Just downloaded and so far this is what i have to say: Good.
-bigger resolution -extra clips -no clicking on different files to watch, just one file to play.
The resolution is quite bigger and around double the size of the gamespot footage. Only problem is the picture is no longer sharp, but rather "smoothed" out and also the colours seem more darker and not as bright as the gamespot movies. None the less the download was worth the wait, because you get to see kickass scenes with the GMAN and I mean really cool scenes; the expressions are just CGI real and his face is complete with 40 muscles hehe. Other scenes, where you get to see freeman kill a whole bunch of headcrab infested zombies at the docks was neat, especially when they all get chopped to pieces by a fan and then burned in fire. Finally, the sequence, where hl2 really shows the soldiers AI and the part where they are smashed by a swooping hanging bar was awesome..

$1.95 for the first month of Mercury, plus you could try cs 1.6 if that's your thing. Hell for $2 I may get it just to have it, and I wanna see the new STEAM interface anyway.
No, I'm not being paid to advertise for them or anything silly like that, I'm just saying that this may be an alternative if you wish to spend a little $$ rather than deal w/ all the crap you deal with on P2P servers... I'm still debating whether or not to get this...
******** UPDATE ******** The file quality is **CRAP**. The pic is misleading as its the one time when the video is centered. the rest of the video is off center, and worse than that the camcorder wasn't even on a tripod. so it really is a shakycam...

I grabbed mine from one of the BT sites. I was working on an ftp from #hl2movies but the BT ended up being faster.
Which spinny things are we talknig about? 4:00 - Spinny effects thing 11:05 - Spinny propeller chops up aliens
Hmm--Looks like they chopped the tentacle thing off the end =(
Ahhh--found it. Video *4* from the other one. Hmm--interesting that they didn't include that bit of footage. =( Wonder if that was a mistake. I assume by "spinning things" you meant the flying beetle-like things.
Yeah, too bad they left that one out. However, just download the 500 MB one AND #4. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
There's also a supposedly *larger* one mentioned somewhere in this thread. Perhaps IT contains these deleted bits.
EDIT: Yes, there are parts that I haven't found in any other video in this huge one.
Well I have heard confirmed reports of a leaked Half-Life 2 demo, from a very reliable source, but Valve quickly shut down the links to the demo. Anyone finds it tell me where...

Just saw the 25 mins movie, real nice. But I only downloaded the 150meg file, because you needed to pay for the high resolution (500meg) movie. Thanks for the link DOOManiac.
Anyone got a link to the 500meg that you don’t need to pay for?
