[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.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • 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.
