Wow, cool.

#2 Cyco on 20 Jul 2003 - 23:14

Those are all vidcaps from that loong HQ video, no? So they're really not new screenshots as much as vidcaps from a now somewhat old clip.

#3 kairon on 20 Jul 2003 - 23:24

WHOA! Score one more customer for Valve, I'm in.

#4 blackice912 on 20 Jul 2003 - 23:30

It's just the E3 video, but still pictures.

#5 Solarix on 20 Jul 2003 - 23:40

theres bound to be a leak soon

#6 blachole on 21 Jul 2003 - 00:16

cant f'n wait ::drools::

#7 The Hermit on 21 Jul 2003 - 00:54

Yes just still frames from the video they released. If you want the video you can get it from Fileshack or Fileplanet. You can also just search Half-Life 2 E3 Video on google.

As everyone else says ... Its nothing new, these are all old and rather poor quality screen caps from the leaked E3 video ... in fact if you want better screen caps check the 'official HL2' thread here on Neowin ... Redrope is doing a damn fine job

No offence Malebolgia, but this is a rather poor news post

#9.1 malebolgia on 21 Jul 2003 - 06:48

None taken

The new Bink movies are better

#10.1 divertom15 on 21 Jul 2003 - 12:54

Yeah i would agree to that

the bink vids are really breathtaking. For ppl who dont know what were talking about its a buch of video clips that are being released over Steam download it then go to games then click half life 2 movies they look incredible since all the settings are obviously turned up in the game you can see it the best it will look and thats not something most of us can do

These are high quality vids of the e3 demos.

#11 Dessimat0r on 21 Jul 2003 - 03:18

Looks like crap, if you ask me.

I do hope my computer runs this better than it ran Unreal II.

#12.1 Marduk on 21 Jul 2003 - 05:08

ditto

#13 LVirus on 21 Jul 2003 - 05:24

Welcome to the Last Week, eh ?

#14 HaLoHaLo on 21 Jul 2003 - 05:45

Check the last 3 ones .... they are new ... I AM SERIOUS ... >o< cant wait anymore ... lets break into Valve HQ and steal the game

wow...so much hype...I HATE hype...it kills the game's flavor by lifting the game too high...then letting it freefall when you buy it...

#15.1 DOCa Cola on 21 Jul 2003 - 11:10

just like tiberian sun that time

#15.2 nookadum on 21 Jul 2003 - 14:35

Tiberian Sun was good man. Better than Red Alert 2, IMO.

#15.3 DOCa Cola on 21 Jul 2003 - 16:22

not for all, i heard many people just expecting to much from this game it they don't like it afterwards cause many features they have expected were never in the game, also it was too slow on some computers after having much units and music was too melancholic.

#16 EnIgMa-PenGuIn on 21 Jul 2003 - 08:10

im hoping thats just poor quality sceen caps or eck lols ^_^ i just hope they resolve those problems soon

#17 kemical on 21 Jul 2003 - 11:47
