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.

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.

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 !!!

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
