[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

I actually love playing with squad. That's why I liked Opposing force so much. The bad thing is that I can't order them around. I just wish I could order them to wait while I kill turrets or something. It ****es me off when they run to their death and I can't do anything about it.

You can order them around, just in a very limited way. If you point to a direction and press C (I believe that's the default) then your squad will go to that spot and wait until you move on.

I thought HL2 was incredible, best FPS ever and possibly the best game ever. However, I can't help but feel it could have been better. In contrast to HL1, it was lacking in a few areas. Valve removed quite of a few things like the OICW, the sniper rifle, the boat level, the hydra and many of the other aliens from the original. If I wasn't fighting the combine then it was headcrabs or zombies and not much else. It was also a little short and like some of you have said a little easy, especially the Citadel level which should have been the hardest, though I did enjoy hurdling combine into the abyss.

its some lame font though. i gues he ment the one used in logo etc.

................................ . with all due respect... ahve you checked before posting.... all of the HL logos are in those fonts... the lambda sign... the HL2 logo, the valve logo, etc etc etc

the only logo missing is the steam logo.... but if anyone wants a copy... I have an .eps (vector) version of it

anyone know if a mod is out with all the forgotten weapons from E3 and the leaked version?

JBMod

He's working on getting all the beta weapons back in. So far, there's an improved physgun, and the stickygun has just been implemented again.

Time, Dr Freeman? Is it really that time again? It seems as if you've only just arrived...

You've done a great deal in such a small time span. You've done so well in fact that i've received some interesting offers for your services...

Ordinarily, I wouldn't contemplate them, but these are extraordinary times... mmmm?

Rather than offer you the illusion of free choice, I will take the liberty of choooosing for you, if and when your time comes round again.

I do apologise for what seems to you an arbitary imposition, Dr Freeman.

I trust it will all make sense to you in the course of.....well, i'm really not at liberty to say...

In the meantime, this is where I get off.

    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
