Recommended Posts

lol good job..

well the ending was bad-bad is more like good-bad

bad cuz it left many questions in the dark

good cuz there will be a hl3 and for modders to do there own mods of wat supposily comes next..

i dono,

what do u guys think of the ending?

could it have been elaborated just a bit more

Gabe said they will be doing expansion packs like opposing force for hl1, so you guys that said the game is short dont worry more is coming

o well thats great isnt it, so we can spend more money and hopefully get a decent multiplayer? or actually a storyline which makes sense? or maybe even an ending which isnt a hopeless cop out? pigs might fly.

The only time it happens for me is straight after it loads the next section.....prolly clears all the sounds from the cache and then has probs loading the new ones? I aint tried anything to fix it tbh....wasnt that much of a pain....still enjoyed the game!!! :p

But if someone fixes it, I will use the fix for when i start the game again on Hard :D

that'll teach them for not going the iD engine route. :cool:

doesn't stutter a lot for me, only after i've been playing for long periods the system ram is on it's last leg (1 gig ddr400) ... and mainly when i quicksave or it loads in a huge chunk of video/audio data.

For those complaining about the ending, I have a feeling Valve has something up their sleeve. Hasn't HL3 already been pretty much confirmed?

Yes I believe I've read somewhere that Gabe gave big hints that there is a HL3, or even he mentioned that there is a HL3 planned.

yes he has said that most if not all profit made off of hl2 will be going to the development of hl3. I just hope it doesnt take as long cause this game is sweet!!!! (and im only on chapter 4, lol) how long did it take u guyts to beat it on medium

i jsut used teh search, couldnt find it, link, or what to search for "Counter strike Source server " and " Neowin Counter strike source " brings up to many results

already done use the search function!  :woot:

so does this game end on a major cliffhanger like Halo 2 did?  I've just heard alot of people complaining about the end of it...

No game will ever finish like Halo 2 did. That was a big mistake on Bungie's part.

From what I've heard, Half Life 2's ending isn't bad- it just doesn't tie everything together, leaving possiblities open for a third game.

im a couple maps away from finishing it myself, but from what i hear, yes it is a cliffhanger ending, mainly because HL3 is confirmed, and Expansion packs are in the works. if it ended point blank, there wouldnt be much room for either of those 2.

so does this game end on a major cliffhanger like Halo 2 did?  I've just heard alot of people complaining about the end of it...

The only time I get studdering is when the little window popsup and says "Loading". Then for like 1-2 seconds after that it jumps a bit, but the game studderes too..

    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
