[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

Anyone having problems after the latest update.

I cannot play any source games, I have tried HL : S, CS : S, HL2, HL2 : Deathmatch I just get the preparing to screen and then nothing.

The only game I can play is codename gordon and I don't fancy downloading HL to see if that works.

hl1 based games run hl2 based do not. im sure the bug will be fixed in the next 24 hours. :yes:

I sure hope they make an expansion (or two) of this as they did with Blue Shift and Opposing Force. It would be cool to once again see the story from Barney's eyes. It's awesome when you get a couple points of view on one story; you get more details a lot easier.

Also, I found out about this just earlier today:

Does anybody know the name and password? I'm probably way behind on the news :/ but I'm curious.

Barnacle in the box that pops up on the black page and hit enter on the keyboard.

one thing that's kinda odd about hl2 is the weapon accuracy and damage.  firstly, the pistols seem to be the most accurate weapons :/  and with the magnum, you can shoot a combine in the crotch and he'll go down.  but what about headshots?  with the standard pistol i noticed there isn't a "headshot" shot.  ya know?  mind you, it does seem to do more damage when you shoot them in the head.  just kinda strange i guess.

the magnum is a sniper rifle without the scope... i use the suit zoom to target, unzoom, manum round, drop a combine from across the map

Ok whats up with that page?

all i see is a white [___________] thingy and if i look at the source i see alyx in ascii

and there is a link in teh source to ... whatsmyname.jpg a picture of a roof barnacle?

oh wait i just got it!!

I'm stuck for the first time. It's on the part where the doctor guy is trying to escape through the portal thing. I get my way to the top where Alyx is on the other side of the glass, and she says "oh my god, the portal is opening" or something, and than he escapes and I fail the mission. How am I suppose to stop him? thanks.

WTF..!

Why did they waste their time with that ASCII picture in the HTML source of that page..?

When revealed, why does it show a picture of "you-know-who" with that "you-know-what" hurting "you-know-who"?

Totally clueless to that page (not to mention how someone got the username/password/text correct).

lol to clear up on that, djmuk...

I dont know how they got the password in the beginning but when you get in, check the source below Alyx's pic and it says:

/secret/secondtest/whatsmyname.jpg

so then go back and apply that to the end of the www.half-life2.com and you see a picture of a barnicle. The file name says "whatsmyname" so you go back to the black screen with the text box and put in 'barnicle'.

Tada.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
