HL2 E3 2004 Full video here

[LOC Veteran]

wow

cs2 is so ****ing sick :D i wanna see a nice camera version of that so badly :D

Just to clear things up a tad, that is NOT CS2, that's CS1 running on the Source engine.

Gabe confirmed that all (offical) HL1 mods will be and are being ported to Source, including CS, DOD, TFC and HLDM etc. Opposing Force, Blue Shift etc are also being ported.

Fileplanet just put up a huge high res movie of all the HL2 showings at E3, it's 665 megs.

eep... the shortest wait time is 109 minutes!!!

I'll tell you right now, anyone who writes off HL2 after watching this video, is insane. The game looks absolutely incredible.

And CS on Source looks....just looks, words can't describe how amazing it looked. If any of you download this 24 minute movie, you won't be sorry. CS on Source is the final 1:30 or so of it.

I can't believe they are going to port all the old games to Source - just incredible good news. Half Life 1 with a complete visual overhaul - mouth drooling, mouth drooling. It's like getting expansion packs instantly for old games - now hopefully we won't have to pay extra for these upgrades if we own the original, but we'll just have to see.

In the 35mb video its only 4 minutes long which video has CS:Source in it?

[digital vibe]

The HL2 video was great! I can't wait tell this game arrives on store shelves if it does... ;)

its hard to say what all theyre doing. we obviously know that CS is getting overhauled, but they may just mean that you will be able to run the others in the source engine. i would doubt that they will redo all of HL1's graphics and everything for this, but you never know....

[sanctified Veteran]

Im going to kill the person that after seeing this say that hl2 its not impressive

"In fact, Newell promised that Source-reworked versions of all original Half-Life content, including Team Fortress, would be available "when Half-Life 2 ships."

Sounds like we're getting new versions with new graphics to me.

[Ryan Versaw]

maybe, its hard to say... i won't keep my hopes up though. HL2 and CS source is good enough for me :)

[JonathanVP]

All I get is sound and no video.

[Ryan Versaw]

i believe it uses the divx codec. http://www.divx.com

Is there any other place you can download the 664.2meg version besides FilePlanet, because I am not a member there.

[topher1078]

They've got the video up at IGN Insider - but you have to be a member there too. I'm sure there will be a torrent and other links soon.

[sgtLENIN]

I have Gamespot complete, but of course, they dont have it (yet). ******s!

[dreamsINdigital]

Hehe, I'm glad I grabbed the HL2 video while it was fresh... only had to wait in line for an hour... HL2 and CS: Source are absolutely stunning! :woot:

Watched this video this morning.

Well, lets just say my enthusiasm for HL2 has NOT dropped, and i'll be ready to lay the cash down at my local game shop for this the DAY it comes out!!!

This is all good!! Can't wait for halflife 2 in 2005 :D

I heard rumours that HL2 uses the Havoc engine or something, anyone know something about this?

[ANova]

I heard rumours that HL2 uses the Havoc engine or something, anyone know something about this?

Yes, it does. Havok is a physics engine that has been integrated into the Source engine. It allows for objects to be assigned a mass and weight so they can interact with the environment realistically.

Just to lay down a couple facts. CS Source is not CS2, it's merely CS converted over to the Source engine with redesigned maps. Valve does indeed plan to port HL1, all of it's expansion packs and a select few mods to Source as well. However, they plan on charging a minimal fee for it. If you buy HL2 they may allow you to download it for free off of steam.

[topher1078]

Sounds good. Where'd you get your info from?

[Glowstick]

I hope CS:S isn't the only multiplayer mode of HL2. I hate CS, and I don't want to wait for mods to finish to have some short time gravgun fun.

[biorK]

Soo.. Havok is integrated in the Source engine, does that mean there's really nothing new in Half-Life2? Like Painkiller that also builds on the Havok engine is as good as Half-Life2 can be?

Sorry if a newb question.

[topher1078]

Haha no not at all - Havok is just the base of the physics engine, to which they have tweaked and improved tremendously. Not to mention all of the new graphical detail which will make Painkiller look like the old Half Life in comparison.
