Wow ,looks like the game got a 9.7/10 from ign.com . Guess the game lived up to the hype ,i'll try playing the game later this week.

Link to review - http://pc.ign.com/articles/566/566202p1.html

BTW does anyone know the systemn requirements for this game ?

[Vamp]

[Peerzy]

I read at Gamespot that Half-Life 2 has no multiplayer, thats why it is shipped with Counter-Strike: Source.


And also here, an interview.


http://halflife2.filefront.com/news/Doug_Lombardi_interview_at_GameSpy;13222




Also still no multiplayer:

Quote: Q. Are there any plans for a standalone Half-Life 2 multiplayer part, deathmatch, co-op, somewhere down the line?

Doug Lombardi: Nope.

[mike45450]

u sure??

i thought it was 700mhz , 128 ram and 32mb card :(

Damn, u gotta be kidding. It'd probably barely play with a system like that :lol:

Luckily i meet all recommended requirements apart from processor (i have 2GHz)

[{I}{K}{E}]

Half.Life.2.OFFLINE.ACTIVATION.PATCH-oWNAGE -> seems 2 be a fake :P

[dboucher]

well at least we have you ike telling us which ones are no good...i would be spewing if i d/l a 4gb+ file that was fake... lets hope someone can get a cracked, fully working release out there soon...

[cpt_azad]

any word on a full version out there, preferably one that's cracked and not nuked :(

[Smith]

Damn, u gotta be kidding. It'd probably barely play with a system like that :lol:

u think i can play it on lowest of lowest settings?

i mean all set on very lowest

[cpt_azad]

hmmmm, interesting, should i download it?:

[cpt_azad]

don't download it canuk, it's not working (not sure, but it might if you have an account with TB, just a hunch).

[cpt_azad]

http://www.filelist.org , interesting.....

[{I}{K}{E}]

just wait for a proper release...

sorry.

[Spicker]

some ppl say it works some ppl say it doesnt work..

i think it works but people just forget to add -steam at the end of the short cut...

[numba1xclusive]

DUde, if u can play HAlf Life 1, and that lags for you, then definately no, ur computer wont work good. The one reccomendation I can say for people is, if you can play Doom 3 at Medium and 800x600, and it doesnt lag, HL2 will work fine. Otherwise, if Doom3 works on low, try turning the graphics down on HL. Source engine is quite light on the computer.

[cpt_azad]

yes, unlike the doom3 engine, the source engine is hella optimized and is easy on the comp. hell i remember i could run HL2 beta (back in da day) with my 1.2 ghz, 384mb ram, and geforce mx 100/200 32 mb card at 800x600 medium settings and i got in the 22fps range. can't wait for the proper release.

[daniboy]

any1 know if the suprnova 1.25 gb is the full version? i found another torrent thats 3.93 gb but i dont feel like d/l so much

[Supernatural]

1.25 GB sounds like a beta to me.

[daniboy]

and the 3.93 gb emporio one doesnt work right?

[MagusDraco]

Holy crap. This game was totally worth 50 dollars. -pries himself away from HL2 to get some sleep-

[cpt_azad]

god damnit, no links as of yet :( looks like i'm buying it tom., and i just spent money on halo2 :( :( what happened to the good old days of downloading

[MagusDraco]

I may not be Tom, but with Steam's evil...yer gonna be downloading something anyway. Just not in the good way.

[daniboy]

Any1 know if this works or is it really nuked. i just started d/l it. ive never d/led something so big - 3.92 gb - so it better work.

[Peerzy]

I doubt anything is going to happen for a week or two...
Either a release within 2-3 days or there will be no release. Already the head cracked of EMPORiO who released Half Life 2 is in jail over the game, it depends on if groups re going to risk it.

Pm me a torrent link, or my aim is orcutt989. Also HardcoreGamer hooked me up with a way to unlock it from steam. PM me if you want to know how.

Emporio really got busted ?!? . A very sad thing for Gamers , now no more CSS :(

I spose you dont know who MaddoxX is? He was the founder of EMPORiO, the mian cracker in he group and was resposible for half Life 2. The group has decided to stop cracking and releasing games.

[121]

WTF do people put HL2 on Suprnova if it doesn't work?

[SingaBoiy]

Half.Life.2.RETAiL.CLONECD-INYOFACE

On TB right now.


Here it is, the Clone of the RETAIL Half Life 2 CD's
Extract the files and burn / mount with clonecd or daemon tools
Game has protection to prevent it from running with a mounted image
CD2 will extract files called CD1, but it is actually CD2
hate the game not the player!

oh yeah fuck you pd u smelly ass midget cock lovin snaggle tooth
lazy eye havin ass motherfucking gay nigger..

