Well played, Valve. That's how you turn lemons into lemonade.

[Edit] - On the Soldier's big wall of messages, second row from bottom, second from left says "leaked video."

Hell, while we're at it, sappers aren't throwable, and they take longer than two seconds to detonate a sentry. Who cares?

That's a hell of an update they snuck in for spies -- they can now carry any weapon they please in the disguise. It used to be a safe reassurance knowing that someone carrying anything besides the default weapon was NOT a spy.

Color me surprised at how robust this game is. I hear "free web-based" and I picture a game running in a browser window with ads to the side and an incomplete texture pack. But this is a very thorough interface for how small the client download is.

And I agree with a previous commenter about how out of shape I felt. This is just such fast, classic, old-school shooter flava. No gimmicky objectives, no distracting environments, just shoot the hell out of each other. I miss the gibs though.

Anyone know which drivers work best with Windows 7? I've been using the 9.1s and my 3dmark and Crysis benchmark scores both decreased when switching from Vista to the 7 beta. I assume this is because 7's driver support is not mature yet.

So it has a new engine and prettier graphics, but is much, much simpler. Essentially it's BF1942 with a boob job and lobotomy, and EA is counting on people not wanting to trade the double-Ds for a smarter girl.

All this has made me want to do is play BF1942 again.

Yeah, I will keep an eye out for the No-Mo'-Slo-Mo-Glo mod (heh). There were several aspects of the demo that I did enjoy, but right now, its drawbacks outweigh its benefits.

Is that awful consolitis glow around the enemies removed in this video? I won't be buying this until they get rid of what is effectively a bright neon sign saying "SHOOT HERE."

I bought and enjoyed the original F.E.A.R., and played through this demo. It had both strong and weak points, but the consolized glow around the enemies in bullet time is a deal-breaker for me. Until I hear that it's removed or removable, I don't want to buy this game.

Yeah, that bothered me too. Why the glow? I'm not on an Xbox. Shouldn't such "object shimmer" effects be disabled? Bioshock did this too.

Same here - FileFront is downloading it very quickly for me right now.

Despite the fact that they're re-coding a 10 year old game into a 5 year old engine, and they seem to have re-recorded the voices, which is weird and unnecessary... I'm still excited as hell for Black Mesa Source.

Edit: Bulleted list wasn't necessary

Hey Blue, might be worth noting that today marks the 10th anniversary of Half-Life's release. It's been a hell of a decade.

Btw, I sell a 'jump to conclusions' game where you have to jump to conclusions on a mat.

That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life.

Put me down for "best game ever." I still remember having hour-long arguments with my friends over the ending. No game has moved me in such a way since.

It actually says "Crysis Warhead." Blue, is that a typo in your post, or has the name changed in the last 12 hours?

Never played the Lego Star Wars games, or even read much about them, but this video looked <i>completely awesome</i>. Can anyone verify?
