Hi guys!

It's been almost a year since I've been watching your progress on your GE mod. At first I was really impressed by the screenshots. But I had never played Half-Life so I didn't think it was worth trying.

Well a week ago, I stumbled again on your website and since I've been playing GE64 these days, I decided to give it a try. So I went to the mall and bought a copy of HL2 : Episode one, and I installed GE : Source.

My first reaction was WOW! It looks and feel like the old one! You did one amazing job!

I'm just getting used to playing with the Half-Life gaming experience, which is very different from the Nintendo 64. So if you play against me and wonder "who's this sucky player???", well it must be me. :)

Oh and I was wondering, you must already have discussed the issue, but what the heck : the ONLY thing I find awkward is the speed of the game. It goes very faster than GE64. Is there a way to change this, is it a future project or the Half-Life source restrains you from doing a such thing?

Ryan [Saiz]:
We can adjust player speed and we have been toying with it and adjusting it until it feels right. Another thing though is that we have to adjust the game from the original 4 player games to 8-16 player games. It is tricky to find an even balance but we are working on it so you know.

Personally I like the speed, as I absolutely hated the slow speed of GE64; my friends and I always used the Turbo Speed cheat to get things going and not waste a bunch of time slowly plodding along trying to find people.

I think I've played with you a few times before Sonik...good to see youve joined the forums. If you're not used to a keyboard and mouse, it will probably take a bit to get used to.

As far as the speed, I think it's perfect. Yea I like keeping things original...but I think slowing people down would just make it drag. I think it'd be a lot easier to kill someone if people were moving slower. To be honest, I find 4,5+ player matches very intense...pretty much the same feeling I got playing GE64. A good intense, of course...

Just my two cents on that subject. They've done an awesome job getting me hooked right from the start, the same way Rare did.

kraid:
IMO GE64 wasn't slow. Maybe your controll-Sticks are worn out.
As for me I prefer the Controller-Configuration 1.2 so there isn't a problem with walkingspeed.
I would say the speed is the same but the level Architecture of the non-classic maps is a little bit larger, so it seems slower.
e.g. in complex_classic the speed seems to be higher, but it's only the Level which is smaller.
