[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

Found from countless threads being spammed on the steampowered.com forums:

A link to this particular thread I found it in: http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthr...threadid=172895

This guys asking for it to be unlocked through steam now since the street date has apparently been broken, but I doubt they will with just a few days left till its release.

Ironically I don't think he can even play it still since it needs to be activated through steam I'm pretty sure, and that activation wont be allowed till the actual release date. Still, what I wouldn't give for a copy of Half-Life 2 in my hands right now :( ...

We'll know if this is true if it gets leaked onto the internet. I'm sure if it's true it'll be out very, very shortly as Steam is hysterically easy to crack. Or so I heard.

Well if it does get out early through leaks then it wont be the first time anyway at least, plus its only a few short (long?) days till the real release.

:woot: ive been waiting years for this... :cry:

I remember the time of the leak, i wrote an article that got deleted on accident by a crappy host I had at the time. I recently found it on archive.org. Check out what it was like if your in the mood for a peak.

Isn't HL2 meant to be 6 cd's, not 5?

Yeah, I just noticed that too. Well, theres still a chance that its a fake anyway. Looking at the picture again I realize that every component of that could have been faked.

is there not a DVD version because why have 6 Cd's when you could have 1 DVD?????

Almost everyone has a DVD-Rom/DVD-RW would it save them money because they only need 1 Disc or give the option for a DVD Version or the 6 Cd version????

The collectors edition is on a DVD.

All that thread possibly proves on the steam forums, and this picture for that matter, is that this guy, and possibly some other guy (they say there is another thread at rage3d although you cannot get to it atm), have the game in their possession.

They are probably both workers from EBgames or something, who thought they would get themselves some attention and/or stir up some controversy by posting pics. I hardy consider this the street date being broken.

Just my opinion. nothing less. nothing more.

    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