[Esal]

This is a Half Life 2 thread not a 'how to download stuff' thread, I know all these releases can be confusing etc... but currently there is no completely working copy out. only versions that need patches etc... just wait for a proper release.

If you can't wait just buy it ;)

[newcombe6]

hate to sound like an arse - but why not just buy it mate? in the uk you can get it for £24.99 at tesco's, game online etc - im sure the same applies in usa

and you dont get all the steam login, crack hassle etc

just a thought.....

[orcutt989]

ATTENTION!!




Quoting HL2files.net:
Hey HL2 Gamers!

Recently, one of the HL2Files.com members here, alerted me of a pirated warez version of Half-Life 2, apparently released via the Bittorent network. I immediately, forwarded this to Gabe Newell of VALVe Software. [The great man, we should all be thanking for Half-Life 2 big grin ].

A couple of hours later, Gabe replied with the following:

Quote:We're running a bit of an experiment. We're keeping track of the accounts that do this and will be shutting them off.


So, as you can see, VALVe Software have released a test "warez" version aimed at catching people out. These people will have their accounts deleted and will be banned from Steam.

Therefore, I strongly suggest that you DO NOT participate in these illegal activities as it would only lead to your own harm.

VALVe Software spent over $40 Million to develop Half-Life 2. Show them you appreciate their work. Buy the game! smile

As the saying goes: BURN YOU WAREZ MONKEYS! LoL!

Spread the word!


And Half-Life 2 Multiplayer: Quoting HL2files.net:
Description:
A pack of 2 maps to be played on Half-Life 2 Retail Multiplayer. [Yes, MULTIplayer!]

Here's how:

Type the following commands into the console in order to setup a server. To get the console up either press the ~ key or put -console after your shortcut or go to steam > play games > right mouse button on half life 2 > launch options > put -console there.


net_start
sv_lan 0
deathmatch 1
maxplayers (whatever you want)
map (mapname ie hl2mp2.bsp)
restart


To connect to a multiplayer game just type:

"connect" followed by the IP address the port number is usually "27015".

Example: connect 127.0.0.1:27015

Extract this mappack to your hl2 "maps" folder, until some decent custom made ones are made! smile

Here is a link to the mappack:
http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/HalfLife_2_Retail_Multiplayer_Test_Maps;33049#Download

!!!


You are all welcome for the multiplayer. But be careful about getting HL2!

just a thought.....

Here in the Jolly Old United states, that comes to about 50$, which is more one can make in eight hours on minimum wage. I am not shelling out 50$ for a cd rom, or dVd or whatever the hell it is. If it maybe was ten or twenty dollars, I might consider buying it. Meanwhile, I will fight until death.

[Peerzy]

As far as i know this is a fully cracked version of the game. It emulates steam. 1.6gb big becuase o massive compression, unrar's to more thn double he 1.6gb size. Im geting now to seed on Fasttracker so i will post if it works or not in about an hours time.

I) This is a release to the game and totally different to wha is being talked about in the Stickie.
II)People tend to not check up on longer stickied threads.

This isnt really an offical release to be honest. Wasn' PRE-d or anything. It wont be on torrentbits and i doubt nyones stupid enought to try and download it if it reaches Suprnova.

:D

[silent h3ro]

Ownage!!! Yes!!!! I Love Fasttrracker!!!

Iv got about 600mb to go, under and hour now.

[daniboy]

so... working or not?

[swarnel]

If i downloaded this game would i be able to play it or has it got some protection thing?

[{I}{K}{E}]

like I said before wait for a proper release if you wanna download the game.

[daniboy]

ok but how are we gonna know which ones the proper release? the axpi one might work. i started d/l it already but its goin really slow. only about 5 KB/s

[silent h3ro]

ok but how are we gonna know which ones the proper release? the axpi one might work. i started d/l it already but its goin really slow. only about 5 KB/s Thats weird, mines going around 32 kB/s.

[BawA]

Ok, to keep these forums from getting out of control, please don't post topics asking the following questions.

Quote:
# Where to find HL2
# What version to download
# How to activate HL2
# Where to find a serial for HL2
# For the EMPORiO or Clone releases to be re-uploaded

Not too hard now is it?

The torrent and any patches are around the internet now, so no need to ask for them here!

Threads on what the gameplay is like for those who have either bought it, or already got it working are allowed but will be moderated tightly, so don't ask one of the above in the thread.

Come on guys, its just a game afterall.

Is TB afraid of Something, did they get any kinda of warning? why thier saying "Dont ask here"
If its on the internet WHY they didnt Release anything yet(Except Few Nuked)?
Mybe i missed something...

