[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

i havent had that happen to me when it says "loading" but i have had that happen to me midgame when it's trying to load some new sound or texture... it'll stutter then just sit there and the audio sounds like a broken record... i fix it by hitting the windows key to return me to the desktop and then going back into the game..annoying but at least it's not crashing... try that w/ your loading problem.

it wont even let me do that.. it locks up and i get very little response.. and thats just an hourglass. =/

Smells like warez. The button should remove the red lasers, opens the doors and turns green when pressed.

You have a thing about HL2 warez don't you? :o No, my copy is a legal, bought, registered real deal, and I take that comment as an insult. :angry: I do not pirate games, I buy them, simple as that. :yes:

If you trip the lazers then the button is disabled, I guess they expect you to die, but I was in God mode to find a way to destroy the lazers. I thought it was a little hard and not easy when being fired upon... :p

yea, them guns are pretty powerfull, i had full armor and health when i went into the room, and i tripped the lazer, and before i could make it to the button they had killed me. so im pretty sure if you DO trip the lazers the only way to make it to the button is in god mode (which the designers wherent counting on) thats why it doesnt work once the lazers have been tripped.

Well, I can tell you it is possible without God mode, but it takes about 40 mins. You nearly run out of ammo and it takes a lot of luck... Pure luck maybe...

Or just wait for Half-Life Source so you don't have to play the game with ol'crappy graphics :)

Isn't Half Life:Source out? It says just released on my steam list, so as long as he upgrades to silver for $10, he will get HL:S now, and DoD:S when it comes out.

HLS is exactly like the original only with the improved water of HL2 and the implemented physics engine. Valve decided not to change any of the content because they thought it might ruin the nostalga.

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!

a classic example of us geography

england - english ????

just finished HL2 after 4 days playing about 6 hours a day on medium and man what a game !!!! HL2 really has set the standard and i wanna say to VALVE and everyone involved in the game thank you ! you really have made a great game here and its sad to see that so many people have decided to pirate the game .Its worth every penny and i truly am amazed.

Best moments for me was using the blue grav gun in the citadel tossing the combines around :D and the striders outside the bank ! man i tell you pummeling striders with the rocket launcher is so satisfying :)

lets just hope HL3 doesnt take another 5 years !!!

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
