The Real Half-Life 2 Thread
November 12th 2004, 20:46 CET by Anonymous

After countless delays and marketing blunders which kept Half Life fans and ATi customers around the world on the edge of a nervous breakdown, the long anticipated, game play redefining and hyped up beyond belief Half-Life 2 enters the arena. Please discuss.

Xen was the best part of HL1, I can't believe they didn't feature it in HL2.

You could just rip them from HL:Source anyway, couldn't you?

Duality, yeah, in all their lowres glory*. Also I believe the compitition requires no custom textures.



* I assume they haven't remade them in highres glory

All the textures in HL:Source are still the original low-res. They didn't rework any of the content, just converted the files from Q1\HL engine format to Source format. Pretty disappointing.

Would you like to supersize or... BURN FOR ETERNITY?

Neale's map is a lot of fun... though make sure you don't die whilst in the water. There's some looney bug by which you continue to hear under-water noises and move erratically once you've re-spawned.

I've also noticed that somehow people can fly, possibly as a result of this. Well not quite fly, but I was sauntering across the courtyard with the slag-heap in the middle, and found myself propelled way, way up into the air for no obvious reason. I wasn't hurt, and I flew much higher than an explosion would have sent me. I've seen it happen to other people too. Any ideas?

I'd love to see it played team-DM. I imagine some intense battles to possess the rocket-launcher tower.

Also: it has saw blades!

Aww Pro, that sucks.


It's not getting any better either, from what I understand technology has allowed the harvesters to go faster and faster, which means more and more animals getting caught up in them. Especially rabbit populations have apparently dwindled rapidly because of this. Something about their immidiate reaction to all the shaking and hubub of an approching harvester is to lie still at first and then run like crazy, but now the harvesters have gotten so fast they never get to the running part.

Uh.. yeah.. this has been naturehour with Jon.

That's not a bug; you respawned with an ear infection.

I had that happen to me once in single player when I was fucking around with stacking crap. No idea what caused it.

Ugh. I'm so tired of the old putting the RL in a central location and everyone else trying to get it bit.
Also: it has saw blades!

If gravity gun damage was sensible this would be cool, but seeing as ANY furniture above a certain size kills instantly, why would you go with sawblades? They travel faster but they are far tinier.

We have volunteers, now all we need is a device capable of flinging furniture at high velocities. Something within the rubber band genre perhaps?, hmm..

Because...

Well, because.

Come on! Surely putting a serated circle of steel through somebody's brain stirs something deep within your cold, callous heart.


(Also the rocket launcher isn't central, and it's cleverly placed such that getting it doesn't quite give you enough of an overview of the map to make you unstoppable, just a defensible position. It's not particularly one of the hotspots of the map, but I've had some intense one-on-one fire-fights trying to kick out a camper there.)

It's been dormant for several months in the past, newbie. Happened several times, too.

Then Bob had to take it over and turn it into his little pet project to reach 10k posts. Then when he finally reached 10k posts, he realised his life was nothing and he made it his goal to take The Thread to 20k posts.

That's a lie. My goal was at first to get last post, then it became about last post and occasionally about milestones, and then it became about the big 10. After 10k the goal is again to get last post.

And I've always known my life was nothing.

P.S. Today we hit 11k.

I'm gonna order a sign to be put up in Bob's front yard that says: "Congratulations! 10,000!" and leave the neighbours wondering what the 10,000 refers to. Though they probably have some preconceptions as to what it may be.

Yes, my wife rented it, and she's on renting probation for a month now.  What a pile of crap.

My wife, too, was responsible for renting Envy. Maybe there's some strange coven of women devoted to ruining an evening of movie watching for the husbands by renting that particular title.

It was my idea to keep it going. Sort the by names in OpenCrap and scan through my posts to see that it is true.
