[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 !!!

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode. This Vengeance variant has RGB so if you love bright setups with such lighting, this is a win-win for you. The technical specifications of the Corsair Vengeance memory kit are given in the table below: Specification Value Memory Type DDR5 Memory Size (Total) 32GB Kit Configuration 2 × 16GB Form Factor UDIMM (Desktop) Pin Count 288-pin Speed (Data Rate) 6000 MT/s Speed Rating PC5-48000 Tested CAS Latency 38-44-44-96 Voltage (Tested) 1.35V Performance Profile AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Heat Spreader Aluminum heatspreader Cooling Type Passive (Heatsink) Lighting Ten Zone RGB Software Support Corsair iCUE Get it at the link below: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 CL38 – Gray (CMH32GX5M1E6000Z38): $339.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US, Fulfilled by Amazon US) This Woot deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
