WHAT A CRAP ENDING

584939552[/snapback]

yeah i was kinda let down that you didnt learn anything from playing the game. :no: but this is supposed to be the middle chapter, still you would like it to explain something then leave something still for the next game but no they dont tell you anything more than you already knew/concluded from looking at the videos, screenshots, etc. :no:

Whats the point in having such an unsatisfactory ending? ffs they havent even confirmed there will be a half life 3, and even if there is, I didnt want to play through the game to be told at the end, oh, wait another 6 years and we might make it worth your while. It was a fun game but talk about anti climax. And where's the multiplayer? CS:source - a free mod made better looking, with less maps and no new features whatsoever, yea thats great, thanks valve. 6 years and you cant even put in a basic multiplayer with DM/TDM, yet you can charge me ?35 for a single player campaign thats not challenging even on hard setting.

Gamespot slated it in the review, but gave it a 9.2... It confused the hell out of me..

When I say slated, I mean they are saying the story is really bad etc. or something alike - you can read it if you go there, just click review on the half life 2 section. Anyway, I?m on the level past the Jet Ski thingy, and I prefer this walking around thing more to the vehicle on water... the gravity gun is awesome.

Anyone know if you get any other vehicles?.. I was hoping for an on road buggy sorta thing.

stuck :cry: PLZ HELP

ive just got past some flying type drone thingys after i fell through an air duct into this room . In te room are all these explosive barrels . After u fall into the room these drone thingys come at you through the air duct and also up underneath you . Anyway what do i do next ? ive tried going down the ladder , piling up some barrels and going through a tunnel into the next area and that didnt work ive also tried looking for some switch to flood the room so i cn swim up through the tunnel and up to somewhere i can get out and that doesnt work too . Wtf do i do next ? sorry if its not mcuh to go on but its late and im tired :sleep:

* SPOLIER ANSWER *

I think that's where I got stuck yesterday and someone here helped me out, stacking barrels to get into that red-lit shoot won't work.

Answer is easy, go into the other rooms (jumping on the pipes), jump down to the water and look about half-way up the pipes for a red valve that will let the water rise.

I'm also stuck, I think it's Ravenhouse level (forgot the name). Anyways here's what happens:

* SPOILERS *

After the hovercraft part into this new area.

Dark, and nice lighting

As you approach there is a man at the top shooting the enemies for you.

Turn off all the gas mains to get through the fires (by turning them all off).

Jump on the car to get across all the ledges.

...

Man throws me a shotgun :), and says "meet you in the church (or something to that affect)".

Killed all the monsters.

Jumped to rooftop, across planks, turned the lever to give me another plank.

Jumped from one metal floored balcony to the other, where it collapses, killed all monsters in the room...and now I'm stuck - there's nowhere else to go :(

Allot of people are saying the game is easy to complete, I?m guessing these people are big fans of hl1, because I don?t have that much time to play it... And I?m still on the 3rd level... Allot of the time, I play around with the physics in the levels... I find it a bit pointless for someone to just forget all of that and literally do it all at once, I mean... Check out the gravity gun especially, i find it interesting to test other objects etc, anyway... I?m still loving the game, and No one has thought about mods yet! I remember countless mods on the pc mags I used to buy... This will add so much more life the game... Like what multi theft auto done to vice city. I?m sure there will be plenty of them!

use the turbo, it will make it coz thats where you have to go so all i can suggest is press shift to use the turbo ?

I didn't know there was a turbo, there is no mention of it in the controls section of Settings. I'll try it now :D

Ok question guys. My gf came home from work today and said that one of the guys she works with said he got the HL2 CE version but when he went to install it he had to D/L the entire 4+gig of HL2 in order to play. Is this true? I was under the impression that the DVD would have the full game and the extra's as well. wtf?

SPOILER?

Screenshot what area you mean. There are two doors that need to be opened from what I remember. One by a button in a watch tower, and one by exploding some barrels which makes a girder fall and crash into the doors.

I don't know if this is the right spot, but if it is, you need to put the batteries into the device that's inside the house. They should be littered about.

The dvd contains the preloads, you don't have to download them.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
