hm, eh?  not my fault.  she just spawned on her own at a load scene.

and no she doesn't act or talk, she just followed me until the gates closed on her.

if you go back to levels and get the blue grav gun, you can pull npc's and make tons of corpses, i had a pile of the guy in ravenholm just laying on the ground, cause i was bored while he was talking

[mick0142]

Please... for the last time g-man = government man. Read the Half-Life manual if you want to know who he is. Although theres obviously SOMETHING  more to him, that doesnt mean g-man means gordon-FREE-man... they don't look anything alike really.

but it could explain why gordon doesn't talk, cause then we would hear him talk just like gman :p

Anyone know how to push the game further? Like increase the texture quality?

I've got a Radeon 9500 Pro , and everythings on full. But there are times where I think it could do with more bump mapping, or better textures.

Any console commands to max it out? Even if it does end up running slower.

I heard the G-MAN is the GEICO-MAN, and he's following Gordon around to sell him car insurance for 15% less than he's paying now

i agree... sometimes the game doesnt look that impressive and other times it's amazing... it's weird... i cant complain though.

but i dont think it's possible.

can anyone confirm what those first 2 tweaks do?

Wrong again, we don't hear Gordon talk for the same reason why we don't see him in any cut-scenes, or his reflection in water or anything else. It's because Valve believes that it is wrong to show the main character in the game itself. That is why we don't see his hands when he's driving, it would show too much of his arms when he's making a turn. The hands on weapons is just a concession, becouse it would look way to dumb having a gun floating in front of you.

i was just trying to provoke the consipicy theorist in the fanboys :)

I was looking for some MODS and maps for HL2 and was astonished at the amount of sites and people already making maps and MODS for HL2... and found a rather funny picture...

:D :D

I found it very funny to be honest although some people might find this offensive then I apologise for any inconvenience caused...

Maybe it's my warped sense of humour... :huh:

[Xtreme $niper]

rofl that reminds me of what people did with the leaked source code... :s that was just... not appropriate lol.

[darkblackcrow]

:blink: Anyone know what I mean if I say I am stuck in a room in the "Follow Freeman" round of HL2? I am in a room with those auto-machineguns on the walls that start firing when I break the beams. I have blown up all 6 guns and tried to press the red button... Nothing. The doors are sealed and there appears to be no-where to go... I am confused... :blink:

[blackmartinix]

:laugh: :laugh: funny but some will find offensive. but still funny

[insanekiwi]

haha :rofl: nice pic.

Can you post a screenshot? I can't visualize where you are.

[beardly]

Nice find. I still working on finishing the game, let alone having Freeman grab her boobs.

They didn't show a shadow or hands on the steering wheel etc. because the programmers were being lazy.

[Adrenaline2k5]

Lmfao! People these days...

[Hypoxiaicon]

[oddcrap]

[mick0142]
