x-byte Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 No, The Combine is not only humans. They have many forms. They are a collective race that collect resources around the universe and modify the races they come over so they are wourthy for their needs.

DrThodt Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 You know, I never got to see the Hydra, what the hell is up with that. And you know in the 'Beta' that map at dusk with the zombies on the plank and the crow you can beat to death. Never saw that either. Or the boat with those robots.

YBG Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Dr. Thodt, the hydra got removed because they couldn't create the AI for it, at least thats what I believe I read.

I never even heard about that other stuff. 585124110[/snapback] I've heard two stories about this. One is that they looked amazing but were really easy to kill so they took them out. Another was that they were insanely hard to kill so they took them out. Eh, go figure. One of those is probably right, my guess is the first one.

Monkeh Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I have a big problem with the brightness. Even if I set it to 1.6, I can't even read the third line of text. If I turn my monitor's brightness to max, I can only read the bottom line (faintly at that). No matter how much I adjust the brightness in the Catalyst control centre, HL2 remains just as dark. How do I increase the brightness/gamma in HL2??? :( Using Catalyst 4.12, control centre 1.0.1796.585 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/244594-definitive-half-life-2-thread/page/136/#findComment-585131522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 As I mentioned, I raised it to 1.6 and I still couldn't see the text properly (the 3 lines in the brightness/gamma window). Is there a way to raise it to 1.0 or something like that? :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/244594-definitive-half-life-2-thread/page/136/#findComment-585132118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
