Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / May 2007Shacknews HL2: EP2 Preview
http://www.shacknews.com/extras/2007/051407_hl2ep2_1.x > http://www.shacknews.com/extras/2007/051407_hl2ep2_1.x ooo / Bites FoolsGold's hand > http://www.shacknews.com/extras/2007/051407_hl2ep2_1.x "based on my experiences, the game could represent as broad an evolution for the series as it saw from Half-Life to Half-Life 2." A bold claim! "If you reduce your scope, you can really focuse on density," pointed out Valve's David Speyrer. Plus, with the increasing complexity of the Half-Life universe, Valve wants to ensure that players are actually getting all of the narrative and context being crafted into each game--and, contrary to internet message board claims, most players simply don't finish long games. "It's especially difficult for us to try to tell a story across projects. Not having people finish each one is very frustrating," Speyrer continued. "The episode trilogy can really be thought of as Half-Life 3." I'm beginning to regret episodic content. HL3: EP1 just didn't feel long enough for me. Cheers for the link I thought it was a bit short, but there were a couple of bastard hard bits in HL2E1 that were fantastic, and I am happy that I finished it before the patch was released that made it easier > I thought it was a bit short, but there were a couple of bastard hard > bits in HL2E1 that were fantastic, and I am happy that I finished it > before the patch was released that made it easier I hope they add some new difficulty levels. Anyone that's played any multiplayer game (well) finds the single player experience unchallenging by comparison.

Thats how the war of words between posters/newsgroups occur and it's easily avoidable. All you have to do is copy and paste the message into a different window, problem solved. >> Like me Foolsgold visits both those groups and the post is on topic >> for both.

It's a method adopted by a large majority of newsgroup posters and has been for many many years. It works, why change it?

It is, 90% if the time. I'm no newsgroup nazi, just trying to keep the peace. >Sorry, it's my first ever crosspost and despite knowing some people's >dislike for it, it seemed harmless enough. There is nothing wrong with that crosspost at all. I much prefer people to sensibly crosspost as it saves me having to ignore the thread in one group and potentially miss posts to people who feel the need to strip out groups.

Most cross posts are fine. They're discouraged for the reasons I've already mentioned. > I much prefer > people to sensibly crosspost as it saves me having to ignore the > thread in one group and potentially miss posts to people who feel the > need to strip out groups. This isn't about personal preference but the group as a whole. You, can also do what the hell you like. I'm not going to police this group.
