[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

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?

Half-Life 2 System Requirements

Minimum:

? 1.2 GHz Processor

? 256MB RAM

? DirectX 7 graphics card

? Windows 2000/XP/ME/98

? Mouse

? KeyboInternet connectionion

Read the box before you buy a game.

  Three. what happend to fair use? When I buy a game for Xbox. gamecube, playstation2, it's mine and can walk down the block put in my freinds machine and play. I cant do this with half life 2. I know some you will say why dont they come to my house and play. Well what if there PC is better and I want to see how it plays and looks on a better machine. The truth is there a million reasons to want to be able to do this. All completely legal. Ware are my fair use rights? I dont really feel like own this game.  I feel more like paid to borrow it!

You can log in on Steam on your friend's computer and play the game.

I find it hilarious how people are up in arms over an extra 2 minutes you have to put in before you can play the game. C'mon people, it's not that hard.

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. :/

* SPOILER ANSWER *

I thought you were further than that. Righty then, use your Gravity Gun and shoot it off that ledge, go for a ride around and you'll find a road (turbo speed in advance to fly over the problem) :)

Please don't encourage piracy like that.

That's called helping solve a problem, not encouraging piracy, whether it be a pirated game or not. Just because someone doesn't help him doesn't mean that he won't get the answers elsewhere. And by the way, if you really want some good info on half life 2, there is a good thread on the www.nforce.nl forums in PC Arena section.

I am going to replay it now that the stutter patch is out ... sheesh that will make the game better. Anyhow why the hell couldn't they have given us the blue gun in the first place ... it is sooo nice. Well I can actually answer my own question ... you could walk right through the game so friggen powerfull. BTW was anyone else pretty freaked out when they were in ravenholm (sp?)? I know I was ... so dark and creepy, especially when your out of ammo and on health alone :(

    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
