Man, if they were to promise us a nice big open map like Coast and a buggy to run ppl over with, as well as the grav gun, and it worked without any serious lag, I would actually get excited about this whole thing.

I know Valve's big 'surprise'.... Ready??... Sorry, that was pointless, but I couldn't resist.

I used to work at a 5 star hotel in downtown. Anthony Hopkins stayed there while filming a movie (Hearts in Atlantis I think) for about 3 months. I saw him every day and it got to the point where we would stop and chat every now and again. One of the coolest, most down to earth people i've...

Man don't leave us hangin' like that! When's the next installment?

Man, this thread started out pointless and just went downhill from there... I like how people get really mad when they're informed how much they got ripped off. It's a nice PC, yes... nice for about 4 months. Was it worth all the $$$? Depends on who you ask.

I think you're wrong about the videocard. My 3dmark scores: 03: 10698 05: 4380 destroy yours with the 9800 XT. But maybe Warbie is right, it's the CPU... but my CPU isn't THAT bad, is it? Guess I will need to get a 64 at some point. Or... Maybe its the 128mb of video memory thats...

Yeah I noticed that too... Good point. Kind of weird that the mindless zombies display the most efficient AI.

Oh hell, someone close this thread before this guy starts making momma jokes :flame: :rolleyes:

Man, that gives me an idea. I can't imagine how many times i'll replay this game trying different things each time, or just slowing down to take in the scenery :)

I was just re-playing the Ravenholm level and noticed this cool effect that really adds to the overall atmosphere/realism of this game. When you are on top of the final building in Ravenholm, waiting for Father Gregori to send the crate across, the super-fast-mutant zombies start climbing up...

Sorry bud, it's just my opinion. I was really disappointed by Doom3. And I enjoy many games other than Half Life 2. But, these happen to be HALF LIFE 2 forums, and I'm here to discuss the advantages/disadvantages of HALF LIFE 2 compared to other games. Don't accuse people of possessing a...

Anyone else getting this? Either in larger outdoor scenes, or scenes where they are many enemies/characters in view, my framerate will drop from over 60 down to 5-10 (unplayable). Specs: Athlon XP 3200+ 1 gig Crucial DDR3200 Gigabyte Geforce 6800 : Forceware 67.05 drivers WD 80gb HDD...

Amen Brotha HL2 is the thinking man's FPS. Doom3 is for 11 year-olds.

Wait a second... are you actually defending Doom3's gameplay against Half Life 2's? HAH! I mean, Doom3 sure is purty and all... but c'mon man!
