Yeah, it's not like the title is 'guess what this gun is!'.

No but it was previously and has now been changed.

Thanks for that btw guys ;)

hmm, already asked this, but it got lost in all the love for hl2 :p

so, i'll try again:

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? or do you reckon i should just buy the silver pack off steam?

[elliot]

I have one question. Why is it that the HEV suit can run an entire computerized system that monitors your entire body, yet the flashlight wastes its power in about 10 seconds? :p

That's just it, all the power is used on the other more vital functions. :ninja:

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

back catalog is Steam Silver or Gold only, not collectors edition

id recomend steam, as you can back it all up to DVD if you want, dont need CD-Rom in tray, and is easier.

Would it violate the no 'post this' threads rule to make a 'Post the G-Man' thread? ;)

There will be HL3. It was in PCGamer Mag.

Half life 2 tip:

When you are faced with zombies coming your way. use the gravity gun to flatten a woodboard on the door, take something sharp like blades and hit the sides of the wood on the door. zombies cant go over it or under it.

I know I saw something about g-man sightings in another topic, but with the amount of separate half-life 2 topics popping up all the time I don't see why not as long as there isnt one already I missed.

Anyway, I've seen him:

In Dr. Kleiner's lab on that security camera thing Barney was using.

On a TV near where you meet the first resistance forces with the Vortigaunt that charges your suit.

Several places watching from above the docks in the Water Hazard chapter.

well, i just installed the game and i already got the new updates from steam.... the stuttering was not bad until the 4th loading screen hit, then it was just unplayable and i just quit

there are quite a few fixes posted... was that Valve update their full solution to the problem? cuz if so i guess i'll have to try other stuff... if not i'll wait until they give a proper fix, i don't mind

[vincent]

jsut bought this game right now and playedit already, it start to stutter during a major slowdown, implaying and 1280x1024. all default seetings on my card

[Djmutik1013]

yeah I know that but which one

[sfay]

Just finished it tonight, wow the game ending leaves a lot to be desired but man talk about THE best game of the year if not better. I really liked the blue grav gun ...w00t I had soo much fun tossing combine soldiers around and using them as meat shields.

[psybapunk]

looks like HL2 has tons of awards coming its way.

What is the code to give you the blue ray gun? I can only get the normal orange one.

[Varsity]

Here's an idea: if you've got the sound problem, go to Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio and toggle 'Use only default device' (it's at the very bottom) from whatever status it is now.

[Cavboy]

Here is a good page that sums up the current answers from Valve and some possible solutions - link

[Lee]

What is the role of the G-Man? I've seen him quite a few times.

[OrangeSoul]

ya whats the code for the blue ray gun??

[Kupo-Cheer]

I didn't think there still existed people who haven't played/beaten half-life 1 yet. :unsure:

[GameOverRob]
