So I use flash get and use around 3 of the download links at once, works sure but when im on 99% OH WOW THE DAMN DOWNLOAD STOPS AND I CANT ADD A NEW MIRROR !$)(*(*%!))(%*(!&*(&#!&**#. Iam so anoyed with you fileplanet get rid of the bloody cut off system NOW.

    I don't see what the fuss is about...

    You want the link?

    It's <b>saving </b>them bandwidth, you don't have to wait in line and Gamespy are just flexing their legal muscles over absolutely nothing. They're just being complete idiots about this.... It has their blastard logo in the video if all they're worried about is plagarism.... idiots...
    Yes, I'm sure a lot of effort went into poorly encoding a video at 2 times the size it should be and slapping their logo on the bottom right corner. Clap clap Gamespy.

    Enjoy the link people. It has about 40 seeds and 3000 leechers at time of post. So it should give you a nice fast speed.

    Guys, this isn't a "Corporations Are Evil!!!111" topic. This is a "There are HL2 videos out, you can get them here!" topic. You can whine about how evil FilePlanet is and how making money is a horrible thing to do in the Discussions forum. The fact of the matter is: It was their equipment that was used to make the video, it's their company and they have a right to control how their content is distributed. If you don't like it, too bad. Buy a subscription or get in line like everyone else.

    There is no cut-off system. I haven't used their download control because it was eating 100% CPU on my computer and all my downloads have worked just fine.

    There's a second video that was shot at E3. If you're an IGN insider (I'm not but one of my mates is) you can grab it. The footage was mentioned in another thread but the quality was ABYSMAL. This one has supurb quality and let's you really see just how awesome the game looks. And if I was living in a country that had decent internet, I would torrent the file right now, but I can't. Please address your complaints to the Australian government.

    As CForrester said- there is no cutoff system. I still use their download manager thing just because it works great for me, doesn't eat up any resources almost.

    Hmm, i've always been tempted for a FilePlanet
    subscriber due to the vasts amounts of video's, demo's
    and patches I download.

    Are they still doing Raven Shield for free when you subscribe?
    And how has the service been CForrester? Had any difficulties?
    Tech Support? Mirrors been nice and fast? Lots of Beta offers?

    If you download a lot of files, it's worth it.

    I haven't had any difficulties at all, really. I didn't get Splinter Cell or Raven Shield because you have to subscribe yearly. I just pay month-by-month with an auto-paying thingy through PayPal.

    Never had problems with the mirrors, though my connection is capped at 40 KBPS down at the moment. :/

    Some nice beta stuff going around, yeah. They haven't really interested me, though.

    I got that a while ago, because I have a Fileplanet membership. Nothing too new or interesting, but it's worth the download if you're a Half-Life fanatic.

    Those Zombie screams were freaky! O_O'

    Is it just me or are the Half-Life 2 graphics not as impressive as they used to be?

    I'm lingering on the payment screen at the moment.

    £45 GBP. for a yearly account. Raven Shield for free.
    Hmmmm

    EDIT: I have to pay TAX on top of that!?!?

    $94 = £53 GBP

    I had a paying fileplanet subscription once. It sucked. Instead of waiting 45 minutes to DL at 200k a second I was waiting 30 minutes to download at 250....

    Yeah... It sucked. The whole "no waiting in line" is a crock of crap false advertising to pull you in.


    Anyway, enough of that. Lets get this thread back on track:


    To those who saw the smaller crappy video, this one is twice as long, in high res, very detailed, and OMG OMG OMG is it pwn. This video has pretty much gotten me almost as hyped for HL2 as I was at this time last year, which considering how "meh" I was only 3 days ago, that's quite a feat.

    Also, I retract my previous statements about HL2's lighting being "the ultra suck". It is now "wow that's nice, if only it were completely dynamic like STALKER and DOOM III, but hot damn its nice!"

    Also, if you don't get this 700mb video, at least get the CS: Source video. I don't care if you hate CS. I hate CS too. But it gives you a great idea of how multiplayer mods can be, and its very very sexy. There is an explosion w/ a bunch of barrels flying due to the physics engine, and its teh uber pwn.

    The lighting on certain bits is just godly: even better in places than Doom3, because in addition to shadows (soft and complex shading instead of hard edges) creeping all over the characters, the light slides over them in a really cool way as well. Check out when that combine walks under the light in the hallway: whoa.

    As far as I can tell, HL2 uses a wide range of lighting modes that scale to give you the most bang for your buck. When they want, they can have lights that light up characters with what almost looks like real time radiosity and shadowing. And when they want to spend your cycles on massive action scenes instead of shadows, they can switch to just having projected stencil shadows.

    And the general world geometry lighting is pretty darn boss as well: very high quality and complex, with automatic HDR effects to simulate wider color ranges without having to dull out the contrast.

    The FP DL is now frighteningly close to starting (only half an hour!), and the torrent is chugging along at a steady 5-10 kpbs.
