I heard there's HL3 in the final works .... yesssssssssssss

they need to put the tau cannon, the jump pak and the old xbow back in the game.

i watched a few videos of the "supposed" HL3 on you tube.
looks like a grayer, dustier version of HL2

Somehow I doubt I`ll be impressed I lost faith in valve four years ago Greek.

what many ppl don't know is that about 8 to 10 of our existing members back in 2004 just stopped playing when HL2DM was released. all of us were dissappointed and, rightfully so.

valve would've done better if they had just called the game something else other than HL2. because, despite the obvious connections between HL 1 and HL2 (Gordon, Barney, the G-Man, headcrabs), the two games have very little in common.

many of you may have never played HL 1. if so, you never used a tau cannon.
if you think the grav gun is awesome the tau cannon is infinitely better.
it allows the player to kill thru walls and propel himself in any direction rapidly.

HL 1 is "run always". there is no "sprint".
HL 1 has the jump pak which allows the player to run/jump quickly.
moving in HL2DM is like molasses compared to HL 1.

also, in HL 1 there is a server variable (sv_maxspeed) that allows the admin to make the player's movement speed even faster than the default.

sv_maxspeed is disabled in HL2DM.
totally sucks, as for player movement, you're stuck with being mired in molasses and no way to change it without creating a mod.

i won't even mention how badly valve screwed up the crossbow in HL2.

HL2DM gets super high grades for graphics and physics but other than that, valve "fucked up" a really good game when they released HL2DM.

as one might suspect, many ppl who never played HL 1 think HL2DM is the absolute greatest game ever. for those of us who played HL1 before HL2DM it was a huge letdown.

fortunately, Activision created CoD4. it gave our clan an awesome game to play that we all enjoy!

Couldn`t have put it better!

I don't remember where but i've seen a couple of videos that someone put the tau cannon in HL2 in one and on the other he put the "portal" gun in it. Both seemed to work flawlessly! I'll post if i ever find them again.

I really didn't know you were that disappointed HL2 . I did play Hl1 just the story line and a little of dm .. for the most part i played Return to castle wolfenstein .but cod4 is a good game ...

try crysis wars too when you get a chance
