[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

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.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
