Hey guys I just made a major discovery, you guys all know that on the last level of doom2 the boss says "to win the game you must kill me John ?Remarro?" backwords, right. well in the pak 0 file for OP4 in misc there is a sound called "dsbossit.wav" that says in backwords "to win the game you must kill me Randy Pitchford" I notced that he was in the credits COOL HUH! mybe you could fill me in on who Randy Pitchford is. its to bad they didnt use that wav :cry:

P.S: dont you just love game easter eggs? I do it fills me with wonder.

PS P.S: Do any of you know who that guy is in that picture in the hazord course when you use your teleport gun on yourself when you first get it? He has a goatie and ping pong balls over his eyes. bye

1) The stupid arn't mighty.

2) There is no teleport gun in any of the Hazard courses for half-life.

3) The only thing I'm filled with is starch based snacks.

I think he meant the bit in OpFor, when you get the teleport gun (can't remember the name), there's a bit where to can tele port to the Hazard Course. Maybe he means that?

You only just figured that out?

anyway...

OP4 was made by Gearbox, so they are the ones who "really like Doom 2". All they did was copy the idea from D2...

To anyone else reading this, I think half-dude is referring to the part in op4 where you return to the original HL hazard course and its full of aliens and stuff. I enjoyed that, it was a cool idea. Dont know that picture tho, anyone who has too much time on their hands could look in the opfor.wad I suppose...

[EDIT] sorry, didnt see your post Kage. [/EDIT]

Yea Kage Thats what I ment about in the tele-gun. I was'nt sure if it was Valve or gearbox. Oh and Wi5son I've looked in the pak file and the name of that pic is something like "I beleave" that pic was in blueshift about two times 1.) in the bathroom at the beginning the "out of order" one, and 2.) at the top of the fallen vent when you first enter the old prototype lab. bye
