[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 !!!

    • 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.
    • 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.
