[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

Well consider myself floored by the beauty of this game.

I just finished the canal sections and got to meet up with Eli and Alyx again.. and play fetch with Dog. I dunno if it was just that I had cranked my card up to 1280x1024 with 4x AA (and it COPED, WELL) and the environment just looked so goddamn spectacular, but I just stood there in awe whilst I threw the ball around that cavern. Echo'ing sound effects, Alyx laughing when Dog fetched the ball.. amazing.

Spectacular. Game of the year, hands down. HL2 is a masterpiece.

Uploaded some hopefully non-spoilery pictures to this folder :

Gives you an idea of how stunning the game is...

i posted the solution to this farther up the thread

I know it's early, but I'm already stuck in half life 2.  I'm in the Route Kanal, in the place where it looks like you need to go through a tunnel with red lights.  The problem is I cant figure out how to reach the tunnel (it is too high).

I've attached a screenshot as well.

What were you expecting? That no one would be trying to activate the game just like you?!? Just think of the demand that would be on these servers and learn to grow up

I have the dvd right here in my hands but i cant even unlock the preloads.

no, i think that valve WASN'T expecting this demand. if the servers weren't ready to handle the amounts of demands, why was it released? or why this stupid activation thingy??? it has already been cracked. i just want to login to steam to activate or whatever... not to download the full game. I have the dvd. this can be the best game ever, but the released date will never be forgotten, not only for the good reasons :no:.

I DON'T NEED TO GROW UP... it's the frustration :crazy:.
