It isn't? But the jawline, the hair, and the ear are like hers. I guess the person's head in that picture isn't pointy enough to be hers though

Nope, that's one of the female freedom fighter models.

I'm pretty sure that if there'es an HL2DM, that the grav gun's "ammo" will be pretty limited. I.e. a crate here, a single toilet, and a circualr saw blade.

From a gameplay standpoint, I don't think you want to be able to toss an entire warehouse, lest you want grav-gun spam.

Interesting image though. Wonder what the hidden meanings are.

Holy sh*t valve rocks! The steam forums are getting raped with traffic to that thread alone. I can't wait to try it out, chances are though it's only gonna be one map... We can only hope for more, but with the SDK being released there is sure to be community made maps popping up in no time

HL2DM's maps: Lockdown and Overlook(?). Lockdown is the Horned Antlion section of Nova Prospekt, and Overlook is the part where you resuce Barney from snipers.

Gave it a quick run. Lockdown is hyooj (10 players easy) while Overlook is good for fewer players. Frames were OK considering I was in both Azureus and iTunes.

gg Valve :tup: Now that HL2: DM is installed I can no longer launch Half-Life 2. Clicky-clicky, three second busy icon, then nothing. Rebooting fixed crap.

It has worked for some, maybe it will work for you.

rad: Rebooting didn't fix it. Validating the file didn't either (though it sure took a long time). Thanks though.

 

[BooGiTyBoY]

Same problem here...

No fixy

 

[captainrad]

man this is retarded.

I am glad my only issue is a graphic glitch upon loading a savegame that appears after playing for some time. It's just for about a second, though.

HL² runs very well on my machine, I am a bit surprised actually. I downloaded HL²DM without issues but I didn't try to play it yet.

Lucky, lucky me.

I hopped on the othernight and killed someone with a radiator.

This rocks

A little HL2 fun. "sv_cheats 1" and "impulse 101" when you're on the train in the beginning. You can kill the Combine soldiers, or even shoot and they won't be hostile, but bump into them and they come after you, shock-stick en garde!

GMan: Relevance of his Appearance

Spoiler

Many of you being Half-Life fans have some scientific knowledge and knowledge of scientific developments over the last century so I assume you know who Robert Oppenheimer is.

Incase you don't know who he is (go back to school) you can read about his scientific errrr achievements here...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Oppenheimer

Now look at him, really look at him.

It's pretty obvious that this is the man Valve based GMans appearance on but the question is why? Is it just some sort of 'in' joke for us science boys or does it have deeper relevance to the character?

Is....Gman Oppenheimer?
Was attached to the 1943 Philadelphia experiment?

Thats really interesting/creepy info.

I've asked Gabe if my theory is close but he won't reply.
