half-life 2 OMFG
 

OK I just got done watching a 25min video of the half-life 2 game play and jesus fucking christ this game is going to kick so much ass. The graphics are so intense the physics engine is soo realistic I know in September I won't be coming out of my room for a few weeks.

To see the 25 mins video (600MB) go to the URL below:
http://www.fileplanet.com/files/120000/123983.shtml

That tech demo is amazing isnt it ... did you know the Minimum Requirements for the game will be:

700 MHz PC with 128 MB RAM and a DX6-level video card

Obviously if you want the ultimate experience you'll be lookin at shelling out money for a new fancy schmancy graphics card, but it is nice to know that it will be accessable for everyone

Ignoring the graphics almost entirely the game physics are insane. It's nice to see that some people dont spend all day just looking at p0rn. :thumbsup

I dont wanna make an account
can anybody give me a UN/PASS ?

thanx in advance :thumbsup

LOL it takes 2 secs to register.

2 secs too many :(

You could get it on kazaa or some other shit.

If you don't want to make an account at fileplanet search on kazaa for the following file:

hl2_demo_trailer_full.mov - 602MB

But Everquest 2 won the award for best and beat out that silly game...

Play a real game get EQ and EQ2 I will see you there:)

:warning
Won the award for best ... How does someone win the 'award for best' ... and who gave out the award?

Hehehe, evercrack 2 looks addictive, but the physics and graphics of half life 2 just put all other technologies to shame ... hell, there are 40 seperate muscles in characters faces alone on the ingame graphics ...

EQ 2 is Best Multiplayer game actually!

Info on E3 Awards

Half Life 2 seems to be a great game though they win all kinds of shit I think spreading 3 categories
:winkwink:

EQ's not a game, its a job...

Yeah it is.
Been playing for 4 years now.
Its a small money maker.

what engine is it based on?

No shit...I'm just planning on not getting anything accomplished for a week or two after it comes out. My whole family is HL crazy, so I'll be fighting my husband and daughter for playing time, too...I have the vid you linked to, the new vehicles you can drive instead of the ol' preprogrammed train look motherfucking awesome! And I can't wait to get my hands on that manipulator gun (I think that's what they're calling it -- the thingie you can pick stuff up with and throw it).

According to PC Gamer, it's based on the Havoc engine from Deus Ex.

"The story of Half-Life 2 starts with its technology. While the original Half-Life was created with Quake technology licensed from id Software, Valve spent most of the last few years developing their own brand-new engine, dubbed "Source." "

Yea, I just can't believe the physics, so realistics its almost scary.

i'm getting a new box so i can play
the only video game i've ever loved was half-life

gordon freeman's the man

doom3 will be better :)

Yeah, i read it was a VERY HEAVILY modified version of the Havoc Engine as well ... but I thought Dues Ex was based on the Unreal Engine ...

Gorden Freeman takes on hordes of the undead ... who will win!!!

Ill be playing both games, doom3 and Half Life2

I bet doom3 will be even better eye candy, but HL2 will have the storyline that will immerse you deeper.

Screenshots from HL2 remind me of HG Wells' War of the Worlds.

Is anybody else here into singleplayer mods? I've run through just about everything I can find...everything from "They Hunger" to crappy stuff like "Todesangst"...I'm jonesing for something new to play.

I found a site with a bunch of HL Mods, single player and MP I'll look for it again and give you the URL if I find it.

Try this one, scroll towards the bottom.

the engine of this game IS powerful indeed, they based themselves on older engines just like the GeoMod engine which was pretty good at demolishing environment and stuff like that... but the physics and all... it IS outstanding work.

Yeah, that's where I go for mods, too. I got a FilePlanet subscrip just because I download a lot of HL mod files. My fave so far has been They Hunger...y'all have any favorites? Another good one I played was Poke646, but the weapons were really funky. You used nail guns instead of a handgun or machine gun...

Game looks fucking badass. Time to upgrade the computer.

Just found this MOD tonight, it's not done but check out the graphics and demo video.

Gorden Freeman is a fag.

:warning

OMG!!!
Cant wait to see CS2...:thumbsup

I doubt there's going to be a CS2.

I got to get a whole new computer just to play half-life 2 and doom 3, oh yea!

why wouldn't there be? did a third party create cs? if so, then you could see cs2 as its own game.

This gotta be the best looking game I've ever seen.

This was a snippet from a press release from Valve in 2001 (they bought CS off of a 3rd party):

It's been 2 years and still no sign of a CS2.
