hehe tei you typed that like you have been on a coffee fuelled HL2 binge. I
have images of you typing frantically occasionally throwing your head back in
manic laughter whilst drooling at the keyboard.

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] HL2: first impressions
My first impresion:
A M A Z I N G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^H
more impresive than these leet "intro/demos", some images look
photorealistic enough to fake the brain and eye.
Good artisting and coding work! (more than GOOD, this is ART with
capital letters)
Some critics:
- some sine surfaces on rough metal or wood, not everything its like
metal or glass,.. I see some abuse of that feature. Other than that, I
love much even the overuse of this feature, Its pretty.
- the installer its dooooooomed, slow as dead, you have to wait eons to
install.. Reminds me the tape version of "F-111 Fighter Bomber" for C-64,
you need to wait 3 hours tape-loading to play the level 3. The HL2
installer takes too loong.
- the DRM thingie, I am a open source zealot so everything DRM freake
me, I also love this game and the Valve work so its dificult to me to
accept something. I think the idea of "internet required to play single
player" its doomed. Some people dont have internet at home, so can't play
this game. People on far town on mountains, etc.. not everyone on the
world has internet. Bad idea to require internet.
Some positive critics:
- I love the game inmersion, that its lotsa cool, reminds me Doom3 but
with lights-up and with a european style city. Has a european guy, mi
city looks similar to this city, I love that.
- Good under-use of weapons and monsters, I suspect this game has tons
of good weapons and foes, but you can play 4 hours with only 3 types of
enemys and 3 types of weapons. Thats is amazing.
I am still playinng....
