Half-life ii
Are you aware that Half-Life 2 has been announced? Released on November 10 (the day of the cops). GRAPHICS. Doom 3 compared to the second Halfa sucks. However, under what computers do Halfa? Afa version of Doom 3 slows down under Pentium 4. Whether it will still be! : wonder:

And even if it weighs 1 gig, then it may well be loose by 1.5 - i.e. standard 2 disks, or all 3 - this will look like an installation.

Well, as you know, on the Steam forum they think differently, they talk about the preload is just about downloading only part of the content by the
way, only 500 meters are loaded from the Internet, and 2 files appear in the steam folder: base source shared materials.gcf (gig) and
base source shared.gcf (50 meters), respectively, so maybe they already unzipped during the download process, at least partially
HL2 the further the more it becomes overgrown with secrets. The mystery of the whiteboard can even be rearranged into a James Bond screenplay. :);)
[quote name = "Strange"] In general, HZ what they messed up there, wait and see ... [/ quote]
Just to be clear, the cache is 500MB compressed on the wire, which is the number we track closest as it's the amount of data that will be moved across your internet connection.
Uncompressed, the files in this preload are around 1GB. For Half-Life 2 to run, they have to be in this state. The first preload event contains most of the textures that Half-Life 2 needs to run.
This is the first of a number of preload events. We'll be adding more data to the preload over the next couple of weeks.

so no shit this is not a complete game ...
I want to say that I have downloaded 23% of Halfa at the moment, and the Steam folder, where everything is swinging, weighs 1.04 GB. here. I do not know how much it weighed at first, and how much has already been downloaded in meters, but it's a fact.
the place is just apparently reserved in advance, in total, a little more than gig is
By the way, look at the screenshots - [url = http: //3dnews.ru/games/e3-half-life-2] http://3dnews.ru/games/e3-half-life-2 [/ url]. And compare with Doom3 and FarKray. If we understand these screens as the maximum (1280 * 1024 4xFCAA 8xANISO), the question arises, which graphics are more beautiful. Well, what can you say looking at these miserable screenshots? Half a year ago I saw screenshots of half2 - they said - from the game - they shocked me. But it turns out that probably not - according to the link, the game itself was tested, as I understand it - now rough crafts should be perceived as the game itself? In Duma3, which even at the maximum shook with hexagonal turnips and numerous smaller clumsy graphics and FarKrai, with numerous graphic simplifications (hello 2000) and, judging by the screenshots, we will face the biggest disappointment after the clumsy 3 Doom.
Hmm - interesting
[quote] Investigations of the possibilities of graphics cards in games on the Source engine, which serves as the basis for two flagship games of Valve Software: Counter-Strike: Source and Half Life 2, are not abating online. Perhaps the most consistent in its research was the site FiringSquad. recently published a sequel to the GeForce FX performance in the graphics engine benchmark.
In the first part, it was noticed that GeForce FX cards work in Source by default using shaders DX 8.0 and DX 8.1 (depending on the GPU), not wanting to switch to DX 9. However, after consulting Valve, the GeForce FX was manually transferred to the rails DirectX 9, and get screenshots comparing the performance of shaders of different versions. First impression: shaders of different versions are not "better" or "worse" than the other version. They look "different" and it is possible that some users will prefer the more expressive look of the previous generation shaders.
Also in this material is a summary table of the effects used by various branches of the engine code. Even if you do not know English, you will probably be interested to know what your card will be capable of in Half Life 2. [/ Quote]

Half-Life 2 Pre-Loading
September 2, 2004, 3:52 pm Alfred Reynolds
The second phase of the Half-Life 2 preload begins to Steam account holders today.
This will allow users to download the majority of the audio of Half-Life 2 in encrypted form. No purchase is required to pre-load Half-Life 2, but is required to activate the game. The moment the game is made available, those who have pre-loaded and purchased Half-Life 2 via Steam will be ready to start playing right away.
Everything is hot ... The campaign will soon go gold ... By the way, the 24th release will really be [url = http: //www.sendit.com/game/item/6000000000246] http://www.sendit.com/game/ item / 6000000000246 [/ url]
Yes, you were right about the incomplete, um, interesting, this time complete Or Not :)
the Update
Well now prroshla and third loading ... Campaign HL2 already quite close ...
Here By the way, the movie from E3, this time not a screen, but a full-quality version! [url = http: //www.3dgamers.com/dl/games/halflife2/hl2-coast.exe.html] http://www.3dgamers.com/dl/games/halfli ... t.exe.html [/ url]
Everything is known - beta testing is underway (when it's over, then HL2 will be released), I sometimes play on a blizzard - the same KS is only more beautiful ...
And I have already downloaded all three phases: razz: Still, it's okay to play it. And then I thought: if on the day of the release of the game it will be necessary to download something else, then what will be the load on the servers? There, in the statistics, the server speed is written 10000 Mbps. And sometimes it is busy. Maybe there will be one more phase, and everything will be downloaded?
I don’t understand you - why the hell to swing, when, in order for all this to work, you will have to pay money as for a license ...
This is all stupid Western logic. It is better to roll up a thread on blanks from someone or to buy a jewel version on a kraynyak in a jewel store.
