I thought that was an awesome ghost like baddie there, but now I think it's just smoke from the gun.

Sure this isn't all just some april fools joke?

wtf why doesn't the board use aspect-correct scaling?
It scaled the height of your image, but not the width.
nvm it evaporated is scaled right now.

It seems that the image starts out scaled properly. When I click on it, it switches to the full-size version. But when I click again, it only switches the height, not the width, so it's flattened.

Anyway, that's weird, reminds me of the Hydra enemy they eliminated during an early playtest of Half-Life 2. It was a blue vapor tentacle shaped kinda like that, but they said it was hard to see or hard to target (It IS a tentacle ffs) and it kept killing people from out of nowhere, so they dropped it.

Why is the image cropped to a weird size, anyway?

I think it's just smoke from the gun.

I don't think the pistol makes orange and green smoke that curves and forms spikes. Does it?

It's gone from the gallery now and all the comments have been deleted. That's how the image was, no higher resolution available. Direct link is still up. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/04/hltriembargoed413.jpg

It may just be art, to be released in a couple of weeks as a teaser for E3. But I'll take this as confirmation that we should be seeing something at E3 for Half-Life. NDA and all

Seems to me like an April Fools joke.

(Damn, can't believe I was that gullible, but who doesn't hope for ANY news on Episode three. I hope that excuses my excitement)
