Tons of pics of Half-Life 2. Looks better than Doom 3 imo <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->. I recommend saving these pics, valve may take them off...

    Want it. Now.

    And valve can't take those pics down... it's virtually impossible to "shut down" a website if the owner knows what he or she is doing. Not to mention the fact that they were printed in a magazine.

    barneys helmet was quite a piece of technology. Immune to bullets, crowbars, etc.
    Shame they didnt think about making his armor out of the same material...

    The characters look like real people and not some pixilated death! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    *gasp*

    I wonder what NS would look like on Half Life 2.

    OH, and did anyone know that the way the 2 is displayed on the title, means "Squared"?

    So, you could call it "Half Life 2", but according to math exponents i'd say its "Half Life Squared".

    Why? Because this is half-life times itself. I mean, Half Life was revolutionary in its day, and it looks like it'll be revolutionary again... SQUARED! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Half-Life 2 is going to KILL half-life series. Half-life is still the strongest game and they make loads of many and with half-life 2 they will in the short term also, but after while it won't. My remake something that is not broken?

    oh.
    my.
    god.

    just looked at the high-res pics of Half Life 2 and... Sept. 30, 2003.

    THATS MY BIRTHDAY!!! *shock* honest.

    exoity, Half Life 2 is a betterment of the original. why did you think Blizzard made Diablo 2? WestWood and the Command and Conquer series? Sierra and the Age of Empires series?

    Besides...

    I wonder what Natural Selection would look like on Half Life 2... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Umm... that is <b>subscripted</b> 2, I'm not sure <i>exactly</i> what that means, but that's good enough for HL2.

    HL squared would be made with a <b>superscripted</b> 2, like Half-Life?

    The one with the subscripted 2 looks like it was home-made (by the operators of the website). On all of the magazines, the title has a superscripted 2.

    Just because a new game comes out, doesnt mean the prequel is going to be abandoned.
    Case in point, Quake 2.
    That was hot for about a month or 2, then everyone went back to quake 1.
    Plus note HL2 is most likely going to need a very high end pc to run it well.
    People are still playing HL1 at 5-15 fps. I REALLY doubt theyll want to play at 1 fps. Its hard, I beta tested everquest at 1 fps and it was no fun.

    Errr - read the post in off topic. No linking to hi-res images (because it's not fair to magazine creators since people might not buy mag).

    Damn, will they ever get that right?

    They probably made corpses non-blocking for gameplay reasons.
