[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread

[mko]

bah thankds for fixing spoilers :)

[BroChaos Veteran]

so did people ever figure out if this game was playable without an internet connection?

[whytehouse]

Admittedly a newbie question as I noticed HL2 was ready to go this morning, fired it up for about 2 minutes, then had to head in to work.....

I noticed that there is no multiplayer "button" just new game.

Am I to believe that CS:Source is basically the multiplayer HL2? Are we not going to get multiplayer Gordon???!!!!

If CS: Source is the answer, am I the only one who thinks the graphics of CS: Source are great, but the netcode blows major chunks???

I thought Valve was going to stop all the cheating with HL2 multiplayer. CS:Source is already full of wallhack, aimbot, etc.....

Also, if there is supposed to be HL2 multiplayer besides CS:Source does it use the same crappy netcode?

After two weeks of CS:Source, I am already very tired of the crappy multiplayer experience. Again, the graphics are great, but the lag, shooting through walls, HAX, etc. just sucks. Call of Duty, UT2K4, etc. the list goes on....there are so many games with much better multiplay code. I had high hopes for HL2 multiplayer. Please tell me I'm missing something here.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

[thankins]

This may help a little. I didn't read all of it though so maybe it won't

CD to DVD

Just wait :whistle:

uh...congratulations?

you must also eat really fast at dinner and jump up yelling "done!" with food still in your mouth.

seriously.  did you even 'savor' the game?  take in the story?  check out anything other than the shortest line from start to finish?  and what's with the screenshot of the explosion...that might be considered spoilers for some, and you didn't tag it accordingly.

yeah for real , it's been what 9 hours max , since the game was released.

[Xer34]

I think theyre gonna have HL: Source multiplayer, and maybe (hopefully) MAYBE Team Fortess. Dont know the official word on it though.

[Surr3al]

Yeah, Thanks Radish.

I really have a hard time congratulating people that beat games this fast.

If you really beat it then I almost pity you. It's unfortunate that you didn't even savor the game where some people play one hour a day and think about possible outcomes, possible conclusions to cutscenes... like watching some episodal drama on tv.

It is not possible, as you need the internet to unlock it :p

[trashcanglam]

Looks like someone found God-mode :no:

[D!ABOL!C]

Now that HL2 is finally out, it's time for the obligatory "Where is Team Fortress 2?" question. :p

HL2 should keep most of us busy for a while, but I would like to see a non CSS mulitplayer game soon.

Looks like someone found God-mode  :no:

[stupidape]

I think they made a statement saying the multiplayer side will be just CS: Source, cant remember. Will try and find it when i get home

[qdave]

ahhhhhhh, i am so excited :D installing it now :p man...its so slow :(

[dreamthief]

nahh.. i htink they just selected the easiest mode and sprinted throughout the game. Not really enjoying it.

Reason : to be the first to complete the game and post the screenshot. durr

I jsut called up ATI and they're saying that it'll take 4-6weeks (which i knew), upon

going on their website, it says it'll take 8-10weeks!! plus additional shipping and handling charges! wtf? all that after paying $400 for my vid card??? :angry:

anyways, i'm just downloading the game via steam. the thing is, i registered the cdkey, but then it said, network is busy or something like that (transaction not completed). does that mean it has registered? (cuz, i'm downloading HL2 (it says its updating HL2, 551mins left :cry: ) as we speak). :huh:

anyways, i'm a little lost so as to if steam as acutally registered my key or not. or did it get lost in the transaction???

[S.MULLA]

what an idiot- he finished the game soo quickly. without evn appreciating the game itself.. :no:

i havent even got home yet.. another 3hours :cry: i've got held up at uni... :no:

[trashcanglam]

Back to a question that's been asked a few times but never adequately answered - I bought the bronze package a while back as I was a bit skint and didn't think HL:Source would actually come out at the same time as HL?. Do we know if it'll be available to purchase separately ie. as a bolt-on to your existing sub? I assume they'd charge ?20 for it:p:p

[Xer34]

Sorry, but its going to take some time. Steam has been loaded since midnight last night. Just wait man.. I know its hard.

[blackcoffee]

NICE!
