[tatsukaze00]

I for one do not like this system for copy protection for Half life 2.

My reasons are...

  one. I cant play the game unless I have an internet connetion. I know there are some who say "most people who play the game do have one"  I say what about thoughs who dont?  Dont they have a right to play too? There sould be a way to activate the game off line. Maybe like with windows xp having a 1-800 number. What happens if valve goe's out of bussines? Yes this could happen! How will I activate my game on a new PC?

Half-Life 2 System Requirements

Minimum:

? 1.2 GHz Processor

? 256MB RAM

? DirectX 7 graphics card

? Windows 2000/XP/ME/98

? Mouse

? KeyboInternet connectionion

Read the box before you buy a game.

  Three. what happend to fair use? When I buy a game for Xbox. gamecube, playstation2, it's mine and can walk down the block put in my freinds machine and play. I cant do this with half life 2. I know some you will say why dont they come to my house and play. Well what if there PC is better and I want to see how it plays and looks on a better machine. The truth is there a million reasons to want to be able to do this. All completely legal. Ware are my fair use rights? I dont really feel like own this game.  I feel more like paid to borrow it!

You can log in on Steam on your friend's computer and play the game.

I find it hilarious how people are up in arms over an extra 2 minutes you have to put in before you can play the game. C'mon people, it's not that hard.

SPOILERS: :o

I think you both misunderstood the screenie. This is the part where I get into the buggy and the woman operating the crane drops the buggy infront of the antlions. I get out, shoot the antlions and flip the buggy. I am supposed to head for Nova prospekt now but I cant make the jump ahead. I need to backup on the bridge and race to the ramp but I keep getting stuck on the bridge. :/

* SPOILER ANSWER *

I thought you were further than that. Righty then, use your Gravity Gun and shoot it off that ledge, go for a ride around and you'll find a road (turbo speed in advance to fly over the problem) :)

I think because of the 3D skybox they don't need to create an edge of the level. I've had them glitches on other levels.

[elliot]

lol good one! here someone edit my screenshot:

I took the exact same shot. :whistle:

[Cyrilix]

You're in the right place though. Just keep going, and when you see a building, park your boat and walk in.

[G4M3R]

:D

Funny

[[ timko ]]

I took the exact same shot.  :whistle:

So the saying "Perverted minds think alike" is true then? :D (Y)

[finality]

:rofl: :woot:

I'm glad you have your opinion, but your opinion is obviously incorrect. You played for a few minutes? ... How can you form an opinion of it that fast?

[Cyrilix]

I'd like to actually have a real sniper rifle instead of one of those crappy crossbows that shoot slowly and have a tendency to hit a bit lower than what the crosshair displays...

[Cyrilix]

Please don't encourage piracy like that.

584981465[/snapback]

That's called helping solve a problem, not encouraging piracy, whether it be a pirated game or not. Just because someone doesn't help him doesn't mean that he won't get the answers elsewhere. And by the way, if you really want some good info on half life 2, there is a good thread on the www.nforce.nl forums in PC Arena section.

Sometimes you have to stand in a specific area for the AI to realize that you are there. So try moving around closer to where father gregory is and he should start talking to you.

[Xtreme $niper]

good for you. go back to your halo 2, fanboy.

[Mordred]

Only thing I didnt like about HL2 was not being able to shoot friendly npcs..

[OrangeChicken]

Hey does anyone know the code to turn back on the AI in the game if it gets shut off for some reason?

Hell yeah man, I second that.

[sfay]

I am going to replay it now that the stutter patch is out ... sheesh that will make the game better. Anyhow why the hell couldn't they have given us the blue gun in the first place ... it is sooo nice. Well I can actually answer my own question ... you could walk right through the game so friggen powerfull. BTW was anyone else pretty freaked out when they were in ravenholm (sp?)? I know I was ... so dark and creepy, especially when your out of ammo and on health alone :(

[yert*]

I was playing the game at my friend's house and she went up that ladder and was like "here, have a look" or something and it was right when I walked under here. It was hilarious

Yeah, um. You buy the game.

[Dr.Jones]

Yeah, that part was a total bitch for me to do.  :pinch:

584981884[/snapback]

I did that part entirely with the shotgun :yes:

and no turrets :yes: :yes: :woot:

[Kev1n]

I read that it has tonnes of bugs, so wanted to know exactly hopw many here encounter em..

[Rob2687]

just one, where it thought i destroyed the cart thing.

[sin-ergy]

haven't seen any at all o_O

[Senseotech]

I've seen many others with the exact same specs and issue as I have, where every Source Engine game blue screens my PC after a few minutes of playing.
