Sepht has said the same bullshit in every forum going, for a guy how supposedly doesn’t think hl2
will be all that good he sure talks about it a whole lot. he talks a bit about the tech innovations of farcry,
which I suppose is justified, but the thing is someone had to do it sooner or later. had hl2 came out when farcry
did it would be the same story with reversed names. I think most people missed the greatest parts of half life because
they aren’t things you can interact with, such as the variety of game locations. not only that but the game was made for
an extremely limited engine (by todays standards) and it still stands up to all the scrutiny.

sepht obviously has very little foresight and cannot see the innovations in hl2, such as the manipulator gun. that alone
stands for a great deal. its basically the same as other fps where you could pick up a chair and hit people over the head with it
ala XIII etc... but it has been "manipulated" honed and tweaked into a very interesting gameplay element. but what comes
as part and parcel of that innovation is the staggering degree of accuracy of the material physics, the weight of
objects in the game has been almost perfected, things do what you would expect them to do.

the way that this game will mover things forward is by little baby steps of subtlety, but with so many of them that it will cover the
distance required to make this game the best game ever released to date.

for the people who say that the graphics in hl2 aren’t that impressive I point you toward the video stress test in cs:source.
a very impressive display of the source engines capabilities and a hint of the best graphics that will be seen in the final game.

maybe sepht should go read his copy of pc gamer or pc zone if he lives in the uk and see that pc zone gave the game 97
the same as it gave the original, only the original did it in a time when its own graphics were revolutionary, just wait until
November 23rd and then come back to this forum with a fork and knife and eat your words

as a foot note i would like to say that the person at ID who thought it would be cool to steal the pda idea from system shock 2 should
be taken out back and shot in the head.
