In simpler terms, it makes the game all swimmy and crap. Imagine the reaction of the online community when Valve Software announced it had completely rewritten its networking code, and had slotted it into Team Fortress Classic. Pings were set to tumble, said Valve, and players who had previously been suffocated by poor connections would be able to frag their way back to the top.
And you know what? It wasn't kidding. Dip into a game on the PC server and instantly you'll notice most pings are now bobbing around below Plus there are no more players stalking around maps in slowmo, or dancing a jig in mid air. Another improvement is smoother graphics. Now when you watch other players doing what they do, their movements are a whole lot more fluid and indeed seem to incorporate more frames of animation.
Drop a backpack of ammo and even here you'll coo-coo at the way the bag arcs gracefully to your feet. Additionally, there are a number of 'under the hood' tweaks that most people won't know about, including a staggering 97 new console commands, together with the removal of old ones.
Unfortunately, that's where the good news stops. Much of the problem has centred around the way Valve has fiddled with the core gameplay. It has added a raft of pointless new features, taken out key elements from the previous version, and slotted in a glossy new interface which is almost as distracting as having someone nail tacks into your head while you play.
It was also full of bugs, and an additional update from Valve was released to stop players exploiting them. In among a slew of new features including the ghastly interface are numerous bugs, including glitches that render some maps unplayable. For fin example, members of the opposing team often adopt your team's appearance, making it impossible to know who to shoot.
It's also quite common to see people dashing around as bright orange Gordon characters from vanilla Half-Life. We've also experienced a problem where it was difficult to purchase new items, even though you were standing in the buy zone right at the start of the game. The developers have also modified many of the more popular weapons, such as the Colt M4A1 Carbine, which no longer has a zoom, and the MP5 Navy, which now couldn't shoot holes in a box of Shreddies.
Ah well. Even though this late-summer release from Sierra Studios and Captivation Digital Laboratories is essentially a port of the amazing PC version, there are a number of DC-specific enhancements being made.
Look for an all-new one-player mission created by Gearbox Software the team behind the Opposing Force add-on for the PC , new visual effects and a higher polygon count.
By the way, these are DC screens. We had our first shot at an early version of Sierra's long-awaited first-person blaster Half-Life, and this clever game is on-target so far.
The developer, Valve, has rewarded patient gamers with sharp environments, a good pace, and a well-thought-out design that'll suck you right in.
It's one of the shrewdest mixes of action and brainwork that you'll find in a first-person shooter; as the complex story unfolds, you'll be involved in some heavy exploration and difficult puzzle-solving. With a stunning interactive intro that has all the cinematic style of a cut scene, Half-Life sets the scene better than any shooter to date. You're a Ph. Moreover, you have to confront all sorts of mutated creatures that come fast and furious--yet, for all its smarts, Half-Life doesn't stint on action.
The multiplayer options weren't implemented in our advance copy, but the early single-play missions are up to snuff and then some. Even incomplete, Half-Life's environments showed astonishing quality, and its killer sound is true 3D: Conversations and ambient noises rise and fade realistically as you move toward and past them.
Half-Life also boasts an opponent A. Put this one on your must-have list for the holidays. Half-Life has arrived and will hopefully mark the dawn of a new genre: the thinking-man's shooter. It's faster than Quake II , prettier than Unreal , and more satisfyingly logical than any other corridor-crawler on the market. Players are very firmly placed in the boots of year-old Gordon Freeman, a scientist at the underground Black Mesa Research Facility. You're at ground zero when a mysterious interdimensional experiment goes awry, and after the project literally blows up in your face, you have to find a way to the surface, picking off otherworldly nasties along the way.
