i took my time beating it, in fact i beat it about 6 minutes ago to be exact. its been loads of fun and i cannot wait till i can get some of my buddies who know how to program well and develop mini-mods for it. :) i r 1337 mapper guy. in all seriousness its not only the game that makes half-life 2 so great its the engine.

i saw him walking inbetween trains, before the start of the highway 17 level (in the train station,outside). if you squat to look what's behind some trains in an area where you can't get to, he just pops out and walks, then he's gone. I used fraps & the noclip cheat to capture the movie, but i'm at work right now.

That's so true. I wish a DVD version of Doom 3 was available. Oh well, I bought it today because HL2 changed my opinion on single-player games - and my GPU is lagging while playing Doom 3 <-- I'll have to wait for my next upgrade in order to play it...but that's life.

Guys - I read this thread hoping that at the end of the game I would get the actual phsycannon from the E3/Leaked version that is shown in the screenshots posted by sp0rk. And you guys are WRONG.

The gun you get is just your normal antigravity gun, but charged up to hell with electricity and stuff. It's nothing like the phsycannon I had so much fun with in the leaked version. It's gotta be hidden in there somewhere though. Must be in a dev mode or something, since it was basically just there to show off the physics at E3....

u my friend are a retard!

they know! so acctually u r wrong.

just to clear things up 4 u.

Physgun = blue beamed gun (as featured in E3 demo) (unavalible in acctual game)

Physcannon = the gravity gun u get from alex (which is charged up on the last level)

LMAO Cream! :rofl:

Well, I bought the game sunday evening :sleep: > had day off from work today :) > played it like mad :woot: > and now just completed it :fun:

All I can say is that Valve have done it again :happy:

I would have liked the ending to be a bit longer and in-depth, but it's still good either way.

Radish?

the DVD version isn't only released in the UK, but in whole europe I think.

my DVD box says "not for distribution in the UK", I don't know why??? :huh:

the DVD version has four 666.000KB (yes... 666 :devil: ) CAB files and a fifth 399.507KB CAB file, so it's probably the 5 CD version put together on a DVD. I would hate those 5 CDs, much more chances to get scratches on the cd's etc.

I got Half-Life 2 with my ATi 9600 Pro awhile back. Had the coupon eversince and was kind of anticipating Half Life 2. From what I saw, the game looked very interesting.

Since Half Life 2 is a sequal to Half Like (part 1), would it be better to play Half Life (part 1) before play Half Life 2? I'm just asking because I don't know if there is a storyline or something to follow.

If I'll understand what happens by starting off Half Life 2, then I won't play Half Life 2, but if playing Half Life 1 is good to understand the story and I'll, I guess I can do that too. :yes:

I would play HL1 before HL2, but thats just me. Both of them are masterpieces. Either that or go to GamFAQ's and read the script for HL1. If you play HL1, youll get the whole mysteriousness and immersion, yet its not nearly as good as HL2.. sorry... just finished HL2, I seem to ramble. What an ending though :whistle:

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
