Half-Life 2 will Debut at ATi Booth During E3

[GTaudiophile]

The game will make its public debut next month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the trade show of the gaming industry, at the booth of graphic chip developer ATI. A non-interactive theater will show gameplay (much like id Software and Activision (ATVI: Research, Estimates) debuted "Doom III" last year).

So i guess those rumors that HL2 will only run Nvidia cards is no longer.

More good news: With "Half-Life 2", Valve will once again offer the source code to modders.

Counter-Strike 2 anyone?

Counter-Strike 2 anyone?

Probably like a month after it's released

 

[EdipisReks]

Counter Strike 2 has been in development for months, apparently.

Well, at least might as well take advantage of a graphics engine that isnt from 1998.

If they redo Counter Strike on the Half-Life 2 engine and Valve cooperates more to help stop cheating I'll play it for sure. They'll have to port de_dust except make it look real nice .

You're not thinking of Counterstrike Condition Zero are you? Probably not as that's been in dev. longer for sure. If it's been in development that long, what engine? Any links?

obviously the half life 2 engine. i believe that the scanned articles that were linked elsewear on this forum mentions the fact that gooseman has been working on CS2 for some time.

Condition Zero uses the original (EDIT) Quake engine like HL1.

You've gotta be joking. HL came a LONG time before Unreal. It uses a heavily modified Quake I engine (not Quake II).

So you're saying that Valve has hired gooseman to work on CS2 during HL2's development? Can't imagine he'd get very far without the engine.
