Talk:Half-Life 2/Archive 1

message: Is it really "many" people suffering from motion sickness? Does anyone know how widespread the problem is? It'd be interesting to hear from Wikipedians who've played the game - personally, I've had no problems. --Sum0 21:52, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: No problems here. From what I can see, "many" get sick from first-person shooters, though HL2 might be recruiting new sickbag holders. ;-) (Also, do we really need the "Half-life 2 nausea syndrome" article?) --Mrwojo 00:25, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  People that usually get sick from playing FPS games don't buy HL2, this one affects players that do nothing else but play FPS games. I.E. the ones that whine on forums as soon as they die in a game. Philip Nilsson 12:26, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Why does Resonance Cascade redirect to Half-Life 2?  There's no information here about it.  EagleOne 19:55, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)
:Dunno.  I changed it to redirect to Half-Life instead. --Mrwojo 23:31, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I removed the screenshot on the right from the article. The reason is that this is a promotional screenshot. The level where that it depicts was modified (as evident from the absence of the city fight episode showed in one of the promo videos from the finished game). I think it would be much better if an original screenshot was included. And it would be even better if that was not a full-screen screenshot, but a number of smaller cropped images illustrating various aspects of the game (but that's optional).

replies: text: I also removed the links to screenshots and the remaining inline screenshot. I don't think the links really add to the article. And the remaining screenshot was a PR image, which may or may not fully correspond to the final game. Paranoid 01:28, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Has Half-Life 2 even been released on the xbox yet or did that go under my radar? If it hasn't, shouldn't the page state only 
Platform(s) 	PC, not Platform(s) 	PC, Xbox?
Seems a bit misleading, if only minor. Saint Empire 22:46 May 27, 2005

thread_title:  Avalibility on XBox? 

message: The first few paragraphs of the article take up quite a bit of space now.  The bits about different retail versions, etc. could probably be buried elsewhere in the article.  It might just be my warped aesthetics, but I think a short opening paragraph followed by the index box looks best.  Especially when there's a game infobox alongside as well.  --Plumbago 17:21, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it does seem kind of bloated at the beginning. Thunderbrand 17:27, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
OK.  I've hacked and moved some of the offending material.  I think a simple cut-and-paste job suffices, but please edit at will.  I think the result is much better than what we had before.  --Plumbago 20:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
