Birdman

The thing is that everything in doom 3 has it's own shadow.

So a light source that moves is gonna have a real effect on everything in an area.

You not gonna see this is a screenshot.

You would have to fire up the game and see it in motion.

No game out has better lighting and shadowing than Doom 3.

You can argue other games do, but it would be silly.

Birdman's a loon!

True dat.

and a crazy one too!

Does your guys' screenshot feature work, I took one in game but when I looked for it I couldn't find it in my directory. I was in a server that was 15 on 15, my ping was around 70, and I was 44-12 when I took the screeny.

 

I love every aspect of the game so far.

Works fine in the video card test.

I didn't try it in game though.

The game is completely sick.

I can tell you right now that the 6800 vid cards are not going to fit well if at all in the Shuttle cases. They are signifigantly longer than the x800 cards.

All the 6800GT's that are single slot solutions fit into the Shuttles.

Congrats man.

Hope you enjoy it.

A sign of things to come.

What drivers you all running>?

I'm having no problems with the catalyst 4.7's.

With and without AA and AF.

Thx for the ips man.

Sorry i wasn't talking back to you in game, but I had some winamp blasting in the background and was afraid to exit and try to turn it off.

This game is gonna be so sweet.

Last time I had this much fun playing in a sand box I was 4.

Glock is much improved.

 

Aiming is considerably different then cs IMHO

Yeah, glock seems to be a powerhouse.

But that's just compared to the old one and not the other new weapons.

Gonna take some time to get used to those flashes tho. They totally incapacitate ya.

True.

I need to find a good server like that one we were just on.

My server list is useless though.

That was fun.

The full version of this game can't come fast enough.

Seems to have a quicker pace than the old CS.

Are you sure about that? I had an nForce with 3 slots and the mobo manual clearly said that if you add a 3rd additional stick, it runs in single-mode.

May just be with some boards.

Im running dual channel with 3 sticks.

2 256Mb sticks and 1 512MB stick.

And flashes are harsh

Indeed.

If anyone knows the IP to a server that isn't full; then post it up.

you have to go into advanced keyboard options to get your ingame console to work. Just an fyi

good advice.

I get 90FPS without AA and AF @ 1024x768.

Please note that the Video test doesn't really stress your video card at all.

No action takes place in the test.

It locked cs:source up for me.

Locked mine too.

Tried it again and it took forever to load the thing.

Ended up getting thru the test though.

got 75FPS @ 1024x768 w/ 2xAA and 4xAF.

Still cant connect to a single server.

Made my own though and the game is gonna be sweet.

says steam is too busy to let me have fun.

Gabe Newell

- HL/2 pre-load will begin tomorrow. It was ready yesterday, but we decided to use the bandwidth to get out the VST first since I get pelted with zillions of questions from people asking how their PC will run Half-Life 2.

Good move on their part to allow people to see how their current setups will run HL2.

Seems poor Gabe feels he had to go to all the trouble of doing it though.

Like he didn't expect everyone to ask how it was gonna run on their systems.

Good news for shore though.

Be nice if they would finally release this thing.

It's sad that people can go play the hacked version, but people that actually paid money to play are being held up cause valve thinks it's cool to be a tease.

Steam can go places, but they seem afraid to use it to its full potential.

If you have played FarCry, Joint Ops, and Painkiller then I would take a lil' break and wait for Halflife 2.

Call of Duty was good.

BF: Vietnam was kinda fun too.

Here is the order in which I visit sites for general hardware.

1. Newegg

2. Zipzoomfly(formerly googlegear)

3. Mwave

If im shopping for a harddrive I go to Zipzoomfly. Mostly because they always have the best deals on Hitachi drives(the only drives I buy).

I like Far Cry better than Doom 3 sorry to say

I would rather be in a paradise gone wrong, then to be in hell.

But Doom 3 had a better single player experience. Although FarCry may have better multi player, but that's not saying much for either game's multiplayer.

I still have nothing.

over on steampowered.com they said it would be realeased around 3AM on the 18th.

But seriously...I have actually been trying to keep my posts on topic and non-extraneous.

I got your back Dweez.

Looks like 2 other people do too, so far.

3AM today is when the beta opens for us east coast peeps.

I've preloaded as well.

Now I just need for Valve to pull the trigger.
