WHAT A CRAP ENDING

yeah i was kinda let down that you didnt learn anything from playing the game. :no: but this is supposed to be the middle chapter, still you would like it to explain something then leave something still for the next game but no they dont tell you anything more than you already knew/concluded from looking at the videos, screenshots, etc. :no:

[Sporkguy]

Yeah, I'm still trying to work out GMan's purpose

[Scazza]

just completed it and wow, its worth every minute you play it :D

Cannot wait for the next also the blue grav gun r0xx3rs!!

[Sporkguy]

Whats the point in having such an unsatisfactory ending? ffs they havent even confirmed there will be a half life 3, and even if there is, I didnt want to play through the game to be told at the end, oh, wait another 6 years and we might make it worth your while. It was a fun game but talk about anti climax. And where's the multiplayer? CS:source - a free mod made better looking, with less maps and no new features whatsoever, yea thats great, thanks valve. 6 years and you cant even put in a basic multiplayer with DM/TDM, yet you can charge me ?35 for a single player campaign thats not challenging even on hard setting.

Gamespot slated it in the review, but gave it a 9.2... It confused the hell out of me..

When I say slated, I mean they are saying the story is really bad etc. or something alike - you can read it if you go there, just click review on the half life 2 section. Anyway, I?m on the level past the Jet Ski thingy, and I prefer this walking around thing more to the vehicle on water... the gravity gun is awesome.

Anyone know if you get any other vehicles?.. I was hoping for an on road buggy sorta thing.

What do I do now? No matter what I try, the vehicle can never clear the gap...

edit nvm wrong car

* SPOLIER ANSWER *

I think that's where I got stuck yesterday and someone here helped me out, stacking barrels to get into that red-lit shoot won't work.

Answer is easy, go into the other rooms (jumping on the pipes), jump down to the water and look about half-way up the pipes for a red valve that will let the water rise.

use the turbo, it will make it coz thats where you have to go so all i can suggest is press shift to use the turbo ?

[andy2004]

Thank you ! lemme go see if it works if it does thank you thank you :D

[DjmUK]

I'm also stuck, I think it's Ravenhouse level (forgot the name). Anyways here's what happens:

* SPOILERS *

After the hovercraft part into this new area.

Dark, and nice lighting

As you approach there is a man at the top shooting the enemies for you.

Turn off all the gas mains to get through the fires (by turning them all off).

Jump on the car to get across all the ledges.

...

Man throws me a shotgun :), and says "meet you in the church (or something to that affect)".

Killed all the monsters.

Jumped to rooftop, across planks, turned the lever to give me another plank.

Jumped from one metal floored balcony to the other, where it collapses, killed all monsters in the room...and now I'm stuck - there's nowhere else to go :(

Allot of people are saying the game is easy to complete, I?m guessing these people are big fans of hl1, because I don?t have that much time to play it... And I?m still on the 3rd level... Allot of the time, I play around with the physics in the levels... I find it a bit pointless for someone to just forget all of that and literally do it all at once, I mean... Check out the gravity gun especially, i find it interesting to test other objects etc, anyway... I?m still loving the game, and No one has thought about mods yet! I remember countless mods on the pc mags I used to buy... This will add so much more life the game... Like what multi theft auto done to vice city. I?m sure there will be plenty of them!

I didn't know there was a turbo, there is no mention of it in the controls section of Settings. I'll try it now :D

[acidic-e-]

Ok question guys. My gf came home from work today and said that one of the guys she works with said he got the HL2 CE version but when he went to install it he had to D/L the entire 4+gig of HL2 in order to play. Is this true? I was under the impression that the DVD would have the full game and the extra's as well. wtf?

Screenshot what area you mean. There are two doors that need to be opened from what I remember. One by a button in a watch tower, and one by exploding some barrels which makes a girder fall and crash into the doors.

I don't know if this is the right spot, but if it is, you need to put the batteries into the device that's inside the house. They should be littered about.

The dvd contains the preloads, you don't have to download them.

[Hills420]

Is there a console command in Half Life 2 that is similar to " timedemo demo1 " in Doom 3?
