[Spoilers]Post your HL2 screenshots

SPOILER - - -






































Did anyone else notice the absence of the water beast shown in the trailers? I was looking forward to taking that down.

According to the Prima book that came with my Collectors Edition, the Hydra (as it was called) was cut from the game because while it was cool as hell to watch it fight other players, the developers couldn't find a way to make fighting it in first person any fun. They pretty much fully completed it however before they decided to cut it.

Ken Birdwell stated, "Cutting it was personally very painful, but I had to do it, when a design just isn't working, it just isn't working. I'd still like to see this in the Half-Life universe somewhere, maybe rethink its AI more along the lines of an Antlion."

A pity, I was really looking forward to that critter as well.

Here are my latest screenshots, if you haven't played up to the Nova Prospekt or Entanglement...

They could've made it so that you had to do certain things to kill it, like the 3 legged beastie from HL that you killed with the rocket. It could be killed by doing certain tasks to turn on some electricity-related object underwater... Merh, shame it's gone. The whole "storm the barricade" with Barney was changed as well, I think it looked better in the vids. Bah.

Pose for me, baby.

Such emotion in that picture.


Anyone know the spawn cheat for the uber gravity gun?

[FearTheAtlas]

I don't, but I'd worship the person who finds it.

[Fragmatic]

*sigh*

sv_cheats 1
map d3_breen something... check with maps command

So then you get it the gun.

Then you have to choose map again to go back to a different level to use it.

Load a map where you have it, then type "changelevel <level>"

you'll start on that level with the uber grav gun.

Edit: I think I have heard that bad things might happen if you save, and dont try to pick up a buggy/airboat/combine APC

[FearTheAtlas]

Hmm...tried doing that, and when I went to canals_01...the crowbar, when I hit a combine...they acted like the secondary fire of the combine rifle hit them , they dissolved and so did their gun. BUT! No gravgun

[Hezzy]

saw that while browsing another forum

One I just did now:
