[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

There were a lot of things that were deleted because they didn't work or weren't up to par.

I'm disappointed they took the OICW (the gun in that picture) out more than the monster. lol

It's so funny to see people using guns that big for some reason..looks like it would've been a nice addition to the game what happened to it?

go click it and see... ;)

but just a questiion, will I need to back up my files? If I wanted to play the original again?

I played for 10 minutes of the Substance modification and all I could tell is that the framerate dies and there are more people with random fights outside windows. Does it get better because if not, I am removing it lol

Hey, a while back someone posted the background image from the leaked Half-Life 2 beta (no, I'm not asking for the beta)... he also posted a few oher ones similar to it. The image I'm talking about has that green Steam-colored background and has the citiadel on it... anyone have it, or know where I can get it? Thanks :)

Hello all, I really want to play HL2, and CS:S, but I have a crappy machine, do you think it will be worth it playing on my current comp?

P4 1.6Ghz  (un OC'able thanks to intel mobo)

256 RAM

32 meg GeForce2 on Dx9

your processor is fine.. it's just you need some upgrades on Ram and Vidcard I don't think 32 MB will cut HL2

btw, does anyone know where the pics go? I took some pics and I can't seem to find them.. This may have been asked before but I forgot.. thanks

The reason I say so is that my comp technically meets min. requirements, but at the very minimum, I'm wondering, with no upgrading, if it will be worth it to play (No money)

download the demo if you want to test HL2, before you buy.

Ok I just bought my copy of HL2. But when I got it home I checked out the box and noticed that the anti tamper sticker at the bottom of the box has been cut! :( What should I do? I am now not sure if someone at the shop where I bought the game may have compromised the serial I have.

you should've checked.. or at least the people at the counters should've checked while they scanned it. Try to return it but do not trust to hope

I think I'll first try to register it with Steam - if it's been compromised though. I'm going to contact the local distributors and raise hell about this.

    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
    • I have been using Firefox for years.
    • I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
