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..

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
