Half-Life 2 (PC)

[Ciaran]

Could it be the full SDK?

[evilmatt]

Gabe's going to reveal they outsourced the whole thing to EA

[Magnakai]

Assuming it's nothing to do with the SDK

Nice: HL:Source DM
Nicer: HL2 DM
Just as nice: TFC:Source
Likely: Nothing special

I think its HL2 multiplayer - Resistance V Overwatch or something like that.

Or it could be some expansion pack info.

I'm still a believer that the expansion packs for HL2 will tie up that particular games loose ends in terms of who lives / who dies and what happens after the end. HL3 will be a totally new setting for The One Freeman to explore

@evilmatt. Guess we can expect a new killer soundtrack and a nightmare trying to play online then ala Burnout 3

The mythical Team Fortress 2...if only.

Found that Vortiguant in the tunnel last night.

Bah,

->Open Spoiler<-

he only says what the other Vortiguant said who fitted your gun! Pretty pointless putting him there imo.

The gun turret section in Nova Prospekt is indeed the hardest bit, it's one of HL2's severe difficulty spikes. Took me many attempts to do it on hard. In the end I just had to abandon righting the turrents after they got knocked over and ran about like a headless chicken taking out guards then dashing for a new bit of cover.

Er, sorry to go back so many pages but I just got to the end of Nova Prospekt (at least, I've met up with wossname again). Where was this section? There were a couple of places with multiple turrets but you could always either get in behind them (in the kitchen) or take them out with grens (where the shield was).
What's all this about carrying turrets around? Surely the ant guys do all the hard work?

[Nijo]

Further to that...

If you use the gun turrets wouldn't you kill your own guys?
Was I even playing the same game??

[nips]

It's not in Nova Prospekt, it's in Entanglement... The chapter afterwards.

[Nijo]

Righty-ho!
Something to look forward to then...

WOW! Bit late to the party with so many great games out, but playing this all weekend. Absolutely superb game, so polished, in terms of graphics and gameplay. Soem of the set pieces and evenst just make you smile. Interactive cinema at its best. If this doesn't amke a great movie I don't know what will. One of the most enjoyable games I've ever played.

Never seen such a complete world vision and design in a game. Hated HL1 abd thought it was overrated now want to know all the backstory on the headcrabs etc. Any ideas where I can find out this stuff?

[H-Man]

The mythical Team Fortress 2...if only.

That's what I really want (but expect new skins in cs :/)

[nips]

Macosx, you can find everything here. ;P

[macosx]

cheers Nips!
Arggh! Deep into 'Following Freeman' and all the textures have dropped out leaving just wireframe, and the game has played super smooth on high everything so far! Damn... reloading from Steam now, as unlike another high profile release this November the story and action have just been building and building...

[Molloy]

Man.. what a rubbish storyline.

->Open Spoiler<-

It's just a Matrix ripoff with less clunky dialogue. They've pulled that awful trick of building up loads of story threads and characters and then not bothering to tie the whole thing up. Lets just put G-Man ranting on about causality and the illusion of choice and leave everything hanging.

They're just setting this up for an incredibly dull Star Trek style multiple timeline conclusion. Except it won't have the Borg in it so it'll suck more than usual.
