Remember in the tech demo when they said we could make anything we wanted out of any material? Remember the person made of water and the fire went up behind them and you could see them?
what ever happened to that? I need to make stuff like that out of water and different materials. what gives? anyone have any idea how to do this stuff?

Well obviously this sort of thing isn't possible in Hammer, but it seems that models have a decent materials system- i.e. whip out that copy of XSI and make some fire people 
Actually, all these things are
there.
There's a physics manipulator gun (I'm sure they used
it for development only) which allowed you to combine physics objects
and use them together.
And YES you can make hundreds of
different facial animations, Omega, how do you think people make
mouth movements properly in game? And there are many many many more
then just 20 in ALL characters. Not just major ones.
But, anyway, I believe they were showing the engine capabilities, not what was available for editing. I'd imagine you could do some coding to make the entities. But that would lead to a mod. So, as Lep said, Models would be your best bet.
