ForeverUnknown Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 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. 584939975[/snapback] thank you that did it. i shot another barrel by the area eariler but i didnt see the other barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidic-e- Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 The dvd contains the preloads, you don't have to download them. 584939984[/snapback] See that is what I thought. Yet he had to keep his computer on all day to d/l the game? Seams to me he dosen't know what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercutio Vanse Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 My girlfriend bought me the game, but she lives in Southern California. If she reads to me the CD key, can I register HL2 through steam and download the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercutio Vanse Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 You can indeed. 584940188[/snapback] Oh, so when people bought the game over Steam, they were roughly just given a CD Key to register with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpu killer Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Oh, so when people bought the game over Steam, they were roughly just given a CD Key to register with? 584940203[/snapback] No, the people who bought thru steam had the games added to their account as one of the games they own, so they can access, download, and run it whenever they need to.

G4M3R Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 darn, I guess I should buy HL2. Looks pretty nice. 584938226[/snapback] I think you should. The first game I have that surpasses Halflife in terms of story and atmosphere (and the graphics aren't bad either :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kupo-Cheer Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 HL2 is better than Halo2 for graphic. 584938050[/snapback] Duh... its a PC game. Any PC game can look better than a 3 year old console. Of course Half-Life 2 looks better than Halo 2 with all the graphical settings on low too... lol. Its the gameplay that matters and Half-Life 2 is just so much fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me forever to find the lever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me forever to find the lever... 584940615[/snapback] Yeah, that's the place, I found the lever - pushed it, then jumped up to the rooftops again, noticed a new plank on cable, carried across over the buildings...then reached a metal balcony thingy. Jumped onto the next metal balcony (it then collapses). Went through that building and ended up back in the yard (body hanging)...and can't figure out a way out :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished that area, I was stuck there too, came back after an hour of tv, and i figured it out. What you have to do is once you get into the house (after the stairs collapse), you go down the stairs, it loads a new map, there will be two paths, one to the left, and a ladder directly in front of you, take the ladder, kill some guys in the room, and there will be a door on the wall to the right, go through it and continue.

Kupo-Cheer Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yeah, thats it. Its just been awhile since I went through there and its a really confusing part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjmUK Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Thank you, it worked - all because I tried putting WinXP into Hibernation whilst playing HL2 (you see it works with UT2004). What happened is that it disabled my "Use" key, but now I've restarted HL2 it all works again. Thanks man - 3am in the morning and I'm gonna' play some more...in the dark :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 hmpf, not finished the game yet, But nearly there... Pretty darn annoyed if its just a "middle" part of it, I'm not waiting 6 years to finish it off :/ To be honest, I don't think theres really been much of a story at all. Nothings been explained so far, who the combine are, other than that we had a 7 hour war with them, why some of the xen aliens are helping the humans etc. Also I was under the impression that city 17 would be a bigger part of the game, It was basically all that was talked about in the months before HL2 was released. Yet again its not really explained how or why your there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjmUK Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 * SPOILERS (Stuck Again) * Now I'm at the stage where the crane made my new buggy go upside down :( all I can hear is "Get that car upright, and get the hell out of here"...I would if I could. Can't figure out where the controls are for that crane (so I can turn the car upside down by myself)...quite annoying really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
