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..

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode. This Vengeance variant has RGB so if you love bright setups with such lighting, this is a win-win for you. The technical specifications of the Corsair Vengeance memory kit are given in the table below: Specification Value Memory Type DDR5 Memory Size (Total) 32GB Kit Configuration 2 × 16GB Form Factor UDIMM (Desktop) Pin Count 288-pin Speed (Data Rate) 6000 MT/s Speed Rating PC5-48000 Tested CAS Latency 38-44-44-96 Voltage (Tested) 1.35V Performance Profile AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Heat Spreader Aluminum heatspreader Cooling Type Passive (Heatsink) Lighting Ten Zone RGB Software Support Corsair iCUE Get it at the link below: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 CL38 – Gray (CMH32GX5M1E6000Z38): $339.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US, Fulfilled by Amazon US) This Woot deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
