I just wanted to put this somewhere where people will see it :p

Edit: Here in the Video Forum we are "happy, and devoted" to answering questions or conerns about Video Products. We are also happy to give advice to those who seek it. However, recently we have been flooded with people saying, DIII is dark, DIII looks horrible, What do i need to run doom III, Nvidia/ ATI is teh roxor, Carmack is gay (alright you get the picture). We cant be answering all these question 500times each. Also we cant be explaining every thing 5 times a day... otherwise people who really have more legit or urgent questions can have those answered. If you have an opinion by all means post it but keep in mind, dont go ranting and raving about something like this, back it up with good solid evidence, and present both sides of your argument, Basic Journalism, present both sides or you are biased towards one. Remember you want to stay as objective as possible.

Also one thing that has been becoming more and more common is people critiquing something when they haven't played the game, before you start criticizing and flaming things please play the game!

Thankyou,
-Kevin

10/10

EDIT: my Intelli mouse is amazing for this game. My 5th mouse button is set ot my flash light so I just switch back and forth between my light and gun all day. For those of you who hate switching just get the duct tape mod..

Do you think this will play on my system.... Does the gamma go any higher? ATI will own NVidia in HL2.... This game is boring... The monsters are the same.... These weapons suck...

I CAN'T SEE!

The flashlight button, default 'F' has a bug. When you go from a weapon to the flashlight using that button, then turn on your PDA, then exit the PDA and press 'F', it won't know what the weapon you had alternate to the flashlight was. That sucks and is annoying.

I guess it is too much to ask that in 2145, flashlights be on guns, even though the technology to do so exists in 2004. Amazing how in 141 years, that small bit of technology gets lost.

I know dude... geeze... don't they have duct tape in the 22nd century?



... sorry, it had to be said :roll:




*EDIT* Just a thought... maybe guns with flashlights on them do exist in 2145, but seeing as how this portal to hell wasn't scheduled to be opened with no means to close it until 2146, maybe they just didn't get around to making guns with flashlights standard issue...

Just because it is supposed to be dark, doesnt mean its better dark for everyone. I didnt enjoy the game that much to be honet. Too cramped, too dark, and the same old gameplay over and over again.

See that's an opinion I can respect... you understand what the game is, and you don't like it. You don't just bitch about how dark it is. You say "I understand it's supposed to be dark, and it is, but I'd rather be in a more wide open and bright environment."

You know what I bet happend? Once the gateway to hell was opened up ALL DUCT TAPE VANISHED!!!

Anyways the beta did have flashlights on the guns it just happend to be to easy... to I would guess in an attept to increase the difficulty and scaryness it was scrapped. Either way for those of you who want it is an easy mod. so Shut up please THX bye

LOL... or maybe... demons feed on duct tape... so they're hoarding it in a storage locker... maybe you can find a PDA with a website address that will give you the password and location of a secret locked storage locker that you can open and find rolls and rolls of duct tape... :D
