Half-Life 2 Lost Coast, Antlion Troopers

Ant writes "Antlion Troopers is a series of Half-Life 2 modifications where it puts you on the squad of a combine expeditionary force to fight off the antlion population. Just think of Starship Troopers movies. The sequel, Deuce, lets you interact with the squad members, set up sentry guns, etc."Additionally, Gamespot has a first look at the Lost Coast add-on for the main campaign. From the article: " You fight your way up a sheer cliff face, trading fire with those pesky Combine soldiers every step of the way. You'll occasionally have to deal with some of the more vicious sorts of headcrabs, and at the end you'll have to bring down a Combine gunship with Gordon Freeman's trusty rocket launcher. You'll have to solve a couple of light physics puzzles as well, which we won't detail for the sake of preserving at least a little of the surprise."

Does it still give you motion sickness?

I have no idea what the hell is going on. But Half-Life 2 gives me major motion sickness. Never had that before playing these games.

I can play CS:S with no problems. Been playing Battlefield 2 everyday. Red Orchestra through UT2004 quite a bit. So just 3 nights ago, I thought I'd fire up HL:2 and go a little further and WHAM about 2 minutes in I begin to get queasy again. Breaking out in a cold sweat and very nauseous.

No idea...

The HL2 FoV is far too narrow by default.

Try the following:

sv_cheats 1
default_fov 90
fov 90

It auto-detects the DirectX hardware level of your card. High for a DX7 card would probably be low/medium on a DX8 card and low for a DX9 card. You need the latest in video cards to have the best graphical experience. I saw a major difference running in medium when I went from a GF3 to 6600GT.
