The hl engine is old yes, but I'm contiunually surprised by how good some parts of it still look. The crossbow in HL for example beats alot of weapons models in recent games, thats just sad. It's a compliment to HL, but still.
The bullet impact effects in CS are still great: -bullets leave a hole on both sides of a door, the smoke and particle effects give a good tactile feel to shooting, rounds make a different sound when hitting different materials wood/metal/concrete
I know you are saying why am I so impressed with that. Because some games today still get those basic things wrong. YOu would think they could take note of successful games and learn.

I played for a few minutes, there are a few servers without steam.
Yeah, the movement animations could be better, kinda looks like walking on ice sometimes.
I didn't see any blood - is this correct? Hard to believe they'd make a HL mod without blood; which would be a deal breaker for me.

I think the "is this the _____ " bit is still funny.
Blue -> Seinfeld connection? do tell

yes but why would lame hackers steal and leak a server patch that makes it harder for them to hack and cheat like the lame asses that they are.
I'm sure glad that games like Purge and Chaser get made while Sin2 is ignored.
Yeah, the gaming industry makes sense.

You don't have to be psychic, just predict a game, any game will suck and you'll probably be right.
And Predator was a great action movie, the sniveling, sorry excuses for action movies that come out now days could learn alot from it.

every sequel after Aliens was nothing more than a trip to the ATM machine for all involved anyway
if AVP1 had client/server multiplayer, people would still be playing it today; I gaurantee _that_.
The gameplay really made you feel like you were in the movie, especially the weapon sounds and the way aliens broke apart when you shot them. The darkness aspect was way WAY overused though.
*sigh* note to all dev teams: peer to peer does _not_count as multiplayer

I'm not sure why I needed to know all that. But assuming I did, I'll have forgotten it all by April 2004 anyway.
I guess everyone's waiting for someone else to dl it lol
Also- remember that Half-Life is the last game you will have to download
wow, that's big of them to not require you to download 1+ Gigs

..Unless they totally screw it up
and as we all know, that never happens with games
now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go return Dues Ex2, Halo, Unreal2, Chrome, Enter the matrix...

where the hell do they even come up with these names.
maybe they should have gone with: Universal Combat-Battlecruiser Generations:Ultimate War Of The Ages.
yip

*yawn* Yes I'm going to buy it and yes I'm tired of hearing about it. We get it, we got it, we all know about D3 now. At this point it's like advertising that the sun will come up 7 times next week. Wake me when it's released.
