Half Life 2's graphics aren't good right?

Woohoo, saw the news on Blue's!

Come to me Half-Life 2! Come to me with your swanky and sexy moves in the cold of November, and bust them out for me, right here, you and me, on my computer, and we will spend hours together, yes, HOURS, maybe even all night along, yes that's right, ALL NIGHT LONG, and you will prove to me how sweet and smooth you can be, and you will spoil me for life like no other, I will not be able to look away, you will be beautiful. You will capture my soul and I will succumb to the desires, and we will be like one, you will steal my heart and take me to a higher level of existence...and higher, ever more higher, until, YES! YES! And life will never be the same again!

Er...sorry for that but HL2 is going to be so singularly awesome I can almost taste it, like chicken, you know? I might have to call in sick to work on 11-16!

extremely well optimised...i am running css at 1024x768 with everything set to max detail, even all reflections, and on top of that have 16x aniso and 4x fsaa enabled, and still get over 100 fps wtih drops to 60-70 fps. Looks freakign incredible, better than doom3 imo.

I hope that was a joke.

What's the difference between reg and collector's edition?

* Counter-Strike: Source - The next generation of the #1 online action game

* Half-Life: Source - Digitally remastered version of the original acclaimed PC game

* Free Limited Edition T-shirt - Offered in men's size XL only

* Half-Life 2 Prima Book - Information on character backgrounds, the making of the game, and more than 100 pieces of artwork

Eh, I might give this game a whirl. But I have a feeling it will play like crap on my system.

SolidAir · Post by **SolidAir** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 11:11 am

so when will the source code be released?

CDN_Merlin · Post by **CDN_Merlin** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 12:44 pm

far from now. The Counter Strike Source is just the name.

SolidAir · Post by **SolidAir** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 3:08 pm

no, I was talking about the source code to half life 2. it was a joke. perhaps you remember what happened last year.

CDN_Merlin · Post by **CDN_Merlin** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 3:37 pm
