Yeah, that does seem to be Ruby. And if you look at the overall backgroud of that picture it looks like you can see Gordon's face, or maybe that's just me. Sure does seem like there's a face with big nerdy glaces staring back at me, weird.
I tried downloading it from file planet. Waited in line for an hour, then had a 30 minute download time. Then out of nowhere, file is corrupt, and it only shows up as a 200mb file. I didn't want to wait though the 2-hour waiting lines, so I went and got the torrent link.

One of my housemates really summed much of my feelings up as we were watching the battles with the Combine forces. He said "They just seem so natural". That's what got me as well: I was watching AI behave as I'd expect people to behave. The game not only looks fantastic: it feels *believeable*.

That scene where the Combine soldier got shot off of the crane with a rocket was great.

I don't know what you guys are complaining about. Fileplanet wait was only like 30 minutes and DL time like 1 hour. But, this IS 1 AM when I have two papers due tomorrow or I'll probably fail the class. Why am I such an IDIOT! By the time I finished reading this thread, there are about ten minutes left on the DL.
Half-Life 2 has some lighting/shadow issues to fix. Look at the shadow the uplifted crate is making. (16:26 of the 700mb video.)
I hope they fix that.
*I didn't find this myself, someone else at halflife2.net did.
*edit* not to make me look like I hate this game, let me just tell you that this video blew me away. Nothing else I saw (gameplay wise) had me this excited this year.

Also, I think DarkDude is onto something about the Strider gun, cause they both have exactly the same 'disentegration' effect. Perhaps the incendiary rifle is acting as a placeholder model for a different weapon, or maybe the function of the I-Rifle has been changed to this.
Finally, I have to respect Father Grigori's red "Marty McFly" sneakers.

that shadow issue is interesting. I'm not sure it'll be fixed however. I'm assuming they're using some version of shadow volumes. If that's the case, they'll have to test for volume intersections many many times each frame to fix this. Of course they could be doing something different... It's obvious these are not traditional shadow volumes.
