What Vehicles?

[DEATH eVADER]

I'm hoping to see some spaffin' great vehicles in HL2. Personally, I would be content with driving around in a buggy with a giant gauss cannon to back me up.

But heres the problem, what vehicles will feature in the game?

The buggy is the only vehicle I know that you can drive. I was wondering if you can drive that APC in the E3 show, that tram as well, and that concept art of that futuristic tank?

I mean, there would be nothing more humiliating than speeding away from a strider in a working Skoda (It just wouldn't happen)

What vehicles would you like to see in singleplayer and multiplayer, and why?

 

[Stormy]

i hope there are some moter bikes that would be sweet.. and a norml peddel bike anyone ever use the bike in operation flash point ahaha soo funny so funny

i would love to see some air vehicles, like an attach chopper or an air baloon or somthing dogy like that

There has to be a train scene, any self respecting action film needs one. (crank up the lever, till the train is at 125MPH)

LMFAO !!!!!!!

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I've got it, I've got it, unicycles. you have to balance by moving the camera up and down. LOL

Is there some sort of underground metro, I hope you can go underground.

"The strider is gaining on us. Freeman, peddle faster!"

Heh, you should play NOLF 2. :E

 

[Vegeta897]

A strider would be awesome to drive, imagine, 30 feet high up, looking down on the combine... "How bout a taste of yer OWN medicine!!!"
I need this game right now....

 

[Foxtrot]

Seems like a tank would take a strider out easily, just shoot off one of its legs.

 

[jonbob]

Something similar to a Banshee would be nice.

 

[Letters]

Anything with mega-fireworks is good.

LOL why is it I keep getting the image of Smithers and Mr. Burns on a Tandem Bike when i read that.

The Vehicle id like most to see would be some sort of ship.A Trawler or boat even as the "Docks" movie showed a large amount of water and there are screens of Antlions coming out of the water.
Maybe something similer to the boat in the Far Cry demo.

i like how valve said vehicles would be necessary, not just put there because they could.

 

[X-FacToR]

Wheres the fruit cart? Or how about the 1970's banana seat racer... ok maybe you prefer the vespa

 

[wendle]

Vehicles will be necessary because of teh large distances needed to cover in the HUGE maps. Thats just an awesome concept.

 

[kaf11]

agreed wendle

Ouch!! That doesn't do the game any justice, neither does the Skoda concept, but there you go.

Maybe you would be able to make your own vehicles by using a welder and the manipulator. just add the neccessary parts in the right location, and, wey hay! you have your self a wooden box car, with no engine, no weaponry, no self-respect. Oh no, I just made an attrocity.

Actually, that would be a good idea for a mod, A kind of "Junkyard Wars"/"Scarpheap Challenge"

 

[Stormy]

its will be teh suck if your buggy gets blown up. would have to walk for miles

 

[Revisedsoul]

LOL why is it I keep getting the image of Smithers and Mr. Burns on a Tandem Bike when i read that.

lol

happy birthday mr. smithers

What is a skoda?

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Skoda is a manufacturers of cars in mainly Eastern Europe. Basically everybody in the Czech Republic drives a car manufactured by Skoda to some degree.

As recently as around four years ago has seen Skoda releasing new models in Western Europe. But everybody just LOL, took the piss, and said, "It ain't going to happen".

I think most of the cars that you have seen in the E3 vids are models developed by Skoda. Believe me, that ain't rust on the cars, thats how they look in real life, the twenty year old models anyway.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Jump in your rusted skoda, stick on the Beach Boys classic 'I Get Around' and hurtle through City-17 narrowly avoiding explosions and rockets and driving under a strider's legs. Alternitively, jump in your rusted skoda, stick on the Beach Boys classic 'I Get Around' and the car won't start. Such is life, eh? Make mine a ridiculous conveyance-contraption.

 

[Brian Damage]

Heh, it'd be cool if you could turn on the car radio. Or not, considering you'd probably get some eastern european station, if any.

 

[Voodoo_Chile]

Or else some sort of Hypnotic progaganda channel being broadcast from the Citidal.I wonder would they still be called Bob?

 

[Runteh]

I do not know why you lot are taking the piss out of skodas... they are quality cars now :/

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Okay, Okay, but you have to admit, the promotional adverts that were released in the UK were not being, well, promotional. They took the piss out of the cars. But then again you could have Metros (forgot the manufacturer of the metro). On the other hand, you could have Mercedes, which would be quality in an escape scene, or perhaps a converted one, with a gunport on the roof.

I'm having the distinct impression that there might be street racing cars (Ecaping from a strider in a Honda Civic and then activating the NOS)

 

[Foxtrot]

I hope they don't have crap like that...

 

[DEATH eVADER]

What, the Merc, the Metro or the Civic?

 

[Voodoo_Chile]

Im thinking all of the above

 

[DEATH eVADER]

It could be worse, you could be stuck with a horse?

Is it just me or did you get that from one of the fanfics around here...
I doubt there will be a variety of cars, this ain't GTA...
But it will be neat to see what Valve does with their air vehicles, finally I'LL be the one in the cockpit of an Apache taking out combine soldiers left and right, then I'd kamikazi right into the citidel! Mwahahaha...

 

[Voodoo_Chile]

No i didnt though sorry to anyone if it was similar.Also most of the cars in the videos seem burned out.

They said that there wouldn't be any pilotable air vehicles.

"Not a technical limitation, but a design decision"...

 

[kaf11]

that would be cool if just on one city street, one of the old rusted out regular cars actually started. then as you drove off a huge chase scene unfolds as you try to flee from gunships. adventure ensues. end scene.

 

[wendle]

Even if valve doesn't have a variety of cars, I want to see how other game makers use the source engine. GTA with source would kick arse! Any racing game really with the big outdoor scenes, drive anywhere, highly reactive vehicles. Racing games could bring valve a lot of liscences for their engine.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Have Wacky Racing, where you drive all kinds of crazy wonders, and the design of the interface allows you to create your own vehicle, allowing you to design the vehicle, according to aero dynamics and weight. Somebody has to recreate the Beverly HillBillies car.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

If you think about it, driving games seem extremely likely, the tracks or roads could be created by modders, and they would recreate cities and towns they live quite close to. Think MMORPG crossed with GTA.

Note: I didn't like the fact that the GTA engine couldn't simulate tank tracks for that tank
