[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread

[csabo2]

im glad to hear its good, i cant buy it until i get paid again on dec 7th :( had to pay a large gas bill this month. i nearly cried when the popup said "half life 2 now playing"

[mootymoots]

i noticed a flammable barrel rolling forwards and backwards on its side continuously. Now thats either a cunning idea on valves part to show there is liquid in there, or a bug :)

You decide lol

[mediVh]

indeed wat i have played is really good, throwing cans at the combine soldiers is funni, hahaha

[gunky]

I just need to know, was that valved borked like that...when you first got to it? Because I shot through the window (i think i hit the valve also...) and blew it up. now it doesn't work, and i've got nowhere to go.

you don't need that valve, from playing so far the basic drift of the game, i'm getting anyway, is three pronged:

1. once you do something, you probably have to go back to wherever you came from

2. if you see something and it looks like you are capable of doing it, you probably have to

3. if you're stuck, it's probably because they want you to do something with the physics engine

if i had those 3 things in mind, i would not have been stuck once, at least up until the point i'm at now.

p.s. are explosive barrels going to be this generations crates?

p.p.s. not that there aren't plenty of crates in this game

Sorry mate, right behind me....there's nothing there?

[dreamthief]

take out your dad's dvd drive over to your computer. Plug it in your computer and install from there. Simple as that.

[mediVh]

Anyway, I'm stuck again. I accidently shot threw a window with a grenade or something (out of the gun...) and as i jumped through the window, the valve seemed to be broken. Now I have idea where to go!

How's he supposed to read the DVD to an image if he doesnt have a DVD drive you twonk?

Download it from the internet, and use your bought key to activate it. Or spend a whole 10-15 quid on a dvd rom drive.

[jam3z]

i got a virtual dvd drive but how do i get the files from the hl2 dvd on to it?

i can get to the files on the dvd coz of my dads networkd dvd drive but how i turn it into an image??

[pza]

nice wallpapers :yes:

[lnmnky]

Install it on your dad's pc, register it with steam. Then log on your pc, login to steam. and download the files through steam.

It should only download enough for you to play, not everything.

[Charisma_]

Read my post above yours, that's the only way unless you can remove your dad's dvd drive.
