shoot it with your grav gun

* 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.

Well, basically I am amazed at the experince HL2 is delevering me, but I dont have a nice graphics card that I would like to have (X700 coming in early next week) so I am going to stop progressing thru at this time. HOWEVER -- In the E3 Demo, I LOVED that Blue Physics/Gravity Gun, the one where he lifted the dead person up and so fourth, tossed him around and such.

I heard that you can aqquire this wepaon at the end of the game, but do to reasons stated above I dont want to soil the experince.

Is there anyway I and others can get this nifty tool BEFORE I reach the end? Im not sure which it is, if it is the "weapon_physgun" or "weapon_physcannon" but none of them bring it to my wepaon list, only the Oranged Beam Manipulator or whatever its technically called.

Any insight on getting the blue gravity gun before reaching the endis greatly appericated!

Thanks in advance,

- Nathan B.

there's a 30 page thread at halflife2net so I'm throwing this out here as well anyone getting annoying stuttering? It's ruined the entire beggining of the game for me.

YES this happened to be for the first 2 hours of gameplay.... i'm way past it now though.

UPDATE AGAIN: Well, those CFG changes didn't help either. I don't get it, and it rather ticks me off. Brand new PC, fresh install of Windows, the only thing that's on here is Intel drivers, latest Forceware, latest Audigy 2 drivers, and HL2. Why dost it sucketh muchly?

Only Valve will tell.

And they'd better do it soon.

My friend has the same problem, it occurs everytime a new sound is used in the game. He lowered the visual quality down and the stuttering decreased, but has not stopped. He just got the top of the line Nvidia card though, so he should not have to do that. I am going to try the MP3 codec disable thing mentioned on the steam forum.

youll find car batteries aroudn the place, grab one and put it in its place in the building (there are 3, 1 youll find in a car, othe runder a bathtub, 3rd is already there

any ideas?

    • 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.
