only problem with that would be keeping physics intact, because any change in physics interactions might change smoke spots and other important nade physics things in CS
Do you mind sharing where you got that from ? It's quite interesting.
I can't tell you how many combine soldiers I've sent flying into space with the revolver and crossbow.
Just look into the game's development and the beta / leak. The AR2 was a flare-firing rifle originally as some IR Rifle or something, the SMG was stockier and didn't have a grenade feature as it instead became a hybrid from the abandoned OICW, NPCs still reload the AR2 like it was the OICW, and numerous other things. The Combine Overwiki will pretty much detail every little oddity, beta version, remnants of issues or so forth.
You cant lose copyright.
Oh come on, the SMG reload is Gordon giving the mag a little spank. Yes, it's odd, but I'm so used to it by now that any sort of actual reload animation in the context of HL2 just looks wrong. HL1 lowdef weapon animations > HL2 weapon anims > HL1 hidef weapon anims The HL1 HD pack is made even worse by the fact that all the weapons have the exact same animations across the three games, whereas in OpFor and BShift lowdef they have specific idle animations per game.
Yes you can. If you show a willful disregard with a licensed product it can be seen as giving the license to the public instead.
No, thats not how that works at all. Copyright is automatically given to the creator and lasts until willfully relinquished or 75 or so years after the creators death, or something like 90 after acquirement if for a corporate entity, i'd have to double check. What you CAN lose is certain levels of trademark ownership as those have to be registered and if not properly protected can become genericised.' Otherwise, no, you cant lose a copyright.
Ah, fair enough. I was confusing it with trademark. Thank you for that. (made sure to poke ya so you knew)
Can't it become public domain after a certain time ? I think I read somewhere that Disney were about to lose the copyright on Mickey because it'll be 150 years old in the next 10/15 years.
I mean you cant lose copyright just from not protecting your property. Copyrights expire 70 years after author death or 95 or so years from first publication in the case of company created or company owned properties (Action Comics #1 and its rendition of Superman from 1938 will enter the public domain around 2033 for example).
