Half-Life 2 at the Arcades

[Q(''Q)]

i agree with the guy who said "let the game move you, and use a light gun"

The people that wants Coop mode in HL2 doesn't need to worry.



The Sven Coop modification will be ported to Source!

Yes Co-op would be nice eventually, I run a Sven Co-op server myself and know how much fun it can be. But co-op would have delayed the game even further and I think none of us wants that. It can be added later, either by a mod or if valve decide to do so themselves.

how bout we see what it looks like first before we go about judging it with our lollerskates...



just calm down and think of yourself playing halo2 and/or halflife2 very soon...



itsn't that a great feeling?

[ShittingBasterd]

I dont use lollerskates..

I have a Roflcopter!



And the only thing i can think about right now are my grades and

the fact that my graphic card can't even support Pong.

co-op for the singleplayer campaign wouldn't require that much more coding by the HL2 team, actually. it COULD be coded for lan-only Co-op in about 30 minutes, but putting it online would require a lot more, since they'd have to redesign some aspects of the game to compensate for lag.

And you're able to visit a (relatively) graphic intensive site like CSNation?



You've got to be shitting me.

when will valve learn that they'll sell more and have a less bitchy community if they'd just listen to their bitching? 3 reasons why Doom 1 & 2 sold so much:

1. gore

2. co-op mode

3. co-op mode



why the hell can't valve make a co-op mode for PC? Sven co-op works, why not HL2? It's SOOO FREAKING OBVIOUS!!!

A mod team already working on half-life 2 deathmatch. And of course Sven Coop will be your co-op. Actually, I see some sense in what Valve is doing. Valve realizes that the mod community basically soared half-life. So if Valve made half-life 2 co-op, sven coop would basically be ruined because who would still play sven coop if there was a hl2 co-op? I heard somewhere that Valve was working with Sven Coop some way or another but I'm not sure. Basically I think that Valve wants to see the potential of the mod community. Valve doesn't always know what the community wants, so mods made by the community would be a better generalization for valve to know what the community wants. Maybe, probably not.

I see it that a light gun game, nay rail gun will work in this kind of game. I think something along the lines of a virtual reality thing would work out, giving the player complete 90 degree periphial vision, complete with a treadmill to duplicate the act of running around places.

i want a light gun game esque time crisis :)

[HitmanCodename48]

well, i understand valve working with mod teams and fostering the community, but i was thinking from a marketing perspective. if you ask me valve ought to take sven in as an official title for HL2. you know, like it did every other title it owns other than HL1 (roll eyes). serioulsy though, hl2 is going to have its own counterstrikes and day of defeats, and i believe sven ought to be one of them. as for the HL2DM mod, i'm all for those guys, but am i the only one who thinks it's really really silly for them to have had to do that? HL2 should have come complete with DM and CTF at least. i mean jebus, what's up with valve these days?

There are still arcades around? Damn... how.... Life-Less....



Must be big in Japan still... crazy japs... they still think the Sims is the best game.

It would be awesome if they went all out and there was like 10 square feet in the arcade dedicated to Half Life 2. You're in a treadmill and that's how you run around... See a buggy/car and you run over to the driving box next to the treadmill. A dunk tank to swim around in. All with a wireless handgun and you'd have a game that's out of order 24/7!!!



Anyway, there are many ways that they could interpret HL2 into the arcade... and I hope I get to play it. 2005? Cmon, it'll be delayed until 2007.
