[imation2458]

Finally I beat the game.....Amazing game but it gets old after a while.

[asdfvawerafd]

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.

Is anyone going to set up a CS: Source server for Neowin?

[Xeon Inc.]

hmm i wonder

in the expansion u could be a combine solider...old

and in the other xpansion u can be a refuge...old

but yet very curiosue to play

I heared its a problem with Sound Blaster sound cards. Try using your onboard. My gaming experience this far has been amazing and no bugs. I got a 9600pro, running 800x600 on High, and no choppyness in video or sound.

[JohnO]

Still no luck

Has to be my soundblaster card :(

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..

[Rogue`]

weeeee, just finished it, awesome game :) Was playin on medium...eill start it on hard tomorrow :D

[Rogue`]

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

[insaneshaft]

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.

[grid001]

i agree with Callaway (Y)

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.

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

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

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

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.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

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.

[filter04]

can anyone tell me whether or not i'm entitled to Valve's back catalogue when i buy collectors edition? or do you only get that when you buy over steam?
