Dr Breen sounds like Bush, specially when Gordon is in Citadel

He sounds like Donald Sutherland to me.

that was way back in the e3 demos and movies and leak, that is no longer the case. Objects only now, unless there is a mat_ option like with the cs:s body clipping...

i saw him walking inbetween trains, before the start of the highway 17 level (in the train station,outside). if you squat to look what's behind some trains in an area where you can't get to, he just pops out and walks, then he's gone. I used fraps & the noclip cheat to capture the movie, but i'm at work right now.

hm, eh? not my fault. she just spawned on her own at a load scene.

and no she doesn't act or talk, she just followed me until the gates closed on her.

My HalfLife 2 works fairly well on my mid-range machine (AMD 1800+, 512 2100 ddr, Radeon 8500le) but I was wondering if there were any tweaks that would make it run better. I remember when Doom 3 came out, there were tweaks to the .ini file that made the game run smoother. Is ther any such thing for HL2?

Meh. I was just thinking of the comedic value of two Alyxs interacting with each other :rofl:

Someone's been playing with the SDK.

I heard the G-MAN is the GEICO-MAN, and he's following Gordon around to sell him car insurance for 15% less than he's paying now

I'm thinking it's Gordon's dad. Remember, Freeman doesn't talk. The G-Man does.

How can people be that stupid?

It's one getting a key for a game that you never have to go online with. For example, something like single player MoH:AA.

But for halflife 2, that's just retarded. Of course you're going to get caught if it needs to authenticate. Buuughh!

gordon freeman dont talk, becouse their want to give the sensation that everybody who is playing the game, is in fact gordon freeman, its also the reason to he dont appear in the game...

that's what i heard :p

i also believe that gman is the top personality of the game, i just wish he appear more often in the game, and talk to us, given more clues for who he was eheh

Half Life 3 pleaaassseeeee

[Kupo-Cheer]

Please... for the last time g-man = government man. Read the Half-Life manual if you want to know who he is. Although theres obviously SOMETHING more to him, that doesnt mean g-man means gordon-FREE-man... they don't look anything alike really.

Well anyway, I was looking through the steam forums and I found this (trying to refrain from making yet another new topic on HL2, but I'm not sure if this deserves one). These are all things quotes by the vortigaunts (the things that shoot green electricity) that could be hints to stuff in HL3, or just fill in some plot holes, and I'm working on reading through them to find any hidden meanings of some. I'll only put some of the ones I think are important here:

"We live to serve."

"There is no distance between us. No false veil of time or space may intervene."

"We see you still in Black Mesa. Clearly we see you in Nihilanth's chamber."

"We bare witness to the bright eternity of the Nihilanth's demise. You leap, you fall, we see you flash beyond the barriers."

"For a brief time you joined with us. You are one. Between the worlds."

"We cannot forget those whose cords you cut. Forgiveness is not ours to bestow."

"Unity of purpose, the shattering of common shackles, a single road we tread."

"While our own lay scattered at your feet, you severed the vortal cord that bound the Nihilanth to life, and to us."

"The sharp spur of hope has not dulled to this day. For once the lesser master lay defeated, we knew the greater must also fall in time."

"Your bright face obscures your darker mask."

"Something secret steers us both. We shall not name it."

"We are a tapestry woven of vortessence. It is the same for you if only you would see it."

"How many are there in you? Whose hopes and dreams do you encompass?"

"Could you but see the eyes inside your own, the minds in your mind, you would see how much we share."

"We are you, Freeman, and you are us."

"Our finest poet describes it thus: Gallum galla gilla ma."

"We have survived worse across the ages."

Well, you can read the post here for all the quotes and comments on it.

add -heapsize 256000 to your launch options. If you have a gig of ram add 512000, you want the number to be half your ram. Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers. I heard that you can add -cl_smooth 0 to you launch options to.

[Jason S. Global Moderator]

what do each of those tweaks do exactly? i assume the heapsize has something to do w/ memory allocation
