ATI is also giving away a FREE license for Half Life 2: Episode Two, along with it's included freebies, namely Team Fortress 2 and Portal, all registered trademarks of Valve, if you buy their upcoming ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT DirectX 10 video card. Half Life 2: Episode Two isn't out yet, but I believe that the starting price when it's released will be over the US$50 range.
You can finish Lost Coast in less than 15 minutes, but the point of this demo is getting the feel of Havoc 2, the game engine that Valve produced highlighting its Physics capabilities. This engine is so advanced that even the US-AF licensed to use it at the time it was released. If you have a system fast enough to max everything out, you'll really enjoy Lost Coast, the very life like water, wood, sky, clouds, actually everything you see is as good as real. Each material reacts the way it should when hit, shot, stepped on, burned, etc.
Notice the pictures on the left, you are looking at a very dynamic world, even the old man's avatar has his own mannerisms like the way he blinks his eyes, or the way he moves his lips when speaking, all very real like.
I can't seem to stay long in a Death-Match game, the console keeps kicking me out, says my ping is too high! What gives? Isn't high ping good? Maybe high means low? I'll keep trying, so far the longest I've stayed in a game was about a minute. Death Match feels a lot like Counter Strike, except that you have default weapons during game start without having to purchase any, and if you live long enough your arsenal gets better. I'm not yet sure how to change default weapons, if at all possible, since my connection never lasted long enough for me to play around with the options.
The pictures on the right show both a bird's eye view, and a battle field view, of a regular Death Match map.
