[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

Anyone having problems after the latest update.

I cannot play any source games, I have tried HL : S, CS : S, HL2, HL2 : Deathmatch I just get the preparing to screen and then nothing.

The only game I can play is codename gordon and I don't fancy downloading HL to see if that works.

hl1 based games run hl2 based do not. im sure the bug will be fixed in the next 24 hours. :yes:

I sure hope they make an expansion (or two) of this as they did with Blue Shift and Opposing Force. It would be cool to once again see the story from Barney's eyes. It's awesome when you get a couple points of view on one story; you get more details a lot easier.

Also, I found out about this just earlier today:

Does anybody know the name and password? I'm probably way behind on the news :/ but I'm curious.

Barnacle in the box that pops up on the black page and hit enter on the keyboard.

one thing that's kinda odd about hl2 is the weapon accuracy and damage.  firstly, the pistols seem to be the most accurate weapons :/  and with the magnum, you can shoot a combine in the crotch and he'll go down.  but what about headshots?  with the standard pistol i noticed there isn't a "headshot" shot.  ya know?  mind you, it does seem to do more damage when you shoot them in the head.  just kinda strange i guess.

the magnum is a sniper rifle without the scope... i use the suit zoom to target, unzoom, manum round, drop a combine from across the map

Ok whats up with that page?

all i see is a white [___________] thingy and if i look at the source i see alyx in ascii

and there is a link in teh source to ... whatsmyname.jpg a picture of a roof barnacle?

oh wait i just got it!!

I'm stuck for the first time. It's on the part where the doctor guy is trying to escape through the portal thing. I get my way to the top where Alyx is on the other side of the glass, and she says "oh my god, the portal is opening" or something, and than he escapes and I fail the mission. How am I suppose to stop him? thanks.

WTF..!

Why did they waste their time with that ASCII picture in the HTML source of that page..?

When revealed, why does it show a picture of "you-know-who" with that "you-know-what" hurting "you-know-who"?

Totally clueless to that page (not to mention how someone got the username/password/text correct).

lol to clear up on that, djmuk...

I dont know how they got the password in the beginning but when you get in, check the source below Alyx's pic and it says:

/secret/secondtest/whatsmyname.jpg

so then go back and apply that to the end of the www.half-life2.com and you see a picture of a barnicle. The file name says "whatsmyname" so you go back to the black screen with the text box and put in 'barnicle'.

Tada.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
