Uhhh, is anyone else getting this when they try to go to Half-Life 1's page on Moddb?

yes
I wish Valve weren't so goddamn lazy and haphazard in the handling of their older games and the engine they run on.
Half Life 2 had a wonderful modding community until Valve decided to take a big steaming shit over it and break most of the cool mods by insisting on upgrading half life 2 to more recent versions of the engine with absolutely zero conservation of the original title.

Half-Life is cancelled.
[QUOTE=WhyNott;49257185]It leaked along with TF2's a couple of years ago
IIRC there is some fan project to remake opposing forces in the same vain as HL:S based on that source code[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Didn't Team GabeN have a port of CS 1.6 from the HL2 leak, too?

So I guess that after all these years the decided that Marc Laidlaw isn't canon.

[URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/3vqltp/new_halflife_logo_from_valve_spotted/"]/r/halflife is flipping its shit about how half life was mentioned during a presentation and claims that the logo looks different, while, to me, it looks exactly the same.[/URL]
[video=youtube;BKUpwDCdlTo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKUpwDCdlTo[/video]
they claim that solely because it was mentioned, valve MUST be working on it right now. however, if valve didn't put that logo there, they'd instantly think that valve has wholly forgot about half-life and is not working on it. on the other hand, because it is present, they think opposite. this is just like sjw's.
Imagine jumping at shadows even distantly resembling Half-Life for whole 8 years. How are these people still not caught in deep depression is beyond me.

They're probably talking about the specific logo/typography combination, but for all thοse games it looks like he wanted to put on the Franchise logos to get his point across fast. Really, it's one of the least interesting things to get hyped about.
I've been pretty outspoken about /r/HalfLife's quest for hype trains in the past, but I've noticed there are many people in there who don't get hyped at the drop of a hat. It's pretty sad to see those few who get hyped about the most negligible shit or repost content with a hype label, even after discussion on said content has died down. I've even seen people who say "don't get hyped" get downvoted to oblivion.
But, at the end of the day, it's a vocal minority, and not representative of the majority of the sub. I think the quality of posts will increase when some real news come straight from the horse's mouth.

Oh I'm there, HL3 is a very small part of it though but for similar reasons
found some of my old won disks. even some of the bigass manuals.
This is probably the wrong thread and I've looked everywhere, but would anyone here happen to be a concept artist? I really need one for something HL2 related and it would my sincere gratitude if you would like to help.

Could you give any more specific details as to what you're wanting done? (And if you're looking for an actual fully-fledged concept artist or just someone with some form of artistic ability?) I'm interested, and I'm about to be through with this semester so I'll have free time after Thursday.

Yeah, I'll send you a PM and give you the details.

/r/halflife in a nutshell
I'm more disappointed that now I have to wait even longer for the Vive, than actually hearing anything about HL3 at all.
Fuck. I wanted to get hands on the Vive since me and a group have Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality as a project for school. You can't explain VR to people without them letting experience it themselves.
I was playing Half-Life recently, as one does, and I felt it wasn't feeling particularly extreme enough as it is, as I'm sure you all agree.
Hence, to rectify this lack of extremeness in Half-Life, I decided to look towards the kings of extremity, Germany.
And Germany delivered (with free shipping!):

Holy shit, wow. That looks extreme. Does it have third party tools like Wally in it? I like how it also comes with GameSpy, might come handy
[URL="http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life/addons/half-life-add-ons-rare-cd"]reminds me of this[/URL]
unfortunately, this one is not as extreme.
