If you don't belive me get a copy of PCF UK no. 196, page 55.

An engine is an engine. A pc is a pc, not a dog. The engine can be lightly altered but the core remains the same.

Yes I know that, all I was saying is that it will have better graphics then HL2 and CSS.

But yes the core will still be the same with small changes, but small changes can make a big diffrence when you have been playing on the same engine for so long.

I agree with DAE, there is only one source engine, anything that gets done to it is pretty much an improvement, unless of course they do something drastic like what made the HL engine. You couldn't exactly call that an improvement over the Quake 2 engine, more like a complete rewrite, though it still spawned a new engine! However minor things like the addition of HDR are improvements and doesn't warrant it being called a new engine?

I never called it a new engine.

Think of it as a source engine with a boost.

Anyway Source engine from Left 4 Dead will mean the end of the road for some graphics cards that worked with the orignal Source engine.

ROFL.

No no. I know now exactly what he means (unless he really does believe it's a new engine, like he said).

I'm not looking for a flame, i'm just correcting

Thanks I siad that so people could tell the diffrence between the NEW Source engine(With the small changes) and the OLD Source engine(The current engine with no changes)

I meant New as in the new Source engine with the small changes.

This what it would have sounded like if a hadn't done that.
Well we will see if the graphics of the source engine is better then the old source engine.

It just sound better thats all.

Now can we start talking about Left 4 Dead.

Why don't get the Valve Complete Pack?

All the games very cheap and all have to do is download it off steam.

Neon948 · Post by **Neon948** » 27 Apr 2007, 05:01

Does anyone know if they are going to get the game or not?

I'm sure my 6600GT will handle it just fine, I've run HL2 on MAX with no problems.

I already have Half-Life Platinum (HL1, Opposing Force, Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, Doesn't have Blue Shift) just needed Half-Life 2, so I decided to get the Collectors Edition, but needless to say I think I got screwed over!

Doomextreme · Post by **Doomextreme** » 27 Apr 2007, 09:43

Yea I can also play HL2 on highest, but the way that other bloke said it, we might not be able to run this game on medium even :S

So did I, I also had that pack with all the HL1 games in it, but I also got the complete pack and used the Platinum Pack so other people could play the HL1 games while I was useing my complete pack.

Thread res ftw!

For those of you eagerly awaiting the release of Left 4 Dead you might want to consider giving Killing Floor for UT2k4 a go.

Killing Floor is a Total Conversion of the Unreal Tournament 2004 game. Playing as a squad of marines, you must use firepower and teamwork to drive back massive hordes of bloodthirsty zombies.

Killing Floor features some of the most detailed and atmospheric environments you will see in a horror themed mod, and the objective is to make something that is not only visually pleasing, but also rewarding and fun from a gameplay standpoint.

It actually looks really good, now to just download it...

I can't believe it 's almost here, 5 days to go and the zombie rampage can begin!

In the meantime I just wish the following would download faster:
