OMG. USE A MAGNETIC CRANE to move the car.

Agreed, this has already been mentioned a dozen times.

Righty then, get out of the car, follow the bridge (or platforms) to the crane, get into the crane (up the ladder) and then use the crane to pick the buggy up and swing it over to the other platform (where the enemies are shooting at you).

Then you should be able to figure out the simple task ahead of you.

SPOILERS: :o

I think you both misunderstood the screenie. This is the part where I get into the buggy and the woman operating the crane drops the buggy infront of the antlions. I get out, shoot the antlions and flip the buggy. I am supposed to head for Nova prospekt now but I cant make the jump ahead. I need to backup on the bridge and race to the ramp but I keep getting stuck on the bridge. :/

Damn!

Spoilers:

I am at the "Follow Freeman" mission, at the roof with Barney, I already killed the snipers that pinned him down and now he keeps screaming follow me but he doesnt move, he just screams "come on" and "follow me"

anyone with this problem? any suggestions?

Damn!

I don't know. Maybe some object is preventing him from moving or something of what sort. I finished the game and can tell you that it's not suppose to happen.

spoiler!

Anyway for those who say ending sux, you could not be more wrong. It was a bit short. yes. And you would expect it to be more challenging. I guess people are disappointed with the way things were left off. Nothing definite was revealed. We still don't know who the combines are and most importantly who is G-man. We can only wonder and create theories about it. I guess this is the way we are being prepared for HL3. Don't worry it will become clear in about 6 years. :laugh: Until then ask [X]-bYtE. He seems to know more about the game than the rest of us. ;)

Damn!

this happened to me too, he's stuck on a ledge right? you have to move around a bit make him get off that big rock piece... then he'll go down the ramp out of the building.

well sucks to be you if you couldnt figure out who the combine are... I suggest replaying the game untill you figure it out (if you really want to know). :laugh: :yes:

I for one do not like this system for copy protection for Half life 2.

My reasons are...

  one. I cant play the game unless I have an internet connetion. I know there are some who say "most people who play the game do have one"  I say what about thoughs who dont?  Dont they have a right to play too? There sould be a way to activate the game off line. Maybe like with windows xp having a 1-800 number. What happens if valve goe's out of bussines? Yes this could happen! How will I activate my game on a new PC?

584979410[/snapback]

No, they don't have the rights. It's apart of the system requirments on the box. There's no excuse. By the time Valve goes out of buisness HL3 will be out, and that's even if it happens. If Valve goes out of buisness, there will be a patch type thing released.

  Two. What information is the game sending to steam? How do I know that they wll not use this system to start collecting Information about what games I play, when I play, or start collecting other information we only learn about latter. So they can sell it to other company's, and if you belive that they wont cause of there privacy statement. I say you have to take there word for that. Since there are no laws to keep them from changing there minds latter and doing it anyway!

584979410[/snapback]

Read Valve's privacy agreement.

I for one do not like this system for copy protection for Half life 2.

Finaly. Im my opinion My fair use rights should come first. Copy protection Second.

I know there a some who would say what about the rights of the content owner. Well

they do have some but the content owners are the few and they content buyers are the many and last time I hard. The good of the many out way the few.

Just my humble opinion.

584979410[/snapback]

You own the copy you bought. You can install steam on however many computers you like and login to the account and play. You just can't be logged in two places at the same time. You may simply not illegaly distribute it.

ok i know theres enough HL2 thread already but it wont hurt to have one more :p i just played some HL2 at my bud's house and yeah its cool but i just dont find it sooooooo great for me its just another FPS. now i have a headache from playing it grrr..... WTF

Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
