I'll check out the PC release, I know I'll be able to run it no prob. But I'm still waiting to see if I get my free copy of HL2 when it releases, from that ATI deal a while back.

I bought HL2 the day they let you buy it and get CS:S. I've been mapping with the newly released SDK for the last couple of days ... the engine is so fucking awesome. Just the shit that you can do ... in Hammer (the level editor) is physically amazing.

It comes out in a few days, I'm wicked pumped... I'll be playing it the second that it is released.

HAs it been confirmed that Halo 2 is coming out for PC? I had heard that Halo 2 was X-Box exclusive ... though, I'm probably wrong.

hmmm... I may have to d/l the sdk as well

I have the Silver pack of HL2 which will include HL2 CS:S and HL1 and DOD in the source engine, I paid some 60 dollars for it to. Cant wait for it, but with vivendi's lawsuit with valve over the distribution rights (Steam = no physical distribution) I wouldnt count too much on that release date, tho' it'd be cool if it was, I certainly hope 11/16/04 is the release date

I bought the silver as well.
To my understanding, VU and Valve settled out of court and the game is scheduled for the Nov. 16th release day ... Atleast, that's what I remember from a month ago or so. Regardless, I've been having a blast mapping for CS:S, just testing out the physics...

It's so incredible.

Thats like saying girls dont like other girls sexually, but some do; stereotypes make me wanna stick a plasma grenade to ya.

But I just made my GF orgasm for over an hour, so I'm in a relatively good mood.

don't take any offense to this, jep, because i am happy that you're happy. but, it saddens me that you have a girlfriend, and i do not.

not only do I have a beautiful and smart GF, but I also have 5 stalkers (more precisely Social Clingers that I'm not attracted to, but they dont like to hear "no.") Its a tradeoff really, its an ego booster, but its annoying as frell.

anyway raub... We're open minded... if your ever in the area... (just kindding, I'm still a virgin)

andrew you have to remember, he's in jersey, and not having a girlfriend is better than having a jersey girl.

For every letter in that statement, I will kill you...

I heard its much different than the teaser thats been floating around online. And at one point of the game, you play as a covenant...

I got to play this today after class. We commandeered a classroom and hooked an XBOX up through a projector. Nothing quite like playing 4 player split screen when each player has a 30+" portion of the screen to look at:twisted: The picture quality was pretty shabby though. Overall I think it is really fun, I liked it more than I thought I would. The levels are a little too big for only 4 people, so that kinda hindered things.

Hah, actually no, as, I had forgotten all about having the free copy, up until this post, I just now went to download/install steam, miraculously remembered the password for my account, and, then went to the HL2 option under games (coming soon), then selected that activate already purchased key button, or whatever it says, typed in the reg. code from the ATI insert I had scratched off a while ago, and, it went through, cool deal.

musta been because the release date used to be nov 1st. times change as they say, and so have you, I think I'd rather CRUCIFY THAN LEARN!

Take so much away from inside you! Makes no sense! You know he can't guide you! He's your fucking shoulder to lean on! Be strong!!!

yeah, a little late on this one...

i'm glad to say, that i'm not technically a jersey girl (yay being born out of state!) . i just live here (which to some, might qualify me as one, but still, i was born in st. louis, last time i checked, that's not jersey.)
and yes. jersey sucks. hate it. so dumb. nothing to do. ever. i'd much rather be elsewhere, anywhere else really. with the rediculous laws regarding child abuse, and rape and all that, the rediculous drivers, crazy expensive car insurance, and just so many dumb people... well, jersey just sucks. period.

Good-Evil's review of Halo 2 (http://www.good-evil.net/reviews/games/halo2.htm) - My friend who reviewed it was really disappointed, considering he was one of Halo's biggest fans. Surprisingly, I haven't seen many other sites giving it any shit. just throwing praise at it because it is hyped doesn't add up to me.

touche, fan of canadian skit shows

creepa, I was slightly dissappointed as well, the graphics were... well, they didnt wow me. Maybe it was because I was doing coop and couldnt see well, but the gameplay was STILL repetitive, and the maps, although newly textured, we still just, walk through various similarly built rooms and shoot people in the head. Although these two facts ARE what made the first entertaining, its nothing groundbreaking. I wont go out and buy an xbox just to play a game I may like on a hulky clumsy controller that in the way of assico, just feels like a cancerouse testacle. I will put forth the effort to pirate the fuck out of it when it comes out for pc tho...
