<div class="IPBDescription">The REAL reason (humour follows....)</div> You think that Flayra is taking his time now... this was the original beta!

But, it's understandable really - this is the original Half Life!

    Ha ha, I wonder where those pictures originally came from?

    Some Medievil setting. Nice, I always wondered how the SA goons did that. I just assumed they were good at photoshop.

    More seriously, <a href='http://www.planethalflife.com/nostalgia/' target='_blank'>some of HL's first screenshots and movies really DO look ancient by comparison</a>.

    They should have went with that design.

    My personal favorites:

    This is the first concept model of gordon (or somthing like that). He <a href='http://www.planethalflife.com/nostalgia/halflife/screens/gordon_earlier.jpg' target='_blank'>looks like a viking</a>.

    And, in the early builds, at least, HL was supposed to be less like the HL we knew and more like quake. The <a href='http://www.planethalflife.com/nostalgia/halflife/screens/tentacles_earlyscientist.jpg' target='_blank'>horrible scis</a> are probally a good example of this.

    lol those pics are from Battle of Hastings
  • MrMojoMrMojo Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9882Members, Constellation
    Ahahah. Gordon looks awesome. They need to release a pack that would replace all the new stuff with the old models, so you could play HL with the old ones. I want to be that Gordon, imagine him and a crowbar.

    The Bayeux tapestry, which is this massive, massive, massive embroidery (200 some feet, if I remember correctly) that tells the story of the events surrounding, and including, the Battle of Hastings.

    Just look a pong, then think its really not that old. Heck my granda ma was alive before 90% of the U.S. had power and running water. Just think what life will be like when we are like a 100?

    "Charles Cleavland" is actually an alias for George Brussard. NS Kicks ****, and Duke Nukem kicks ****. It also explains the simularities in the release dates that most of the mods are going with on both forums.

    Looks to me like an old barney that has a headcrab biting him somewhere.

    Those are awesome tentacles. Now, those tentacles would actually scare me.

    Check out this one

    <img src='http://www.planethalflife.com/nostalgia/halflife/screens/alien_grunt_tunnel2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

    It has a pic of a heavy weapon grunt, which was cut from the final game (but many mods have put them back in with a little coding) and the marine in front appears to be holding.... an uzi?

    That's some killer mapping right there ;D.

    I do like the fan on the ground though...whatever that does.
