[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

Come here to Europe... no CD versions (to my knowledge)

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:

but im not in the uK !!!! im in the USA... and want the DVD ... would it still be in english? hmm anyone know if they will ship the the States?

Damn valve!!!! why give 1 country all the good stuff this is kinda making me want to just get it off Steam but... bah i want a DVD of it!

i got a problem every other time i load a game after i saved it, or when i got to laod the game it says after the level loads  that A.I. DISABLED, how do i reenable it

    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
