erm i just saw another movie the one with the flying saw things. no idea what they were but the spark effects are amazzing. + it showed the bit in the screan shot where the water creature impales a bag guy. The lip synching and water effects are ground breaking. AND it showed flame effects when gorden set a enemy on fire with sum sort of nade launcher. heheh its quality.

What I found amazing was the character movment, it looked amazing. And the eyes and facial expressions (the last game that tried facial expressions, Soldier of Fortune 2, it was laughable).

Imagine if NS was ported to the HL2 engine. Imagine an Onos charging at you through a stack of barrels, and then having the barrels fly accross the room!
Or perhaps a cloaked Fade, distinguishable only by his shadow (or better yet, watching what looks like just a shadow running at you!).

and in another video, it picks up a dead soldier by the leg and swings him around heh.
i think its the 2nd gamespot movie but im sure the first thing picked up is just a cardboard box.
Its cool when gordon moves those antlion things with those bombs, sends lots to there doom into the sgs so gordon could get through with minimal dmg. dont have a high value for life they do, they just follow the scent <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->. shame that big thing came along and wasnt so easily fooled, poor gordon flew.

cloaking could be done like the char model that has the water texture on it u see in the tech demo.
another cool thing would be where comm could maybe place a certain ammount of cameras in places and they work just like the one in tech demo.

Think of how Day of Defeat 2 will be, and NS2! If the DoDteam goes back to their senses and makes DoD <i>not</i> suck, it will be the greatest mod in all existance on Half-Life 2.

Yes I watched about 6 of the videos and they were all pretty darn impressive. The camera was great, the ragdoll physics were nice, and I also liked how the matress would bend over/around other objects.
