[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

LOL - this sucks. I've just taken 4 days off work. Maybe I should have added today aswell as I left for work 45 minutes before it was unlocked.

Now I have to wait all day before I can play the game as I don't think our net admins would appreciate me hogging the bandwidth on our net connection :(

Ah well, full day off tomorrow so I can stay up all night :-p

Here's a couple screenshots (no spoilers, its just of the first level)

The last one looks so good in person, the birds start flying off when there is a loud noise.

HI,

I'm thinking of buying the Limited (silver) Edition of HL2.

However, do you guys think that this game (without any adjustments to my system, coz I don't have the money) runs smoothly (system specs in sig)... or is my videocard the bottleneck and do you guys suggest to wait for either a new card or new PC?

i bought the silver package a bit ago.

good value i think.

half life 2 is downloading.

half life source is also download.

can't wait to get going.

using a geforce fx 5600 amd hoping for the best.

if half life 2 plays pretty crappy i'll have fun with half life source until i get a new card.

Hey alright. I'm only 45 mins into the game, but here are some screenys for anyone that has to wait for the game. More will come so just wait till tomarrow after i get some sleep :) .

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
    • SpaceX has secured a significant cloud-services deal with Google, agreeing to a monthly payment of $920 million for computing power.  This agreement, covers approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs and other components.... https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/investments/google-to-buy-computing-from-spacex-at-920-million-per-month/131543026    
    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
