Continue with HL1? ========================== HL1 Adventajes: ========================== 3B of $ of invest of hardware. People have buy computers with TNT2, Matrox, GeForce1, and pentium with 400 Mhz, 300 Mhz, 800 Mhz. Chips of ram with 128 MB, 64 MB. These people actually use HL1, and HL2 will not run as faster or will not run at all. Harcode players: this people want FPS and... FPS, and after that want ... FPS. These players dont want eyecandy.. these people DISABLE all eyecandy. Is sad from engine coders view, because people that want DM, dont want fog, or nice clouds, or nice particle trails for rockets... want cristal-clear and fullbrigh high FPS play. 3B of USERS (oops.. maybe a less more, maybe I count twice counter and strike players :*D => Invest of Hardware Huge user base ========================== HL2 Dis-adventajes: ========================== I not own a HL2 copy => I can't mod for HL2. I not live at USA, but miles and miles away from a good FilePlanet server or a cheap wide bandwidth. => I can't HL2. I don't like huge downloads. ========================== No-sense reasons. ========================== I am a odd Commodore 64 user. I like Half-Life 1. I have buy Half-Life +-8 weeks ago :D => C64, old enough to drink. ========================== Real Reason ========================== Heee.... only-for-fun factor. => Mod for Fun. ========================== General Banter ========================== HL1 is like a old car, thar you already have dissaemble and assemble away. Is a car that work, is not beaty but is a very good card. Will HL2 work with emulated windows?. Will HL2 work with Win64 architecture? Will work with future incompatible D3D versions?. I guess the HL1 software mode and opengl mode will still run. => No sense gibberish. ==========================> IACET ARTHURUS, REX QUONDAM REXQUE FUTURUS - Thomas Malory (Latin for "Here lies Arthur, the one and future king") - - - I am sorry for my english. I know look like english, but is not. Its crap, and its very hard to understand. I am sorry. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
