Not a demo a video showing it running on an x800 also thats where fatty states it'll be done this summer

Okay, the game will be "finished" this summer: that doesn't mean it will
ship. I estimate a December release.

Well the apparant plan last year was to release the game on the same date as hl1 and we all know where that went, i can see them doing it this year though.

I think its kind of sad that they are showing the same clip from last years E3, even if its on the x800, I still find it sad. It makes you wonder if the game will have anything else other than what we have seen in videos.

If ATI showed the clip with it using the x800 then I would be like, that’s cool. But with Valve doing it, it makes me wonder if there is anything else in the game.


I think everyone will be disappointed with HL2 when it gets released and find out that its five years worth of crap

I think its gonna be underwhelming no matter what valve do because everyone has such high expectations for it. The graphics look good yes but theyre not a patch on doom 3's graphics, id go as far to say halflife 2 has more of a cartooney look to it than a realistic look.

Theyve been pimping the physics a lot, already been done in ut-2003 ut-2004 and farcry, its not exactly a revoloutionary feature anymore. We just have to hope the game plays well and makes for a good story. Everyone is assuming the game will have tons of mods...well thats not really the case, halflife had a lot of mods because it was easy to mod for and thats pretty much the only reason, if this is tougher to code for, then it'll be a while before mods of any real quality show up on it.

Take into account the physics system and the fact ea are having trouble with the physics system for pacific assault and it should be pretty clear that it'll be a lot more of a challenge for the average modder than halflife ever was. Im looking forward to conversions of day of defeat and counterstrike as much as anyone else, dod in its current state is laughable, it looks like ass and still manages to eat up framerate badly on some maps.....and for a game thats based on a 70% re-written QUAKE-1 engine that shouldn't happen imo.

Just gotta wait and see if valve can pull it off, and if the mod teams can get good support from valve for porting their mods to the new engine.

yeah now that they've held of for so long i really don't care when its gonna come out anymore and like ya said other games have already came out that are doing what Half-Life2 was suppose to be 1st to do, but oh well, who cares anymore

[intrestedviewer]

I think Valve has a tendency to do that, look at what happened to cs-cz....waited so damn long everything got obsolete big time. Team fortress 2? WTH happened to that? Now its half life 2's turn. Looks good when we first see it and we all piss our pants but they take so damn long to finish it that by the time its released other games have already quenched our thirst. Will it be a good game? I think so, certainly worth buying. But for crying out loud hurry it the freak up. mad:

[elstatec]

longer the better as ill need a new system and i wont be able to get another any time soon/

[intrestedviewer]

Yea, for some reason i cant see myself playiing HL2 on my 1.3 Duron and 64mb Geforce 3 oOo: biggrin:

[Madmartagen]

I wonder if I will be playing any of these games on wed and thurs when I go to E3. If they arent there, then is it safe to assume, they wont be ready by their dates?

[intrestedviewer]

HL2 is only gonna have new videos i think, no playable demos.

[Zap. USMC]

Yeah, what the fuck happened to Team Fortress 2 people? I remember waiting for that game back in 2000. Haha, I wonder if they will release it with HL2... who knows biggrin:
