[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 released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
