[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

i heard a theory that G-MAN is Gordon from the future, you get it, Gordon-MAN there faces also look pretty simmilar?? apparently he has come back in time, for what reason i dont know. But at the end of half life 2 when the gman is talkinga bout choice and destiny all of that it seems to fit in.

G-Man is Freeman's father!

That would be interesting:huh:: And it makes more sense then the G-Man being Gordon from the future:laugh::

I just started getting into Half Life & Half Life 2, but from what I've read so far, maybe Valve decided to create a character that would allow them to keep making more games. Maybe at the time they created the G-Man, they didn't know what he would turn out to be. Maybe they still don't... this would leave the door open for a lot of possibilities. Just my two cents;))

hi guys..

I noticed that the cheat list... that you can get off the net... like on the IGN site

HL2 cheat list

shows a lot of weapons that supposedly can be spawn... but I tried then all and I'd say that 2/3 of those cheat don't work or show an error message... the give alyxgun works... but you get a box that shoots instead of a gun...lol

I know some people talked that the E3 phys gun that shoots a blue beam an can weld objects togheter should be included in the SDK

but what about the other weapons missing from the E3 presentation and the leaked BETA???

Like those two:

and

taucannon.jpg

anyone know if they will be activated some time over... or included in the SDK??

The game play of this game kicks ass. i am having a very difficult time with the Steam business. Why does it constantly want to verify my Half Life files, and why does it take 15 minutes. (3 Meg cable modem line, more than enough power in the system)

Can wait for the no stutter patch ...

As for the weapons, the one pic'ed on the bottom looks liek the electrogun from the dune buggy ...

Where does one find the blue gravity gun?

Ok - for the first time in the game, I'm stuck.

[spoiler!!!!]

I'm at the top of the citadel, breen is in the large ball thingy and the portal has opened, I went all the way up to the top and there's the 2 gunships and alyx says "Oh no he's getting away!" , and than I start trying to shoot down the gunships as I don't see anything else for me to do, and I get the "Assignment terminated , Reason: Failure to complete time-critical sequence" etc, what do I have to do? I'd appreciate help ASAP.

Thanks :).

There are quite a few there that aren't even mentioned in prima's strategy guide. It freaked me out most when I saw him on the security camera in Nova Prospekt, he straightened his tie and walker out :devil:

That part of HL2 reminded me of the scariest level in a video game EVER, shalebridge cradle in thief III

Shoot the core. It should be fairly clear what that is...

was this the welding gun which didnt come through into the final version of HL2?

Er no.. that was just a cool Abyss like water tendril thing they used as an example of what they could do in a Tech Demo!

I guess they didn't include that because it was too similar to the green tentacles from the first game.

So that is who it was. :huh: I saw him yesterday in a remote location. I just happened to be looking around. I was going to go back there, but I lost the save.

It was on a train map where you fight those soldiers with the blue eyes for the first time. If you keep going all the way straight you'll run into some trains blocking the path. If you just happen to peek through the cracks you'll see him walking away towards a tunnel.

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
