Where can I find system Requirements?

EDIT: Nevermind, found them.

Quote from Izuno

Any more vehicle recommendations? Aside from rail shooting sequences, what about where player technically does have control of the vehilce (not just the weapon) but is really forced down a fairly linear path. Best examples are some MoH and CoD tank levels I can think of...

Couple levels in Halo and Half Life 2 where you're driving and shooting... More recently - Advent Rising had a long tank driving bit. Though, that game wasn't very good.

It is my understanding that the only form of polution that we are a leader in, would be car emissions.

haha, thanks for making my point ;D

There are a plethera of other things to put into persepective when you talk about polution. You can't just say that Americans pollute a lot because they are smelly. That doesn't hold water very well. You have to take into account how industrialized the nation in question is, how many people live in it, how many own cars, and things like that. You can't just accuse someone of being a polluter and then call them stupid about it. America has lots of people, cars, and factories - that much can't be helped. It's my understanding that those are the three things that ultimately give us a bad rap. People produce waste, factories produce smog and whatnot, and cars give off emmissions. Obvious. America however, has a different situation than other countries. For example - Norway, your country. It is to my understanding that Norway has less people, less industry, and fewer cars. Another obvious difference is Political Climate. Norway is most likely pro-I love the furry animals, where as the US can't agree on anything - let alone how to get our environmental problems straightened out..

What I'm saying is that before you imply that I'm an idiot and don't know what I'm talking about. You have to take a look at your own argument. The World's leading polluters have different situations than the nation's that pollute the least. So it's ridiculous that you try to compare them(large nations with industry) to small nations with no industry by way of pollution.

So for once, please stop blatantly blaming America for everything without taking into consideration the obvious things first.

We are for a fact, a leader in car emmissions - but that can't be helped can it? Blame the car companies for that - not me.

Live how you want, follow whatever religion you like... but when what you follow is being imposed on me, we have a problem.

Things like seperate Islamic sharia law courts are no good either... but we've already had a thread about that.

That was already mentioned

So what?

OH MY GOSH! The JFK assasination game!

Have a look at the Delta Force games for near-railshooter gameplay. I remember several missions where you only sat in a vehicle and tried to defend it against various badguys.

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down was full of that.

Whats sad is the US' views on pollution.

It is my understanding that the only form of polution that we are a leader in, would be car emissions.

Not reading any books at the moment. But now that I see this thread I'm really tempted to buy one. I need something to help me not be bored on weekends (besides my digi cam)... Any suggestions? Let's hear!

Read 1984(Orwell), or This Side of Paradise(Fitzgerald).

Quote from Skjalg

And no, just because "everyone is doing it" doesnt make it right...

About time someone stood up and did this, imho

Faceposer Magic if you ask me. It makes you wonder why they didn't bother will all of this in Half Life 2 a lot more than they did.

I've got to learn how to do this stuff

My models won't show up in hammer when I try to find a world model... but they show up in the HL2 model viewer... what's the deal? The on;y models that appear in hammer are seemingly random window/window bar models.

I can't seem to fix the problem either - I think this update really screwed me over.

See this thread: http://www.chatbear.com/board.plm?a=vie ... &v=flatold

What sort of camera are you shooting with?

Thank you for the reassurance... I have, however, some other parts of the map I want to finish before I start the texturing.

Why do my support beams look completely fake? I think they may be too big... 16x16. Maybe it's the dev texture? It'll be a pain in the ass to resize them. Ugh...

Also, are there too many? not enough? let me know.

I have it, I love it.

Death of a martian is also a strong song.

That's a cool little e-zine! I was previously unaware of it's existance.

a quick question again: How is Maya's free learning edition? From the Sourcewiki:

A free version of Maya called the Maya Personal Learning Edition (http://www.alias.com/glb/eng/products-services/product_details.jsp?productId=1900003) is available to all for non-commercial use. It is a feature-complete version of Maya Complete 7 with render watermarks and export restrictions. These constraints do not inhibit Source modding in any way.

What sort of watermark is it? What sort of export restrictions? If I want to put a model into source will it have MAYA FREE VERSION all over it?

Does anyone use blender to make models that will go into source?
