Make sure in the console you type "cl_bodycollide.." .. well just type cl_body, it will have something to do with the ragdoll physics of bodies, and they wont clip through eachother.

<img src='http://home.comcast.net/~somebody51/images/d1_canals_070005.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> I might think of a way to make this into a desktop background.
BTW, does anyone else get extra geeky by the fact that just about every screenshot you take looks awsome? I have to say that the HL2 level designers did an unbelievable job.

mip maps, multiple resolutions of a given texture which allows the lower resolutions to be used when quality is not needed, like when the object is far away.
the floor texture looks like a low resolution texture
btw, I love dog, he's awesome. I would love to play as dog, he has the best moves.
edit: also, one thing I love about HL2 that I don't think any other new engine has done is that captures from alternate locations to a screen near you not only include the video, but audio as well. You could be watching soldiers duking it out with other characters and hear everything!

The first time I tried taking cover (from a gun emplacement) it was behind a wooden crate, and I was on low health. God did that give me a scare when the crate was destroyed.
