[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm already stuck and soooo frustrated (I hate that).

I'm afraid to ask because it might be considered 'spoilers', let's just say (Route Kanal, Hole, Barrels-Barrels...Configuration???) really good game (good music), but when I'm stuck at the same section for a long time I'm not happy.

I think they made a statement saying the multiplayer side will be just CS: Source, cant remember. Will try and find it when i get home

I think you may be right about the CS: Source statement. However, what are they going to do about the netcode and HAX?

Is there a reason, they don't use Punkbuster to eliminate most of the cheating, hacking, etc?

I know nothing is foolproof, but PB would be a start at least. That's the reason I never got interested in CS in the first place, too much cheating that just ruins the game.

Ah barrels! I got stuck there for like.. 45min. Go follow the pipe into the other room. Look down near the water, turn valve. Go back out, down ladder, across, break boards (whisper whisper).. :shifty:.. PM me if you want.

Admittedly a newbie question as I noticed HL2 was ready to go this morning, fired it up for about 2 minutes, then had to head in to work.....

I noticed that there is no multiplayer "button" just new game.

Am I to believe that CS:Source is basically the multiplayer HL2?  Are we not going to get multiplayer Gordon???!!!!

If CS: Source is the answer, am I the only one who thinks the graphics of CS: Source are great, but the netcode blows major chunks???

I thought Valve was going to stop all the cheating with HL2 multiplayer.  CS:Source is already full of wallhack, aimbot, etc.....

Also, if there is supposed to be HL2 multiplayer besides CS:Source does it use the same crappy netcode?

After two weeks of CS:Source, I am already very tired of the crappy multiplayer experience.  Again, the graphics are great, but the lag, shooting through walls, HAX, etc. just sucks.  Call of Duty, UT2K4, etc. the list goes on....there are so many games with much better multiplay code.  I had high hopes for HL2 multiplayer.  Please tell me I'm missing something here.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Cs:Source isnt using the new anti-cheat system right?

this might be a stupid idea, but you could copy the entire dvd to the hard drive, and install it

when it gives you the error, rename hl24.cab to hl24.cab1, rename hl25.cab to hl24.cab, click retry.

theoretically, it should copy this file now, but complain about other files that were originally in hl24.cab. then rename the files back, and proceed. hopefully, this is the only file which will be problematic.

alternatively, contact valve tech support, or ask the store to replace the dvd media, as it may be scratched, or otherwise damaged

hope this helps

Half-Life: Source is listed in the Just released section on steam, so i'm guessing that's the multiplayer.

Thank you, I'll do that in a minute after sorting something out. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who got stuck on that section ;)
