Alyx looks like crap. Freeman should dump her.in favour of something vaguely feminine.

[Colonol Dekker]

Like cortana mayhaps?

Stellar converter lmao, thats from some cheesey as hell 70's sci-fi movie also IIRC, It had robert vaughn in it, Buck rogers style tosh (although Colonol Wilma Dearing is Fit as F**K, I'd like to make little cbaby colonols with her as she was back then)

My graphics card sucks ass.

All I get for teh intro is a black screen with sound.

The core graphic looked really impressive with the pics I saw here, but with my card all i got was a ball made out of white lines that just kind of pulsated, lol.

Oh well.

[Edward Bradshaw]

What they do need to do is put gibbing back into HL. I liked blowing someone up and watching them expload.

Freeman Vs Chief, Who would win?

The HEV's got a (marginally) sexier voice than the Mjolnir mark VIIVVCXXCIMV armour anyway

You really need to sort that out, the intro to Episode One is one of the few intros ever that really got my pulse racing and wanting to get stuck into the game. I know there are a lot of G-Man lovers and haters out there but whatever either of them say, his one opening line was very cool indeed. Also, having the graphics looking nice for the core levels really is worth it - once you get there it's eye candy in its purest form.

How could freeman win without a freakin' helmet?

[FireCrack]

Freeman has a helmet.

[vyper]

Indeed, its one of those bizzare things never quite explained. The HEV suit has a helmet, you clearly wear the helmet otherwise you'd drown/suffocate in many situations, yet every picture of Gordon is without the helmet...

[Ace]

Because they have to show off that hair and goatee that makes him look like the generic red-headed archaeologists of the Pacific Northwest

In other words, they used the first PhD they found to model Dr. Freeman after.

[WMCoolmon]

I did miss the lack of vehicle sections

There was one in the very beginning. How did you miss it?


Granted, the van had no engine, and was pretty much completely burnt out, and was only moving because it was thrown by Dog...

[aldo_14]

Maybe that is his helmet, and it's just to cover up a really small head.

[pecenipicek]

a bizzare error.

can anyone explain this to me or help me fix it?


might be the sideeffect of the whole citadel falling apart thing

[Turambar]

the textures fell off...

[Colonol Dekker]

The lambda texture is what HL engines use as a default, in some cases not sure how, it replaces a missing exture (or one that failed to load) with it,,  I suggest backing up quick saves and re-install/patch.

Anyone experienced this problem before?

Select Ep1 properties from Steam and check its integrity, it repairs itself if need to.

i'm not playing it via steam


i'm not installing that piece of crap on my pc ever again.


i'm trying to fix that via copying my whole materials folder from hl2 to the hl2-ep1's folder.

[vyper]

You tried to enable HRD lighting didn't you? IIRC those textures/shaders appear when the source engine calls on dx9 functions that your card can't handle.

[pecenipicek]

fixxored by copying the materials folder to hl2-ep1 folder.



as for HDR, it only allows me to use bloom where availible, sooo... looks good so far.

[edit]and i'm stuck on the first level after the van ride
