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.

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

See that is what I thought. Yet he had to keep his computer on all day to d/l the game? Seams to me he dosen't know what he is doing.

Ooooo yeahh, movies!!!!!

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?

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.

[G4M3R]

darn, I guess I should buy HL2. Looks pretty nice.

584938226[/snapback]

I think you should.

The first game I have that surpasses Halflife in terms of story and atmosphere (and the graphics aren't bad either :) )

[Kupo-Cheer]

HL2 is better than Halo2 for graphic.

584938050[/snapback]

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.

I am LOVING HL2 ... I just got through the bridge scene with all the levels and the train ... then got stuck for a bit on the battery/door trick ... but managed to get through ... I LOVE THIS GAME!

[sfay]

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...

[Emon]

I hate you guys !!! :angry: I pre-ordered this game almost an year back but I am still waiting for the mail to show up :cry:

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).

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.

[Kupo-Cheer]

Yeah, thats it. Its just been awhile since I went through there and its a really confusing part of the game.

[DjmUK]

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

[DrCheese]

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...

[DjmUK]

* 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.

[Art3x]

Could someone please please pm me how to extract all the files once i've gotten them backed up onto dvd :cry:
