I actually love playing with squad. That's why I liked Opposing force so much. The bad thing is that I can't order them around. I just wish I could order them to wait while I kill turrets or something. It ****es me off when they run to their death and I can't do anything about it.

You can order them around, just in a very limited way. If you point to a direction and press C (I believe that's the default) then your squad will go to that spot and wait until you move on.

I thought HL2 was incredible, best FPS ever and possibly the best game ever. However, I can't help but feel it could have been better. In contrast to HL1, it was lacking in a few areas. Valve removed quite of a few things like the OICW, the sniper rifle, the boat level, the hydra and many of the other aliens from the original. If I wasn't fighting the combine then it was headcrabs or zombies and not much else. It was also a little short and like some of you have said a little easy, especially the Citadel level which should have been the hardest, though I did enjoy hurdling combine into the abyss.

JBMod

He's working on getting all the beta weapons back in. So far, there's an improved physgun, and the stickygun has just been implemented again.

Time, Dr Freeman? Is it really that time again? It seems as if you've only just arrived...

You've done a great deal in such a small time span. You've done so well in fact that i've received some interesting offers for your services...

Ordinarily, I wouldn't contemplate them, but these are extraordinary times... mmmm?

Rather than offer you the illusion of free choice, I will take the liberty of choooosing for you, if and when your time comes round again.

I do apologise for what seems to you an arbitary imposition, Dr Freeman.

I trust it will all make sense to you in the course of.....well, i'm really not at liberty to say...

In the meantime, this is where I get off.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
