Half-Life 2: The New Crack

November 17, 2004 1:40:15 AM

I finally got a Steam server to accept packets. That was frustrating as hell. I'm in the sewers now and they just broke out the manhacks. Eesh. Not something I want to see on THIS side of the monitor. Who else has been playing? Did you guys get the special edition with the HL1 and CS source in it like I did?

For those that have asked if Half-Life 2 is pretty/better looking than Doom 3.. I only have to show you one screenshot. Be warned, these are huge.

Yes. Doom 3 relied heavily on darkness. They had some nice bump mapping, but the majority of D3 was shadows. HL2 has its fair share of shadows as well.

Yay! Finished. Shame about the ending. Weird, but a bit sucky.

That's the G-Man in the pic, Talon.

For me, the greatest part of Half-Life was the immersiveness of the storyline. You really felt like you were Gordon Freeman. No cut scenes, no third-person view, he doesn't even speak.

By the way, on a Directx 9.0 graphics card, the water in Half-Life 2 looks stunningly beautiful. Better looking than real water.

Fix your signature, Hashi, to not break the ComNet CoC.

Who bought it online and who bought it retail? I personally used my ATI voucher for the $50 off the price for the steam silver pack, so I got all the games, for $10 and alot of bandwidth.

I figured that was the G-Man, but I wasn't sure. He's got a new outfit it seems. There's also one place to see him that I can't get a screenshot of because it's too quick. I'll try later.

No, I didn't kill her with the crowbar. The gunship did.

I bought retail. Got my t-shirt and HL and CS source.

I got it free with my graphics card, X800 how i love you =)
i just gotta say that halflife 2 makes up for everything doom 3 lacked, like content!

Halflife makes u think, you don't just walk through a place killing everything in sight

my advice, if u like great shooters that will last more than and hour before getting predictable, get this now, NOW!!
