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.

thank you that did it. i shot another barrel by the area eariler but i didnt see the other barrel

My girlfriend bought me the game, but she lives in Southern California. If she reads to me the CD key, can I register HL2 through steam and download the game?

You can indeed.

Oh, so when people bought the game over Steam, they were roughly just given a CD Key to register with?

584940203[/snapback]

No, the people who bought thru steam had the games added to their account as one of the games they own, so they can access, download, and run it whenever they need to.

HL2 is better than Halo2 for graphic.

Duh... its a PC game. Any PC game can look better than a 3 year old console. Of course Half-Life 2 looks better than Halo 2 with all the graphical settings on low too... lol. Its the gameplay that matters and Half-Life 2 is just so much fun to play.

BTW I was seriously creeped out through that city with all the headcrabs and stuff with the priest who kept laughing ... man I was low on health and out of ammo! was sweating something serious.

That's where I'm stuck, the last thing the priest said to me was "See you in the church" or something like that, and I can't find out how to get there (or the next stage).

Please help.

If you're in this big area with a body hanging from a rope in the center and a place where you can climb onto the rooftops (wow, I dunno how to describe it...) well, theres a lever you have to pull nearby to move this little platform on a rope over to where you can use it to jump on to the next area. Took me forever to find the lever...

Yeah, that's the place, I found the lever - pushed it, then jumped up to the rooftops again, noticed a new plank on cable, carried across over the buildings...then reached a metal balcony thingy. Jumped onto the next metal balcony (it then collapses). Went through that building and ended up back in the yard (body hanging)...and can't figure out a way out :(

That happened to me too. I think theres a second path in that building with the attic that will lead you to a new area.

I found the attic, but it's empty - nothing in there of use...this is as far as I've got with no clue how to go from here :(

I did find a fence with a car and a plank of wood perched up to it (other side of fence, like a launch ramp), went into the lift but the controls don't work (electric problem I think).

Well theres a second path through that house downstairs I think.

I just finished that area, I was stuck there too, came back after an hour of tv, and i figured it out. What you have to do is once you get into the house (after the stairs collapse), you go down the stairs, it loads a new map, there will be two paths, one to the left, and a ladder directly in front of you, take the ladder, kill some guys in the room, and there will be a door on the wall to the right, go through it and continue.

Thank you, it worked - all because I tried putting WinXP into Hibernation whilst playing HL2 (you see it works with UT2004). What happened is that it disabled my "Use" key, but now I've restarted HL2 it all works again.

Thanks man - 3am in the morning and I'm gonna' play some more...in the dark :s

hmpf, not finished the game yet, But nearly there... Pretty darn annoyed if its just a "middle" part of it, I'm not waiting 6 years to finish it off :/ To be honest, I don't think theres really been much of a story at all. Nothings been explained so far, who the combine are, other than that we had a 7 hour war with them, why some of the xen aliens are helping the humans etc. Also I was under the impression that city 17 would be a bigger part of the game, It was basically all that was talked about in the months before HL2 was released. Yet again its not really explained how or why your there...

* SPOILERS (Stuck Again) *

Now I'm at the stage where the crane made my new buggy go upside down :( all I can hear is "Get that car upright, and get the hell out of here"...I would if I could. Can't figure out where the controls are for that crane (so I can turn the car upside down by myself)...quite annoying really.

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
