Toms Hardware Guide have thrown up their Half Life 2 Preview! Here's a snip.
We get a good look at one of the biggest games ever! Like you, we have been waiting and waiting. And now, it looks like we don't have to wait much longer. Get ready to start swinging the crowbar! Valve has been mum about multiplayer in Half-Life 2 since the beginning. Valve once had Team Fortress 2 in the works, but that project eventually went silent as well. One exciting thing we do know, however, is that all of the original Half-Life's content will be ported to the new Source engine. And in the E3 demos, we were able to see CounterStrike on the new engine. What we saw was gorgeous. They lead with the popular level, Aztec. The textures were sharp. There was rain. And best of all, there were people shooting at each other.
