I remember back when hl2 was being released there was talk from valve about exclusive "ati levels".

Anyone remember what happened to these or did they basically stop production on them and start on the episodic content?
 
basically ati sucked back then. but i think the got some sort of voucher for some sort of free game?
 
ATI cards around the 9600/9800 period came with a voucher that was basically the Valve complete pack at the time. Half Life engine games and Source engine games of the time.

Yep i remember that too, you got hl2 free among other things when buying your card. I also remember them doing it with the ati 2900xt/pro cards ;)
 
No they didn't, the HL2 vouchers were when Radeon 9800 was out completely trouncing nvidia!

Yup got a voucher with my 9800XT :D

Loved that card :D

Also afaik the Loast Coast was just a tech demo released to showcase the new HDR stuff and 64-bit capability back in 2005 don't think it was made for ATi.

ATI owned nVidia back then. the 9 series was awesome. nVidia's FX series failed hard.

I got my copy of HL2 free with my 9600XT :D Also got into the CS:S beta with it as well, was well chuffed.
Don't recall anything about ATI specific levels though?
