Yeah that's what the whole thing was about, the original room was brown and covered in blood and crap. I thought a nice shade of lilac would lighten the mood. :D

I just played for a bit... what a great game. It's sooooo damned engaging, just like first one, except more so.

I was playing CS:Source and it did the same thing. Turns out my D/L wasn't complete from Steam! :)

[rageagainstmachine]

can anyone tell me if there is a inlay manual with half life 2, as i dont appear to have one!!?

[quigley0]

Argh. My HL2 Preload has been going all night, but is stuck at 35%.

Anyone else have this problem?

Why does god torture me so?

[cpu killer]

Just bought mine, couldn't be happier - now to wait for all this crap to preload :).

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Wow.. well had about an hour at it and have stopped for dinner.

This game is f'ing stunning... and those Manhack things are bloody 'orrible!!

Amazing.. can't wait to finish eating and get on playing :)

[Medievil]

[Fr3d]

is ther a demo yet? not that i want it, cos im gonna get the gold bundle after i've eaten a bit... but im just curious :D

[mramm]

ok... i brought the retail dvd copy... go to install it and the installler says 'can't find the file hl2.ico1 in 'hl24.cab'.....

a quick scan of the dvd reveals this file is in hl25.cab!!! what the hell can i do? it wont let me specify where the file is, and then it just uninstalls everything.... ideas?!?!!?

It happens with the CD version also. I did not do CS (see post above) cause all that I have is Dialup so I ain't playing online.

Will try with CS tonight.

[rageagainstmachine]

as per above que!

i dont appear to have one, so i was just wondering :blink:

[quigley0]

if I delete the source cfg files, does that delete my CS: Source game?

[qdave]

nope... only reference guide:

is it supposed to take a few minutes to register your cd key with steam? is it decrypting the files?

It appears not, mine didn't have one either. Haven't played it yet (still installing), I can't wait

I think it's just because of the mass bandwith they must be using, between registering people,. pre-loading,. etc.. I'm suprised the internet in still running :laugh:

lol yea it just said steam was too busy to complete my registering request and now its unlocking the files :D

on a side note, this could mean people with warez versions could unlock their game w/o registering their cdkey right now....right?

[biorK]

The steam servers may be a little hammered as many want to pre-load HL2 now. After it's released :s

[Veedems Veteran]

I just played quickly up to the part right after the teleportation gets screwy. The facial animations are amazing and the VO's are just as good. I did get some stddering sound, though, even though the game itself ran smoothly.

[biorK]

I love the game, been playing a few hours. The water scooter is AWESOME, I loved that chapter. :drool:

[vbtweakin]

i'm so jealous, but on another side i know with exams coming up i would be playing it all the time instead of studying. Maybe i'll get it for Thanksgiving, since im really interested in playing DOD:Source and ofcouse def want to try it out on my radeon 9800pro.
