Well, the problem is is that you don't speak for everyone, because I doubt the entire community has the same exact opinion about things like graphics or where the team should focus their time on. I think the graphics are pretty damn good for HL, and I'd be impressed to see them make any drastic improvements given the limitations of the aging engine the game's based on. The only confirmed thing that's going to be looked at in 1.3 is transformations as far as I know. I'd imagine that other things are going to get done, but whatever it is, I'm sure the team already has a plan set for it. They haven't done anything wrong yet, so I'd just sit back and enjoy what they present to the public free of charge.

Only time will tell.

i think he means the way the kamehameha is held while charging is lame ..
i think its fine but it would be nice if the charcter will move its legs to a better postion while charging it would look nicer .

Well, ESF is in a state of constant work in progress. Until there's ESF 1.0, all bets are off on what is finalized and what isn't, from what I understand. I'm sure the smaller issues like that will be some of the last things to get taken care of. Think of all the games that look nice but play like junk. I think the ESF team isn't trying to go that route and that's why they're adding gameplay content first over making everything look perfect and exact. But that's not to say that things don't look good as they are.

Is there any way to code the game to where you coul dhave nicer graphics to that of quake 3 or higher? I mean, the graphics are nice, but copared to nowaday stuff they are junk. Especially the maps.


I don't like how the colors of the game are so blah on the maps. They should be more like quake 3 and bright. Is there a way to recode the engine a bit to accept higher 32 bit textures?

I mean this game has huge potential, but I think it needs a graphics boost after 1.2 or 1.3. Maybe make 1.4 or 1.5, or the release before ESF Final have the goal of improving the engine's graphical limits. Like recoding it or something to accept brighter colors and such.

They would need the half life source code in order to increase the quality the graphics even further. (correct me if i'm wrong)

what???
LIMIT means u cant take it further, thats why its called limit, and I pretty much think esf took the graphic engine of half life to the limit!
to recode the graphical engine of half life?
dont think its legal.

If VALVe GPL'ed the Half-Life engine code, then it'd be possible. They haven't yet, and seeing as how that would allow for insane hacks and seeing how CS is still the most popular online game right now, I doubt it'll be anytime soon. Maybe a year after HL2 is released they'll think about GPLing it, but I'm still not sure if there'd be a conflict with id on that one (because, IIRC, the release of the rendering code isn't allowed, but they already GPLed the Quake I/II engines, so maybe they'll let VALVe release it).

No need to flame the guy... his oppinion is just as valid as yours, just you decided to go off-topic and harsh.

Speak for yourself.

Teh kamehameha is teh pwnage. Turn your resolution up a bit, the "graphics" and overall sharpness will greatly improve. And i dont know why you guys are trying to give the esf team a heart attack, i mean esf 1.2 is almost finished, they release is coming soon, why start talking about 1.3 already!?! i mean are guys really trying to give them a heart attack?

i think youre over exadurating a bit raiko. since 1.2 is basically done, whats so bad abotu talking abotu 1.3? you would have a better chance of getting your ideas in earlier than if you suggested stuff later.

oh, and turning ur your hraphics doesnt do anything to the kame sprite. dunno how you can call it pwnage, its just a glowing ball. (dunno bout 1.2)

.....nvm m8. Im just saying the kamehameha is just fine the way it is. And the reason im saying dont get worked up about 1.3 is it may give the a heart attack, ya know? like "wow, all of these people already want esf 1.3" "ya i know, its crazy i hope we dont let them down". kinda like that, like a stress thing, like why stress the team out. but thats jsut me, i honsetly dont think you guys should stress the team out over 1.3. but w/e do as you wish.
