    We’ve got another couple of exclusive hi-res screenshots courtesy of <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com">PC Gamer US[/url]. Previously these were only available in print magazines.

    The one on the right was in PCG UK a month back IIRC. Nice to have it anyway.

    ;(

    The point is though, you've only ever seen these screenshots in scans or the magazine themselves.

    You'll see the images without watermarks next week when our new site is finished.

    Yep, it will look similar to the forums now and actually have a backend to most the stuff which should be nice.

    It's what we've been saying for months :p

    You know, how we've been doing a "Doug Lombardi" on you for ages?

    e.g. "We'll get all that fixed up within the next few weeks"
    *waits for a few weeks*
    "We'll get all that fixed up within the next few months"
    *waits for a few months*
    "We'll get it all fixed soon"

    :p

    Release date

    Ok,

    We all know Valve can't keep a release date (they don't understand this kind of things or something). Let's see if you guys can.

    Please give us a release date for the new site. :naughty:

    Ahh, now y'see, we're much worse than Valve for sticking to dates. The competitions were supposed to launch three times over the last six months but got delayed. The site design has been delayed about 4 times now too :p

    Soon :)

    thats screenshots are very similiar to anothers and are not so amazing

    but sure the people will discuss the bugs that are in the screens
    they will say "Omg looks that poligon it looks horrible I never will buy HL2 lol"

    and what new site?

    Okay let's analyze... The whole fire/muzzelflash thing is still ****ed up (it doesn't emit light, nor do shadows notice anything of it)

    The shadows themselves are ****ed up too I guess: either they're coming from the wrong way, or they're supposed to be cast by that fire (in wich the shadows shouldn't be so perfect)

    Once again there is no AA and such.. why do they keep making screenshots from crappy pcs?

    The windows look exactly the same, but the ones further away have less and less detail (probably due to the crappy pc thing)

    Hmm.. I think that's about for these.. ^_^

    Gameplay over graphics

    Sure, the graphics are important but the most important thing remains gameplay (at least in my opinion).

    I'm a hardcode UT player but I was never able to switch to UT200x. Sure, the graphics look great but the game lost his feeling (if you know what I mean).

    Even with old graphics, CS still remains the most played multiplayer game.

    So, graphics are nice but gameplay rules.

    The quality of these pictures is crappy, I'm sure it will look a hell of a lot better on 1280x1024 everything on high w/AA+AF.
    Anyways, how about stop teasing us and finish the damn game :sniper:

    Dude graphics dont look that great. Some other images ive seen look awesome but this probably what it will look like on my comp.

    Remember, all the magazine screenshots from back then looked like ass for some reason. Remember the donkey combine?

    Since then, there's been some substantial fixin'. Just look at the Greg Coomer screenshots.

    That said, these two are the best out of the crappy screenshots,. :)

    Ya looks great but i dont think AA or FF is on thats why it doesnt look as good as images ive seen.

    I knew it that someone will post something like that

    IMO the graphics look fine and I happy for that cuz my PC is not so powerfull
    also I am not so demanding about game graphics

    Why isn't AA turned on in HL2 screenshots? Why do we still see shadow bugs (1st pic: the brick at the bottom of the page, only halve the shadow)

    Is it me, or does the crosshair bracket double as a health indicator...

    One side doubles as an ammo indicator, the other side is unknown as yet but yeah, could be health.
