They act as plane wings.? If you think about it ub3rbr0k3, its quite amazing feat that we can get a 747 to fly in the sky despite its tremendous weight and overal unstreamlined look. It seems physically impossible for such a hunk of metal to fly like a 747 yet it does, so just leave imagination to no limit, there are forces unseen that make this alien craft fly? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> You are correct. Wings do serve the function in getting extreme heavy load such as the 747 airborne. However, let us not forget that, in order to bring a 747 in to the air, the aircraft must be going at very high speed. If a 747 stops and changes directions like the creature did in the video, we'll have a tragedy. The pressure difference over the wing and under the wing will be the same, thus the force of gravity will bring the plane down.
However we can also conclude that the alien creature can hover by itself, using some sort of an in-born anti-gravity technology, and that the huge fan only serve a purpose as to change the creature's velocity.
Ah, when the Strider did that vortex cannon thing or whatever and blew up the overpass in the last movie, omg. You could actually see the distortion!! Then the dude pulled the LETTERS off of a building's logo or whatever and started throwing them with the gravity gun.
Man, if they take out that gravity gun, it won't be worth it! I can just imagine the number of times I will die while not paying attention and just hurling stuff all over.
To the person, who said the hud looked FUGLY, <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->
IMHO the hud is clean and simple and it adds to the cinematic like atmosphere that is already present in this UNBELIEVABLE game. Only worry I have is that in order to have such crisp and clean graphics, I will have to up my dusty Geforce 4 ti to a Geforce 10. This game is totally worth the long wait, heck I would've waited another year or so.
And another note or suggestion to this still developing game, code the guys in the city scene to run, duck, jump and go berserk, when they are fighting the HUGE crawlers, because I sure would have. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Judging by the tech advancements valve has made in their engine, I deem it is possible.

hey everyone... glad to see you all are enjoying the HL2 footage. I was at E3 and dashed for the Vivendi booth to catch HL2 as fast as possible... to make a long story short, it was not being shown there, only at the ATI booth in which I had to wait 5 HOURS to see.
Very, very impressive... a buddy of mine had a DV cam, but was off trying to silently record the Halo 2 footage. NOTE: MS was very bitchy about any type of amera going in.
On day 2, I had his cam and bolted for the ATI booth and found that I was to wait 2 hours to catch it again, so I said screw it. The presentation was 25 mins long. My question is, does anyone have a link to the full presentation in a file? I'm not all about the gamespy/gamespot footage, due to the fact that they left parts out of the demo that was shown.
This makes me even more excited about HL2 when I see videos like this. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Thats the link to the full video of HL2, but its only for subscribers of fileplanet. Can anyone host this file anywhere else?
thanks!! <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Well wont matter if youv got a subscriber account anyway, my friend tried and there are no download servers with it there even for subscribers.
If it suddenly works, I'll try and get it to someone to host.
Anyone think we gonna see Adrian Shepard? I hope so because he was so cool... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> And I want to know what happened to him.

GOGOGGO HL2

And thus the civil war begins.

I think it was something that the Combine use. (Like the militarys apache)
We like to get stuff of the other links people post!

hope your friend can afford the bandwidth while hosting this....
Hold on I just thought of something.
It would be so cool if you played Adrian Shepard and had a team of grunts exactly like the Opposing Force ones running around with you.
That would be amazing.

When its done I'm gonna get some popcorn.
So anyone willing to host the file?
Still maby there will be some add-on like before.
***Silly idea here***
Maby you could play as a headcrab and gain abilities as you mutate!
***End Of Silly idea***
Someone please upload the high-res 500mb video. Please. please please.
If gamespot has the same thing I can get it, but as of now they just have the cammed version.
Maybe Shacknews will get it soon. They don't watermark their stuff either so it'll probably be better. :)
