Ok. I understand that we won't know until it comes out whether you are right but still, answer these questions in code snippet boxes:

1. What happens at the very end?
2. Name five weapons in it that don't appear in the videos
3. What happens if you shoot Alyx?

4. Where did you beta test HL2?

...and like that; he's gone...

lol, yes, the ultimate test. Next year when we have played it we will find out if you've been lying or not.

Raven could post a screenshot from every level in the game, plus a screen from the closing animation, that would give some proof that he has the game.

ahhh but will he? Or will he still try to convince us with rhetoric and no actuall tangible or visual evidence? I think the former will most likely be true

Although, I'd love to be proved wrong

Well at least screen shots don't give anything away about the game.

Sorry Chris but i ain't playing this game,
screenshots & movies break the nda ... detailed explainations of the story break the nda ... infact i really should've said as much as i have already.

There no other human weapons in the game that haven't already been showcased on sites.
The Story has a major plot twist, well if you can call it that - personally i saw it comming a mile away after one of the characters dies.

you want to know stuff about this game, then damn well wait until April cause quite frankly it's upto you to believe if i've played the games. Not for me to prove anything, and hell i should've even acknowlaged that i've used them.

So be thankful for what i have actually said about them already.

Raven,
Your posts read similar to this for me:

I am Batman. You have no proof that I am not, and I am to busy to prove to you that I am. Therefore, I must be. I don't give a f@&K if you don't believe me but if you try to disprove me get ready to feel my wrath of longwinded posts. I'll never show you a crime that I stopped or a person that I saved because... that wouldn't be very superhero-ish. But, by golly let me tell you if 10% of the super heros did half of the crime fighting that I did, then the world would be a much better place!

What I want to know is how a crime fighter with SO MANY huge, important, breathtaking, crimes to fight can have time to write super-huge long-arse posts full of utter truth and enlightenment??? My guess is that you have a telepathic secretary that can type 2.4 billion words per second. All you have to do is think about what you want to say and *POOF*.... it appears in this Forum.
------------------------------------

Well, maybe that wasn't the best story, but at least the could be catogorized the same: Fiction.

yeah well whatever you feel like believing, it was you guys who started on me because i didn't agree that HL2 was the best game like ever.
and if you wanna believe the illusion of hype that it will be then so be it... but my $50 is on that your not in here just to comment on the game but actually feel another "lets prove Raven wrong" time again.

ya know whatever, i've had enough of you guys sitting there trying to make out that i'm lying. i don't have to prove anything to you and i'm not going to... you wanna dis-believe me then why the hell even bother posting?

Agreed... frankly I do not believe that Raven has played anything but possibly the leaked illegal version of HL2. He styles himself as an industry expert but I have yet to see any proof that he has any 'connections' or tie-ins with respectable game or game news compananies. I prefer tangible evidence, and an 18 wheeler's load of rhetoric won't change my mind. Talk is cheap.

Raven,
FYI I don't believe that HL2 will live up to the hype either. Not because it won't be a great game, but because the hype is bigger than any game can be. I bet if Valve was pro NVidia instead of pro ATI, you'd be laying a red carpet of drool for HL2.

If you know that no one believes all of you *high* connections and "inside" knowledge, then why do you even bother posting?

What a joke you are.

HOOOWWWLLL!!!

Looks like another Flamebait post...

Ok so Half Life 2 could be cra**y but Raven has dissed the graphics, and animation, and shadows, they aren't cra**y because I can see from the screenshots that they are amazing!

What happened here??
My internet breaks for a few days and suddenly people have stopped taking the piss our of Raven?!?

I just thought I'd put this post back to the top with some of my personal favourite Ravenisms from this post:

(when talking about a 1024x768 screenshot)
Quote: "That screen shot was taken from a computer running at 1024x768"

AND
Quote: "it is cropped down from a higher resolution"


Quote: "FFXI's shadows are better than HL2's"


(Maybe he has a special liking for sprites as shadows)

Quote: "I have played HL2"

Even though Valve shut down thier internet to stop leaks, they still let out a special complete copy to Raven.

...and like that; he's gone...

I am happy with him retreating to the Batcave. There is no sense in continuing the argument without our Stupor-hero. Maybe he finally got the point of how absurd he sounds.
