Just an ikkle bit more HL2 news for you now. The Havok Physics Engine, which HL2 will use, is mighty spectacular, so spectacular infact that a few demos have been released so you can have a little gander at it for yourself. Here is the information:
Download them here. The avi files can be viewed in Windows Media Player 7 or DivX player. You won't be disappointed.

No it's not, it just has elements taken from Havok's physics engine (very heavily modified). The AI, a lot of the physics etc. are all independant and were built in-house, and the programming itself is based on Nvidia's CG programming. Read this month's PC Zone and see the preview.

If that is the case, will there be a CS mod made for HL2? That would suck if the CS community became divided between the two game :/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

CZ is supposed to have physics in it so i imagine it'll just be the ragdoll stuff weve seen in that fallguy and not much else.
But i imagine CS2 will use the new HL2 engine and have a lot more phyiscs stuff added, like blowing doors off hinges, moving boxes around, flipping up tables etc. I think they'll still try to maintain its current look and feel so it wont play like a rainbow 6, cos then it wouldnt be CS would it :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

^^ Nick (slider) said he has seen em
he makes a good point tho, however s*** ID games may be (quake3, sigh) they make great 3d engines [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Yes they make good engines but I think HL2 is just going to completely deflate Doom III and ID's egos (*cough* "I know, after my Quake success I'll make Daikatana!") [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
