating system has given Half Life 2 an R(18+) rating.This means that minors are unable to purchase the game in numerous countries like Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the UK. What's really interesting about this is how the game fairs in Australia. The Australian Office of Film & Literature Classification (OFLC) has yet to classify Half Life 2, but if the board follows suit from their European counterparts, it'll mean that one of this years highly anticipated titles is banned outright from sales here. Currently, Australia has no R rating for games, so game titles need to meet the highest rating (MA 15+) or they will be refused classification.


I have not seen one game banned in Norway yet.... This must be a joke? Half Life 2 isn't that voilent is it?!


Only game so far that is pretty violent imo is Manhunt

Man don't even call manhunt violent... it's not even imaginative....

That’s just medialized (I made that word up Razz) violence... o a man with a baseball bat can do that Oooo Ooooo so realistic…. So sadistic… sooo violent HAHAHAHAH if there were a hahahha smiley I’d fucking abuse it!

FUCK! I’ve seen sicker things in my own basement when I was kid... manhunt is a child game... Ever seen a guys hand being sawn off an then having his fingers inserted into the flesh wound and then as the poor sap starts screaming they took a saw and just cut open his mouth fuck….


Games can't be violent... no fucking way! They can be gross, bloody yes, gut wrenching, BUT NOT FUCKING VIOLENT!

If manhunt is violent then what is gta? What is mafia? If killing assholes in a over done way is violent then what makes killing innocent bystanders, people in cars a poor lass walking a dog in a lot more realistic manner? Sadistic? Cartoony? Teenrated? FUCK!

Fuck! It’s all stylized violence which means it’s censored in a way that none of you can fell the true pain and horror. It put to a certain level that you can just say it’s fake when you see it. But when you play a game like gta series, mafia, or any sim typed game those are a lot more realistic than any dark game where the sole purpose is to kill. Fuck… those games are violent.... manhunt is just a psychopaths walk through a park

I heard that taking aspirin an drinking vodka is bad… hahahha I haven’t felt a side effect yet Razz

And now I got take a nap and yell at people in my sleep!

Listen to me man.. I agree with you, Im just saying that i don't think Half Life 2 will be revolutionary. At best it will be an improvement on all aspects, and yes that is a very big step for a game. Its just my thoughts, no reason getting fired up about it...

To the others: I'm not talking like I've played the game. I'm looking forward to this as much as you. Its strange with forums, if we had this discussion face to face it would be a friendly one Wink

i heard it's aspirine Neutral and so i had the best night sleep... EVER!

hahahaha plus you can't really be coherent when you just found out a deep dark secret hidden in your family Shocked Laughing or maybe... or is it you can't be coherent when you make stuff up on the spot either way i just need some decent pain killers Razz alcohol it has something to do with the lack of alcohol in my system… I think if I keep drinking the pain would stop and I’ll be happy again YAY!

and we're back

-today on, hl2 - gold, we'll plan on stayin on topic focusing on the nearing release of hl2

-ye we will bob so anything new

-well bill,

Few more weeks till hl2... no new news... nothing... valve's rss updated last night *audience is in shock* it had some reviews and a css update... *audience sympathizes with the reporter* I thought it was something important but no they just posted some reviews like none of us have read them already *audience laughs* and they keep updating css for some reason as if it weren’t complete or something…. Hmm I wonder if hl2 will have a lot of updates coming in when it goes retail. Ok, so i'll read the reviews now starting with the word 'the' * techno music starts, a member of the audience gets up and starts to break dance, then the hot women in the audience start to strip as the reporter reads the reviews to the general john doe public* and there you have it folks Razz *reading ends* and now we open up our phones and'll have our selves a nice discussion *the music stops, stripping ends the hot women and the ugly fat men start having sexual intercourse and the discussion period begins*

so what did the new updates did... in the rss it says

valves' rss wrote:
Fixed server reliable buffer overflow errors
Fixed BroadcastMessage:Reliable Broadcast overflow issue


i'm not big on this whole update talk or bug fixing talk... so what do these mean and have it improved the game in anyway? not that the game play sucks, it's different than original cs. Well, it's just a tad different and a lot easier which is why I like it but never play it Razz

A new one I think.

Damn there was a scary bit in a basement, where this guy calls you down there, but he's fucked up and loads of children with face crabs come running out. I absolutely shat it!

They are way worse then adults with facecrabs! Shocked
