more mods have done this you know... professional companies do it too...

So it's okay then?

Valve got bitched at for having most of the E3 footage and other promotional content not in their actual game (and also when they lied about a scene that had was supposed to have no scripted sequences)

CoD2 got called out for having prerendered cgi in it's ad, that didn't depict what the game actually looked like.

Well in their "pretend to be a game studio" setup, they got one thing right: lie like one.

According to king douchebag, the mod is showing progress despite what the photoshops show. Then, why didn't they release screenshots of the current progress instead of photoshoping old screenshots with old hud concept. Oh wait, what progress?

so unless you either link to the files or to the folder, how do these bot-spiders even find the files anyways?

Sorry mazzle, it doesn't play well with my comp

ill buy it when it does, but since im poor and just upgraded last fall, by the time I do upgrade, the game will be in the bargain bin.

(unless someone wants to send me a 360)

Since some ass locked the thread,

"Hitman Blood Money is worth buying imo!"

how does mazy feel that everyone in #mapcore is pirating the game right now?

Minus the bugs (cough crossfire), I think it's near perfect. It's supposed to be hldm on the source engine, not a "what some guy thinks the maps should have looked like" source remake.

Look at http://www.blackmesasource.com/flash/images/mr7_am1.jpg

It barely looks like the original, so it is not half-life 1. it is some guy's opinion on what they want it to be.

where was that in hl1? oh wait, it wasn't.

ah k, I'm working on that quest strand atm.

where's that at KoKo5oVaR?

Fletch, do it.

hook me up

The only comics which I find funny are Perry Bible and VGCats. Otherwise, CAD, Penny Arcade, and PVP? Rarely funny.

the beak goes thru the tie.

im not buying the game anymore.

p.s. defrag I miss playing bf2 with you and mulchy

also before the patch the AA was more likely to hit friendly assets than enemy assets anyways. I remember on the dam level, i was sitting in the AA at the airstrip, an enemy jet flies over the airstrip, so i shoot at it -- the missiles somewhat follow it... before changing course to the 2 players boarding into my team's attack chopper (killing them and the other 2 guys who failed to be the first two to board it).

Whoa, not so fast; DICE Stockholm is working on BF2142, DICE Canada will continue to support BF2 with patches and the expansion.

That is, until EA decides that those playing BF2 aren't important anymore and that they should spend $50 on the new game, and thus cease funding patches to DICE Canadialand.

so if it's real... they're abandoning bf2 with no more patches to make the game playable, then having a new game for the bf fans to pay for. sounds like ea.

well i WAS thinking about grabbing this but... for obvious reasons I guess I'll have to pass.

trojan ambulance?

They could at least pick a good title >.

Quote from Fletch

From a strictly legal standpoint, the case has some merit to it. The Geneva Conventionis binding international law, and if it says the member nations have agreed to protect misuse of the logo, then they have the right to. There are some caveats.

But in the games, the symbol is used as stated,

* facilities for the care of injured and sick armed forces members

okay, hospitals... done.

* armed forces medical personnel and equipment;

okay, medic class... done.

* military chaplains

dont know about that one...

so it's not misuse if its used in games the same way as it is in real life.

all the same usage.

After reading something:

Quote

Red CrossAs provided for by the Geneva Conventions, the red cross emblem is to be used only to denote the following:

* facilities for the care of injured and sick armed forces members

* armed forces medical personnel and equipment;

* military chaplains;

* Red Cross groups such as the International Committee of the Red Cross; the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, formerly "the League of Red Cross Societies"; and the 182 national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies.

The Geneva Conventions obliged their signatories to prevent the unauthorized use of the name and emblem in wartime and peacetime in order to ensure universal respect for the emblem.

Nevertheless, the emblem is often used to indicate first aid, medical supplies, and the like, which are abuses of the emblem and shall be forbidden by all signatory powers to the Geneva Conventions. In order to avoid this conflict, a different-colored cross is often used.

Did I read this right? Did that just say that it isn't one corporation's logo, but rather a symbol used under the Geneva Conventions to show for first aid and other medical related shit. Basically, having a medic class in a war game with a cross that happens to be red would be doing what the Geneva Conventions quote demonstrates, and isn't infringing on International Committee of the Red Cross's (lack of) ownership of it.

Quote from JynxDaddy

Also, someone on slashdot asked what harm is it doing? It's always something positive in games, health, medkits etc. , not killing and blood. If anything it's teaching kids that the symbol means you can get help and first aid when you see it.

Except for, back in the tfc days, when players would go medic only for speed, self healing, concjumping, and never (or rarely) healing teammates

protect the gibson!
