whoa, you don't mean condition zero do you?  half life 2....wow..do you know what engine that sucka is gonna be on?  

when i read about counter stike condition zero, i was like "blah, old half life engine...pfft"  hmm...i'm off to find info...

They built a totally new engine. It is amazing, they say that it was designed w/ the mod comunity in mind and will be easier to mod for than HL. Buy the new PC gamer mag when it comes out in stores and you will understand.    

The light in that first picture looks terrible.  Come on, we had that in Quake 1.

Atleast the models look really good.

Orginally they where using the Q3 engine modded sorta like what Raven did for SoF II, tho after a while they decided to switch over to thier own rendering engine...now whether or not there is any thing left of the Q3 engine is unknown at this point, but they are suppose to be using thier own render.

Hard to tell from those shots, but if its not any more detailed that what I see, they should have just licenced the modded Q3 engine from Raven...I think id allows for some thing like that.

Any ways if what I saw of a beta of TF2 at a local lan party here in Seattle some time ago is any thing to go off, I'm sure the player models will look awesome, because what they had there was a slightly modded Q3 engine and they where pushing near Doom III looking models, but at the same time they could scale the models down to where they where slightly less than what orginally shipped with the Quake 1.

It was a cool demo, but I didn't get to tinker with any thing tho since I only knew a guy from Sierra and not Valve.

Oh, yeah, and they started work as soon as the sent the original out the front door and the game will be released on Sept. 30, 2003. Valve decide to basically finish the game before going public with it. smart tactic. Also they included a modified Havok physics engine and most everything is interactive, If you see a chair you can pick it up and use it as a weapon or you can hold it as a shield. Also there is an advanced skeletal anim system that includes the ability to see muscles moving and flexing for more realistic movement. Also the new engine is caled the Source engine. and Acoriding to Valve it will run with tons of eye candy and beautifully on a top of the line machine w/ dx9 features and it will scale down to run on a midrange machine with an original TNT card. (that is freaky)

Cool now you can use objects in the game as weapons, just like in that awesome game called.... Devastation!


I dont doubt that HalfLife 2 will be better, I'm sure it is.... I guess I'll have to get a new video card by the time I get it because I want eye candy!!!

Looks like the bugs from Starship Troopers.

I thought half-life 2 was gonna be xbox only?
