Half-Life 2 Surprise = Deathmatch [Nov 30, 2004, 8:32 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A post by Valve's Adrian Finol to the
Steam Users Forums (thanks MonkeyBrains) reveals that Half-Life 2 deathmatch
is the surprise announcement they recently hinted about (story).
The post simply links to this
image, which says the proverbial thousand words about our upcoming
opportunity to throw more than just the kitchen sink at each other.
that IS a screenshot...photoshoped.
The scene.. models.. level.. gun and toilet can easily be taken by any joe if Half life had a death match mode. How ever the halos (glows), some smoothing, tochups are indeed photoshoped.. UNLESS they have done some seirouse coding and actually plan to add this in the form of an upgrade? the glows and such are not unlike that of what we have seen in some of the world war 2 games and starwars battleground. they used a shader to create a motion blur-esq over saturated image. I can see something like that easily being plugged into halflife (its a full screen effect that will work reguardless of game/d3 engine, its just an effect filter).. how ever the screen shot looks way well done, so I may just be dreaming here.
