"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

I've zipped up the images so if that last site (no not M$, Sandwich!) goes down I have them for all and any.

One note of concern... I hope all the urban scenery only represents a chapter or two of the final game. Contemporary urban environments definitely top my list of boring FPS environments (one of the reasons I loathed Blood 2). The Black Mesa setting of HL1 was perfect in that it gave the designers tons of opportunities to include visually interesting high-tech widgets.

On the other hand, done properly city combat is a-mazing. Nothing quite like a grenade-launcher misfire taking out a passing bus, or fighting room-to-room through an abandoned apartment block.
Webpage. Yes.

Urban vs Secret Labs. We've come back to DX vs HL again, haven't we?

Although, not a related genre, RE2, had both urban AND Secret lab enviroments.:p.. using this train of thought, it would be nice to see a healthy mix of various enviroments to keep a game such as hl2 or dx2 'fresh' for the gamer

How could you possibly prefer an underground lab over a nice city?  There are sooooo many places to hide, shoot and explore in a good city map; way better than the mostly streight forward lab designs.

BTW, I hope this doesn't turn out like TF2.  Huge publicity, promises of a revolution, and amazing technology?  We see a huge blitz and then nothing.  For years.  WTF?
If happiness is a warm gun and love is a battlefield, why should we give peace a chance?

Probably heard nothing on TF2 for the same reason you've heard nothing about HL2. Also, it's "apparently" due at the end of September this very year. Lovely :)

*AHEM*

Sorry 'bout that. Got a little overexcited. Time to bust out the crowbar... ;7

I'd like to see both urban and lab settings, 'cos they're both cool (if done right), but some other locations would be good as well. Also, I'd like to see the plot kept secretive, sort of X-files-syle. A nice neat wrap-up at the end would really spoil the whole thing, I think. That's what I liked about the first one - nice and mysterious. And they'd better bring back the MP5, or I'm gonna be pissed off...

[EDIT]
And another thing. If it turns out like Unreal 2, I'll sell my PC, my guitar, my fencing and Kung-Fu stuff, my sound system and all my CDs, buy a ticket to America with the money, and go on a rampage through the Valve office. Here's hoping, eh?

I was thinking less Deus Ex than B-Hunter, Syndicate, and a few others. Deus Ex had an okay city setup, but without vehicles it wasn't all that great, you were still kinda limited in where you could go, and the opportunities for collateral damage were few- pretty much everyone you'd meet was armed and dangerous.
