Half-life 2 Or Source

Abra

to avoid the destruction of mankind i finalize the threads info:
----------------------------------------------
HL2 runs on the Source engine.

There isnt a thing called the Half-Life 2 Engine... course thats the SOURCE ENGINE.

However you could choose to call it the Half-Life 2 engine, course thats the engine of the game thus the half-life 2 engine... wich is source engine.

erhm:

HL2 engine = Source

Source = engine of HL2

The game is the sequel to Half-Life. They couldn't call the game "Source". Nobody would understand.

Why does a thread which was answered in the first reply have 3 pages?

That's not the way it goes.

HL1 ran on a modifyed quake engine. Its .exe does not say quake.exe <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

wnn

The HL2 Engine is powered by the source engine, every <u>MOD</u> thats gonna be made for HL2, is powered by the HL2 engine. Every commercial game made with this engine, is so called to be using Valve's source engine.

My 2 cents

PHOTO CHOP!

your car is called leetvan,, but its engine is build by opel ..thats nobody calls your car "opelenginecar" its much easier to call it leetvan, because its a leet name for a product..

there will be different cars later using the same engine.... nobody will call those cars "carwiththel33tengine,theleetvanused" it will get its own name , but the engine is still lettered with source..ehm...opel

absolutely not

its to visualize the logical fact that a game doesnt give the engine its name...

and ive labeled the car not for the fun factor...think about the similaritys of a car compared to a program.. if thats to hard for you ,to think about it before you post some ...spam, instead of something topicrelated, i could help you a bit with my twisted mind

Folks, if you have the mental fortitude to discuss semantic issues over four pages, you might wish to relax a little... Or start studying law.

Ice9

I've decided to change this discussion somewhat...

Would you guys like to make a petition to name the engine for HL2 and CSS to the "cheese" engine?

It would fit better...

I'm not sure how people find this so hard to get.

The Source Engine is the engine that the game runs on. It is the code to determine how things should act when they're thrown into the air, what should happen when people run into a certain class of object, it is the code that is neccessary so when you click, it fires a weapon, that aims somewhere, that impacts upon where you aimed, that deals damage to what you aimed upon, which lowers the health, which kills the person, which changes the model and changes that person into dead spectator mode..

Halflife 2 the game is the world, the story, the adventure. From that base code which makes the game possible, this is where the models, the textures, the weapons, and the maps come into play. This determines what gun you fire, how much damage the bullets do, how much health the other guy has, what his models look like, what the world you run around in looks like.

Counter-strike:Source is the above. It uses the Source engine, as well as some HL2 game code [and old CS code] i would imagine.

While this post didn't actually add to the main thread there seems to be some kind of mutant thread forming on the tail end of this one like a conjoined foetus. it will be amputated soon, in the meanwhile I thought I would thank sheena yanai for putting a smile on my face.

It should be the cheese engine. It's tasty, it goes with anything, and those that are intolerant should just steer clear!
