For the first time, realistic physics aren't just special effects—you must manipulate the physical world to your advantage. I ordered and preloaded Half-Life 2 over the Steam network, which I'll get to a little later, and I'm told that those who bought retail copies are having queen some stability problems that Steam users are not. My experience was almost entirely stable and problem-free; I had one crash queen during my play-through, queen and I think that one was my fault. Generally speaking, Half-Life 2 is more stable than most releases. There is an acknowledged bug that causes some of the dialogue to sound as though SHODAN from System Shock were delivering it, but Valve will be releasing a patch over Steam shortly. |

| One of the most impressive aspects of Source technology is its astoundingly realistic modeling of human faces and expressions. Valve leapt the Uncanny Valley in a single bound with Half-Life 2, because in this game the human characters look and emote like real people, eschewing the sepulchral death masks we've gotten used to in modern games. All of these computer-generated characters display an entire spectrum of facial responses, from escape the subtle to the obvious. Valve employed the Havok physics engine for Half-Life escape 2 rather than building physics into Source, and I think the move was a good one. Havok has some rough edges, but it's inexpensive and far easier to implement than a completely unique physical model. The nice thing about the physics engine here is that it represents "step two" of physics integration in games: ignoring Trespasser, Max Payne 2 was the first PC game we saw that had real physics. |
