[qdave]

here is what i did so that hl2 would work for me. it was crashing to desktop before lright before menu screen would load :(

Part 1 :

--------------

In the directory :

E:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\STEAM _ACCOUNT_NAME\half-life 2

there is a directory named "bin" that contains many .dll etc

Part 2 :

--------------

Enter the "bin" directory and copy all the files to

E:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\STEAM _ACCOUNT_NAME\half-life 2

Part 3 :

--------------

Select all the files and directories (EXCEPT THE "BIN" DIRECTORY) in

E:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\STEAM _ACCOUNT_NAME\half-life 2

and copy it to 'bin' directory.

Part 5 :

--------------

Quit Steam

=> Reload Steam, and Launch the game

I was looking forward to Half-Life 2 with all my heart, and now that I?ve finished it, I?m actually a bit let-down. I found the story to be kind of? empty. I also was disappointed by the lack of enemies to fight; the biggest and most fun enemies to fight were the fewest in number. I was also disappointed that the game only introduced three new weapons from the original (though the gravity gun was fun), and took some of the coolest weapons from the original out completely (all four of the alien weapons, the satchel charges, and the trip mines).

The game?s graphics are the best I?ve EVER seen, the audio is fantastic, and the feel of the game owns any others out there, but I was just disappointed by it. I kept hearing that the game is the ?Best PC Game Ever,? and that just wasn?t the case for me, despite the fact that I LOVED the original Half-Life endlessly.

That said, while people felt that DOOM 3 was overhyped, I thought it was an absolute BLAST to play through. I was always on the edge of my seat, always surprised, etc.

While I?m not going to compare the two in a formal statement (ie. saying HL2 is better than DOOM 3, or vice versa, since they are different games), I just think I had a lot more fun playing through DOOM 3 than I did HL2. I?m going to replay it in a few weeks, and see if my expectations were what got in the way of my enjoyment of the game.

WHAT IS A THUMPER?

[DrCheese]

A thumper is a funky thing in the game that stops the antlions from reaching you on the sand, They run away in fear :p

[empty]

haha, the thumpers pwn. totally tremors style.

Anyone know how to get the blue grav gun on an earlier level? I thought it would be fun to go and play with it on other levels, but it won't let me :(. I tried various things from http://cheats.ign.com/ob2/068/492/492830.html?fromint=1 . No luck

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

You get the blue grav gun in the Citadel - but I won't tell you how - that would just be soiling the story ;)

I need help anyway - I *think* i'm near the end - Dr Breen is in the teleporter and i'm right at the top of the tower with him screeching at me that i've failed - what the hell do i do once i reach the top?!

[Nexus-]

throw energy balls into the spinning stuff at the top of the thing it breaks them apart.

Spoiler? Illl put it in white just in case.

You get it on the last level, it is basically just a suped up grav gun. Has a longer range and allows you to grab just about anything like nades and people, its fun because you get to throw people around the whole level.
