A chatlog on qith Valve Software at ModDataBase.com reveals word by Valve's Gary McTaggart: "Anti-aliasing has been fixed for all cards." This is actually good news after the recent discussion if and under which circumstances HL2 would be able to run with Anti Aliasing enabled. Further of note is that Valve will be delivering a detailed benchmark before the game ships, where you can run a particular card through any of the DirectX levels where appropriate..

Thanks to Brewskie over at Half Life News , Techseekers.net got a chance to talk to Valve about certain aspects of their upcoming game: Half Life 2.

They also talked about a comprehensive demo playback control and camera movement in recorded demos.

3D Realms have posted the news that the September 2003 issue of Computer Gaming World Magazine has the scoop on Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.

The demo also unleashes the power of ten of the 16 new weapons in Secret Weapons of WWII. Fly and fight at the same time with the experimental German rocket pack, or buzz the skies in one of the new compact dynamo fighter planes?the Axis Natter rocket plane or the Allied F-85 Goblin. Both the Axis and Allies also have new motorcycles with machine gun-mounted sidecars, as well as amphibious assault vehicles: the German Schwimmwagen and the American LVT-2 Water Buffalo. The new Axis Flakpanzer, a T-38 tank with an anti-aircraft gun mounted on top, is a nasty beast?but it looks tame compared to the Allies? Sherman tank with a T-34 Calliope rocket launcher.

Blaze over the snow in speeders, man the anti-personnel cannons, and ready those blasters for a long battle between the Empire and Rebel forces.

Just spotted this bit of news at Planet Half-Life.com:

Just a follow-up on yesterday's Half-Life 2 delay story: to clear things up, we have confirmed directly with Vivendi Universal that there is a delay. We've even double checked. Valve has yet to send an official confirmation or denial either way on this, and other sites are reporting that there isn't a delay based on alleged email answers Gabe Newell sent to random fans. In some cases, these mails are obviously forged.

Mertsch send the information, that a new Half Life 2 movie has been released and is ready for download.
For download and watching the movie you have to use Sierras technique "Steam" which if free for using.
