We don't know, and we wont know until E3 in May.

Says Mr. Doug Lambardi (I think I spelt it right) from Valve.

But we can make this thread on what we hope is there lol.

SO, what do you guys hope is there with all this time they've had to remap, refine, and redo their game?

Besides TFC2 and DOD2 of course lol. [addsig]

Well that is what makes the source engine so powerful, is its ability to mod, there will be definitely more mods 4 HL2 than HL1.

There are 288 registered mods at the moddb already, compared to Half-Life's 415

Really, as long as they take full advantage of that spiffy engine, I'm set. I'm not totally bothered over new features rather than what we've seen in the videos. [addsig]

Fishy: Prima is already releasing a Mapping and Modding tutorial for HL2. It's like 20 bucks (U.S.) And the new hammer does look very nice, but it will never fix leaks for you lol. (sorry)


I just hope it doesn't need the CD to play (it most likly wont). I find that really annoying, thus cracking all the games I own, no more CD (and If I happen to do the same on my friends computer no one's the wiser lol).

I also want people on the steam forums to stop being morons . . . I know this isn't connected to features of HL2, but it would be nice lol. [addsig]

IMO, HL2 should come with editors for all game resources, ie. teh new hammre, the cool mouth movey thing they said was going to be there, a model editor, etc. etc.

And you shouldnt need steam to run it.

Hey! maybe theyre delaying HL2, not because its not done yet, its cos it needs STEAM, and STEAM isnt done yet!!!!! OMG ive found out your little scheme, Lombardi!

Steam isn't that bad and the current version of Hammer already works with it, just not intuitivly.

But I'm sure they're waiting also because of Vivendi being a demanding overpowering production company sure does take it out of you . . . [addsig]

Gameplay, I have nothing I really want. Any new features would be pretty good, but the original HL gameplay was excellent, so I suppose Valve already know what to do.

As far as the editing side goes, I'd like lots and lots and tons and tons of documentation. Official Documentation, written by the developers and in a proper format. Every feature clearly maintained, if possible. It should really help in making better stuff, IMO. Less guesswork, editors can spend more time on actual work.

This is what I was talking about:

Barnes And Nobel's Copy

EBX's Copy

I like how they have different publishing dates lol.

There also seems to be another book Prima is putting out called "Half-Life 2 Raising the Bar", interesting look here to see what I mean. [addsig]

I think they are on the right track with the 1player portion of HL2. HL1 was about intelligent interactivity with NPC's and the environment, and the Source engine seems specifically geared toward that kind of 1player experience. Maybe people will get into more 1player modding with HL2...?

I'm mostly concerned/irritated at the release delays. I'm also worried that no multiplayer portion has been seen yet, not even vanilla dm.

I thought they have soecifically kept multiplayer a secret? I mean, so that when you buy the game, it's a supprise... like the stroyline.

To answer my own question.

I want the thing to NOT come on a DVD-rom. I don't mind having four-eight cd's for instaltion (UT2K4 has 6 I believe).

Ubisoft is making this mistake with Far Cry, I'd might consider playing it if it weren't DVD only (I just don't want to buy a DVD-Rom at this time). [addsig]

I must agree. HL2 will need to be scary to have the appeal HL1 did.

I think it should come in CD and DVD editions. I do have a DVD-ROM, but I still dont want all you out there who cant be bothered getting one missing out!

Not to mention I've already purchased it lol. So, I actually don't have a choice. But, I know (obviously) if there was a DVD version there would definatly be a cd-rom version. because valve wants it to run on slower computers as well, and they most often do not have DVD-Roms, I'm just someone who doesn't want 2 cd drives. I don't care about burning on the fly BS, but I would still want to burn and stuff and I just don't have 50-70 dollars to go get a DVD-CDR rom.

Just me though, by the way, If HL2 was DVD only (which doesn't make sense, I just tossed it up there for the hell of it) I would absolutly buy a DVD-Rom, probably a new video card too ( need something for my SuSE box that can . . . run.) [addsig]
