[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread

[JoGro123]

I can run CS:Source fine though

repeated sounds doesn't mean its got anything to do with your soundcard.

your gpu might be overheating, or your cpu for that matter.

[Blindlabel013]

What the hell are you blabbing about? If checking the thread every 5 minutes equals checking it every hour or so, then yes, I check it every five minutes. Second of all, Im not even home so I cant play the damn game, and thirdly why the hell do you care? Mind your own business. You make yourself look like a jackass. The only thing that has quote "ruined" the game for me was when some idiot posted a screen of the last part. The mods already said to limit the amount of postings with spoilers in it. Get a life.

That's still besides the point of what I said. Someone like that will come back and post something else that might ruin the game and you're going to end up seeing it and be angry that you did. Just don't read anything about the game until your done with it, that's is if you don't want someone to ruin it for you. It's kind of pointless to go hush hush don't say anything because you know someone is going to end up saying something. It's like walking into girls locker room, you may or may not see a boobie ;).

Why do I care? Because it's kind of like walking into it, you can't blame anyone but your self for coming the the thread. You know everyone ends up posting someone thing may ruin the game. It happens on every game release and every movie release.

Who's cooking dinner tonight, hun? :p

[DeKay]

[Kerm]

Just leave it on what it sets it to, cept turn Trilinear filtering down to Bilinear, and keep to 800x600 i reckon. Still looks awesome.

P.s them spinny blade flying things are awesome, little buggers!

[psybapunk]

the game is all that it was cracked up to be. I wasn't disappointed like I was with doom3.

He doesn't want the game ruined, he should read anything about the game...

[Medievil]

i cant play it yet due to my gx card, but how is the game????

is it really what we expected it to be??

wonna know before i buy it :D

[mikey]

I love this game, but ive gotta stop playing because it's giving me headaches staring for so long :(

[islanq]

Hahah it's 9:19am PST (I just started work at 9am) and I'll ready I'm itching to get out and go play. I seriously think this game is going to change the way people look at gaming forever. I'm really happy for gamers everywhere this year that we have got AWESOME flagship games for every consol,. Halo 2 (xbox),. GTA:San Andres (PS2),. and now HL2 (PC). I do however feel sorry for consol gamers because there is no way they can know the joy of holding their optical mouse with the great 5.1 sound and a 256MB video card. There is just so much more detail in PC games then consol. I HOPE TO GOD they don't spoil this game by releasing it to consol (atleast not for a while). I'm going to run to the mall @ lunch to go buy a strat guide for when I get stuck. Anyone have any tips on the best strat guide?

BTW Current specs in sig,.

3.93E GHz P4,. 1GB Cosair XMS PC4000,. 6800GT (420/1120),. Audigy 2,. Zalman 5.1 headphones.

All I have to say is DAMN... When I am just exploring around (not during figts) i get about 200FPS - 250FPS and when I get a lot of action (fighting,. explosions,. etc.) I get about 120FPS - 150FPS @ 1600x1200 with 4xAF and 8xAA

I find the game stutters after loading a level, for a few seconds. I've 1GB of memory. I'll bet you have a lot less.

[Dashel]

Which Forceware revision are you using?

[Lt.Dan]

Every time i try to launch HL2 i get this error: unable to authenticate original disc within time limit. Yes, I have the DVD in the drive but i'm still getting the error. Any ideas?

Thanks

same and some times when some thing big is gonna happen like new music playing.

[Kerm]

From what i've seen of the game, 3 hours ish, its not one bit a let down. I was gutted at Doom, but not this. Oh no.

I was also pretty worried because CS:Source runs awful on my computer, and i was sure HL2 would follow but it doesn't, it runs fine!

Also my apologies BlindLabel013 i just didn't see the point you were trying to make.

:D

[Dashel]

Kick yourself for not using Steam? :p

Seriously though, if you have two drives try the other one. Disable any 'virtual' drives you might have.

[Kerm]

Best advice for strategy guide would be don't get one, figure it out for yourself, much more rewarding and fun.

[Dashel]

Can't say I've run into a stutter or repeating sound. I also have a nForce2 chipset with 9800 Pro.

[Cosmos]

I got the same, try putting sound quality to low - fixed it for me.

[Kerm]

I've got the AC97 sound chipset and get stuttery sounds sometimes, nothing serious.

Might try turning sound down to low quality just to keep it completely smooth.

[ZombieFly]

same problem on audigy and cmedia onboard sound.

tip: switch dx acceleration down a notch, sorts most of it out :cool:

[Groovedude]

mmmm you sure you have enough graphics power ?
