The game is only rendered by clients. Otherwise, servers would need good GPUs.
"Everything rendered at once for multiplayer" is a myth that refuses to fade away. Multiplayer is rendered just like single-player - whatever the engine deems "visible" is rendered.

No. I'd need like a few hundred of them, and if I lost one, i'd be fucked. Same with DVDs too, but I can't burn DVDs.
Whatever.That was the stupidest response ever. You claim that Half-Life is now "infiltrated by Steam" so Srry offered you a solution: Steam-less WON-based Half-Life.
lol, hard drive failures. All of my hard drives work fine:
500MB (Power Mac 7200/75)
4GB (iPod mini)
10GB (IBM Aptiva)
120GB (Current HP)
250GB (MyBook)
I've dropped each one at least a few times, turned off the computer while writing a big file, etc. That doesn't make me careless though, I make backups.

What's the name of this new copy?
Uh, when was the last time you (Jahzel) did something mapping related, or gave advice or helped someone with a mapping problem? Or talked about mapping? This IS a mapping site, after all. Obviously its fun to talk about other stuff, but come on.Zing!
The cucumber cartel leaders run the CIA, and they're after Jahzel, that's why Jahzel is so eager to spread the truth.
Thousands of people die from fans every year! Never mind highway safety, we have a national FAN DEATH CRISIS on our hands!!!!!11!1!!1!!one
Well, we (Americans) believe in the notion of "terrorists," so "fan death" isn't that zany.
Refuse to allow your politicians to continue occupying Iraq, and they'll come ... to blow up our Ford dealerships and McDonalds.

Wow, what crap. "Fan death"?! It "sucks the oxygen out of the room"?!
Hunter wants "God" to come over and scientifically prove that he/she/it exists.
That picture could only be more fake if it were done in Paint.
Luke:
The media loves to harp on (incredibly rare) suicidal cults. Besides the fact that it's a death and gloom type of story, there's a "satanic"/ drugs/ mind control connection to reinforce cult stereotypes. There's a very obvious slant againist non-mainstream religions in mainstream news.

Errrr...New drivers & DirectX build (isn't CS an OpenGL game?)
That 20-30 fps was on a map that runs slower than average CS maps. I was using my 1280x1024 monitor instead of the built in 1280x800.
That was with my MX440 desktop

Lowering the resolution will really help cut down memory usage, but windowed mode will cause more problems.
Can't Half-Life 2 be run in DirectX 6 mode? http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/DirectX_Versions
Damn, I thought I had it bad with a DX7/ 64MB card. This 8600GT mobile is pretty nice though.

It's not about creating a open space (performance and gameplay will suck), it's about creating the illusion of one.
This : http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=subscriber_agreement scares me from the idea of Steam purchases.
Luke: Wtf? You don't just share your copy with your brother?
Penguinboy: Fuck buying over Steam.

Yes, I can have another Half-Life 2 CD key ... to give out to my friends who either have one, or think gaming is for losers.
I don't care about Team Fortress 2 & Portal. I'd like to see Episode Two for $15, in a box.
Strider, you sound like one of those VALVe fanboys.
"wowowow! 5 gamse for only 50 dollars. i would give valve 200 dollars if i could"
"guys, i hear COUNTER-STRIEK 2 comes with the black box. calm down, it's worth 50 dollars"

It's ridiculous how hardware and software sales drive each other. Nvidia and AMD could have so many more users if they brought the price of a good GPU to $200, not this $550 (new dell laptop) crap. I guess it's like Segways: pwny experience for the few who can afford to waste money. For the rest of us who have bills to pay or just common sense, lag.

I could use this to re-sell my copy actually, but i'm afraid VALVe would notice and disable my account lol.

Oh well, Bioshock, UT3, Crysis, Halo 1+2+3, here I come.
World Crafter: Yeah, I think VALVe pulled that "give the CD keys to your friends" excuse out of their ass. That's what guest passes are for, we don't need to waste $30 doing that. I could of course, download a copy from the other digital distribution platform, and give the purchased to my friends.
[GtB]Blitzkrieg: I'd sell you my (used) retail copy of Episode One for $5, but Steam does not alllow this.

Hmmm let's compare:
PC Gaming
+ Is a Windows capable computer: web browsing, typing, able to use mods, able to make mods, VoIP, IM
Xbox 360
+ Runs only games, that means very few technical difficulties and all your computing
+ Simple
+ Price. $350 and some accessories are still a whole lot cheaper than a comparable computer plus the cost of upgrades. In order to be able to play the latest games enjoyably for 5 years, it's about $1500 up front, and then maybe two $200 upgrades down the line. Computers use more power as well.
+ Exclusive console games

- Is a Windows capable computer: system maintenance, performance is wild, crashes, drivers problems, glitches, bugs, Steam, etc. One needs to sit down at desk, connect to plasma (burn-in!) TV, or deal with slow laptop GPU/ short battery life.
- Exclusive console games (Halo 2 counts here, that Vista port is nothing worth playing)
- EXPENSIVE!!! (If you want a good experience. Budget machines that cost more than a Xbox 360 means 800x600, low settings, and lag - not my idea of a good time).
- Free online play
Xbox 360
+ Runs only games, that means very few technical difficulties and all your computing
+ Simple
- Loading times are like that of a low-end PC
- Pay to play online
- $60 dollar games that get their price lowered slower than PC games
- Controllers. Hate them or love them, I still think $1500 is worth the lack of a mouse controls and letter keys. I heard UT3 will support them though.

Penguinboy is a Valve shill. My reason is principal (what the heck does looping sound crashes have to do with anything?)
I'll wait until Episode Two + Team Fortress 2 + Portal is offered at retail. I'm not bowing into their pressure. I could understand their move if it provided me with a benefit as well, but it's just trying to squeeze more money out of their customers.
On a similar note, iTunes knows it's selling a crippled product, so it provides a reduced price.

Kasberg, those games are from 2003. This is a new wave of games with much steeper system requirements. PC gaming is really expensive.
I'm considering one of those Xbox 360s. They've got HDMI ports and all the newest FPS games for just $350. While the games are $60, and joysticks don't allow for super fast aiming, it's still a heck of a lot cheaper than getting a cutting edge computer.

Up to date? Valve won over quite a lot of customers when they made DX6, DX7, DX8, and DX8.1 modes for Half-Life 2. It did take more effort to create these fallback modes, but more people could play, and thus, pay.
Luke: It was a pretty good machine back then, it wasn't some shitty budget box with only 4MB of RAM.

Even web browsing and word processing is something with skyrocketing system requirements. Windows Vista, Norton/ McAfee, Office 2007 and really fucking bloated websites (IGN, Myspace, Youtube, etc) need a rather formidable machine.
My Mac from 1995 is still a functional machine, but this rat race has made it a piece of junk.

Well, Half-Life has a lot of little tidbits you can miss. Whether they're worth your time is up to you.
It better be.
DoD:S had a huge hype build-up, over 40,000 people played it, and then everyone realized it was a waste of $20. The sadest part is the DoD:S official forums are less an exchange of ideas, more of a circle jerk.

Muzzleflash, I always keep a copy of all the GCFs for when Steam craps up. When i'm too lazy to get the drive, I reload from the CDs/DVDs lol.
No info comes up for that IP in Xfire. I'll try connecting to it now.
EDIT: Xfire says it's German. This is going to lag badly if I can connect.
EDIT 2: I couldn't connect.
