More Screenshots. YAY! !

I just want the game already

Meh~

/me wants _new_ videos

CMON ALREADY, RELEASE THE GAME!!!!!

"Late Summer" as posted in the forums isn't a release date...its nothing but an estimation. I think come E3, we'll finally see some new footage and a solid release date. I must say though, those screenshots are looking mighty sexy!!!

thoes are OLD like a year +

What month is "late summer" exactly?

the games does not look that impressive anymore, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is the new HL2 for me.

Late summer where I am has just happened. No Half Life 2, so I guess it slipped, or perhaps another case of not being able to see beyond your own continent.

The water looks great, as does the lighting. Pretty.

I especially like the Half Life 1 helicopter tribute shot!

koan

mmm wide screen goodness

Far Cry throws HL2 out the door. Because they took so long, the game won't seem good anymore when it DOES come out. They'll sell half as many copies as they could've. Idiots.

Yes because those pictures had to be taken in the highest quality possible and there is tons of aa and everything else in those screen shots...

Looks pretty bad now, far cry is better looking

Im waiting for battlefield2 anyway, that will be the king

I would love to get the game, but prob is I'm poor, only make $6.75 an hr for 40 hrs a week, it's enuff to pay for my rent, food, gas for my car, utilties, etc. and my EQ fix.

By the time it comes out, of course, my machine won't have the horsepower to handle it!

Hope I land a better job someday soon.

theres a leak out you know...

go play that if you can't wait, it will put u right off hl2

yea cooool

Hmmmm... Nothing impressive, sorry!
Doom III looks much much more interesting.

oooh more pictures... I just hope Gabe Newman keeps his word and this is release this year because there are some conflicting rumours around at the moment wheather this is being release this year... Gme still have TBC on their release date sheets the same for Game Station... All we can is pray for a release this year... and hope

Dunno why they turned down the quality in those shots. Perhaps they're hiding a huge graphical overhaul that will be unveiled at E3..

Yeah, the level design sucks. That's because of Valve's 'pipeline' production method that means levels develop over time from ugly concepts to the final design.

Half Life Forever is really getting old, and it's not even out...

does anyone else think that the new screenshots make it look like Painkiller (industrial levels)? considering that they both use Havoc physics, and similar graphics I'm not sure where HL2 will innovate.

Sorry..Too little too late.... Half-Life was supposed to be a revolutionary game. But with games like Far Cry, Maxpayne 2 and others, Half-Life 2 is just another FPS....

Are this new screenshots suposed to be impressive? cause they surely didn't impressed me!

umm... the ground textures suck. look at the first screen shots. the leafs :-/

and the water isn't crashing into the cement. hmmmmmmmm...

the humans/aliens/enemys are impressive and look very flexible, but the environment im not really digging.

I hope it comes to the xbox.

Looks good enough for me, I am definately buying this game

ok... first this is getting stupid....
IMHO they should think about redoing it entirelly.
Seriously, the screenshots looks empty, and the textures... well damn I've seen a lot better.
I don't know if valve has looked has farcry (and i'm not saying that the storyline is good here) but at least for the in-game environment (tecturing, sfx, modeling, etc.)
and if you've already played the alpha, you know there's nothing really innovative in the game play (same linear storyline, F6 to save, F7 to load, etc.)
anyway i'm getting it for free (ATI) so I can'T complain really.... but i've been a fan of the first half life and i'm really disapointed to see that this sequel will just be "another" game on the market.
Anyone looked at S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ?? THIS is innovative and Valve should be jaleous because the in-game and graphics looks waaaaaay better than HL2.

Ok first off, It sadens me to see so many people so concerned that the graphics won't be better that the next game. I could give a **** about graphics, if the game is not fun, and keep me wanting to play, then I will NOT spend money on it. I say delay the **** out of Half-Life 2 and work on the replayability of it, and not just multiplayer.

I have to agree with djesteban, Stalker is one amazing sounding game. They have pushed the bounds of AI, added random quest generation, giving it replay value, something that hardly any game in the last 5 years has had.

have any of u seen the water in HL2! Its amazing!

lol, what's with the graveyard scene? that's some funky ****.

COME on guys by no means am i a Half-Life Fan but Does anyone recall a game that is still going strong and probably has more players THan Far Cry, Yeah thats right Half life and its mods... This game is going to be fun as hell shooting the **** out of Aliens it looks sweet the are also doing what half life one had the events thing when you get near a cart it may explode or something the AI is also going ot be pretty cool, My point is that its Just not about the graphics ,GAMEPLAY, but yeah the graphics are still up to date, but you guys are right they will soon not be, if they take any longer

i haven't fully played farcry yet..i played it a bit on a friend's pc, and i can't see no difference between it's graphic some other game..so i don't know why people keep saying that farcry has the best graphics bla bla
from what i saw, farcry has a lot of campaigns, so no continuous story line, of which HL2 has..HL2 seems to have very good physics though..so i think HL2 will be much better than any game (execpt doom3 - nothing beats those graphics (ok, maybe unreal3) and it seems to have a strong storyline and atmosphere) and about it's graphics, i don't have a pc capable of running everything at max so i don't give a **** about it..

interesting creature.

I got PCZone magazine in the UK today and they have an "exclusive" play of 3 levels and questions with Doug Lambrini who says that they are looking at a summer release and will make an announcement at this years E3

What a bunch of whiny kids. If you all really think HL2 is that terrible, without even having played it of course, then don't buy it and don't bitch and complain, because I certainly don't want to hear it.

Congratulations to all of you whom are not true gamers.

Gameplay > Graphics.

Shame on you for judging a game thats not released yet entirely on its graphics.

Probably means there is another delay...lol

It is going to be another Unreal-2-like failure... The expectations are too high, and when the game comes out, even if it's decent, it will be badly criticized.

Atleast I have a few more wallpapers now

better late than bug infested

Eh...they'll ramp up the hype again at E3 very soon.

OMGWTFBBQ!

I think that HL2 will suffer the daikatana effects (take time to put the game in the market -> game is outdated).
In fact, now HL2 seem outdated!
