Everyone should e-mail Valve and let them know how much you enjoyed this short film. I REALLY hope these guys get brought in to work for Valve... I'd always hoped to see a Half-Life movie based on the Seven Hour War, though a movie set during the events of the HL2 series would be great, too.

You guys keep saying the same thing, that the AID couldn't be used for such and such a reason - and again I tell you that it would obviously be changed if it were used in EP3. Is that so hard to understand? We don't know what EP3 is going to be like. Valve has said a few times now that it...

Man, lose the arrogance, this discussion will go much smoother as soon as you do. The AID could be implemented as a modified version specifically for EP3. We don't KNOW what EP3 will be like, for all we know Valve is going to give us their first free roaming area (like they attempted with the...

I think you're underestimating it. The AID monitors your ever action, compares it with ever action of your teammate, and decides whether it's time to give you a bit of a break in the action or some health/guns/ammo, or completely butt rape you. Ever notice that when you play with a group...

You guys are assuming that if they used the AI Director that it would function exactly the same as it does in L4D. I imagine that Valve would find a very clever way to implement the AID.

Hey, here's a tip: Your opinion isn't fact just because you feel strongly about it. Lazy writers? Maybe you've missed the gallons of atmospheric story telling throughout the game. The warnings in the airport about wearing your masks... the burnt out buildings elsewhere in the city...

Not that it matters to you, but you're officially my favorite person on the board now.

I am probably wrong on this, but it sure seems to me that the director keeps track of your overall skill level not just in the game you're playing, but in the games you've played... I've noticed that when I'm playing with a bunch of noobs, the game is pretty easy, but when I'm playing with my...

My team did this in a match I played recently. The infected still gave us hell and ended up winning not long after. Even though you skip the horde, all it takes is a couple boomers to make it just as hard to get past. It takes time to knock down the door, and in that time, a good infected...

Just when I thought people were already obsessive enough about finding problems in ANYTHING popular... I click on this thread, and witness a new bar being raised. Congratulations, you're officially the king of stuff that nobody cares about.

1. Server connectivity problems are largely due to the vast number of terrible servers out there. It's not a fault of the game, it's a fault of 3rd party servers. For every 1 bad server there is for Left 4 Dead, there are 5 for Team Fortress 2 and 10 for Counter Strike: Source. The only reason...

This, only spelled "tourniquet". ;)

The only boss infected I've witness suicide is the smoker. For example, we've just had a battle with the horde and a smoker attempted to snare one of us, but his tongue gets cut off, and he shuffles away to hide. We'll finish off the zombies and continue on, and then suddenly we'll hear...

If you're in a gun store you'd better understand that difference, and if not, you shouldn't even handle a firearm. ANYWAY you guys are completely missing the point. If I'm in battle, there's explosions and gun fire going off and I run out of bullets, I'm going to shout to my buddy...