[Esal]

Alright this is real genius. i finished downloading the 4028mb versio, with [www.elitewebt3.com] in the name. I try to unrar, and it asks for a goddamn password. I thought it would just be the name of the website, but nope it sure isnt. I tried all kinda different variations of it, but none of them seem to work. In the file list within winrar, theres a text file called 'password here'. Well how can i read it if I cant open it???? Whats the point in putting passwords on this shit anyways? Anyone help?

can u say ban?

Oh yeah, and take a look in what reads under my sig too.

Any torrent link will be removed and I might even Ban someone for next thousand years.

game works perfect.

@IKE this is proper cracked and everything its just not full scene release if you will.

okay...the biggest if not most anticipated pc game in years, and nobody's cracked it yet?? good job valve!! i'm a little disapointed, but i guess i'll just have to wait...or i could actually go out and buy the game...NAH!

any program which needs Online activation is hard to crack unless they got acitivation over phone like Norton products.
so this kills ability of some gamers to play Hl2 if they dont have internet.

[Esal]

peerzyboy, are you talking about that 1608mb version? I just got the password to that rar file i was asking about earlier, had to go to the forums and sort through spanish to find it but I found it. Anyways, I think valve may have had a plan for the people who wanted to download. They figured if they could postpone a good cracked version long enough, even if just a week, it would force those who really wantd to play the game but initially intended on just downlaoding it to go out and buy it. Sounds logical to me. The download I got coems with two other files, ones a fix, and the other is an activation. However, I just clicked launcher.exe, and started playing. ive gotten to a part where im going through an underground railroad, and theres this helicopter following me shooting at me. So I think its safe to say this version works, even though im just at the beginning and not sure if itll work all the way through.

[daniboy]

well i decided 2 get the emporio version. i have 5 ftps for it so its d/l pretty fast. im gonna be really pissed if it doesnt work.

I apologise, I was just posting the name of the torrent. I didnt realize that this post editor would carry the link over also, I went to Suprnova and copied the name, I didn't see that I had accidentally posted the link.

[dboucher]

so can anyone confirm the 1.56gb version as working....? full, proper game...?
peerzyboy, what did you mean by its "not full scene release"...?

[silent h3ro]

so can anyone confirm the 1.56gb version as working....? full, proper game...?
peerzyboy, what did you mean by its "not full scene release"...? Yea the version on FastTracker is fully working. I have it myself. :) He prolly means its now a full scene release because u just download the Half LIfe 2 folder instead of the .iso.

° Game info: °
Û Û
Û The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Û
Û Gordon Freeman who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth Û
Û being picked to the bone, its resources depleted Û
Û its populace idwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable Û
Û role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Û
Û Black Mesa. And a lot of people he cares about are counting on him. Û
Û Û
Û Features: Û
Û - Advanced facial animation Û
Û system delivers the most sophisticated in-game characters ever seen. Û
Û With 40 distinct facial "muscles," human characters convey the full Û
Û array of human emotion, and respond to the player with fluidity Û
Û land intelligence. Û
Û Û
Û - From pebbles to water to 2-ton trucks respond as expected, Û
Û as they obey the laws of mass, friction, gravity, and buoyancy. Û
Û Û
Û - Source's shader-based renderer, like the one used at Pixar to Û
Û create movies such as Toy Story® and Monster's, Inc, creates Û
Û the most beautiful and realistic environments ever seen in a video game. Û
Û Û
Û - Neither friends nor enemies charge blindly into the fray. Û
Û They can assess threats, navigate tricky terrain Û
Û and fashion weapons from whatever is at hand. Û
Û Û
ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
Û Release Notes: Û
Û Û
Û This is a Steamrip of Half-Life 2 from Steam (doh). Û
Û All unnecessary files were removed, crack is already applied and should workÛ
Û fine now :) Û
Û Our previous version was not working correctly also not with the APE fix Û
Û thats why we made this one! Û
Û If you still have save files from previous version just copy them over. Û
Û Û
Û BUY THE GAME IF YOU LIKE IT! ENJOY! Û
ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
Û Install Notes: Û
Û Û
Û 1. Unpack the release with WinRAR or WinACE Û
Û 2. Run Launcher.exe and the game will start ;) Û

Is it as heavy as Doom III on the PC?
I mean, is there more Graphical Fancy Pancy etc.?

[SingaBoiy]

Yea, you'll need a pimped out system to play this to its full potential.

[cpt_azad]

wat singa said, but HL2 is highly optimized (unlike D3), so it can run on a very low end PC (by todays' standards, you can play it nice and smoothly w/ a 1.2 ghz).

[Afronaut]

Hawt, i got 2600+ amd, but my Graphic Card is from Rectum.
Which I wish to change soon.
:)

Right now I got nVidia Ti4200 which is, like I said , rectum fire...

Nice to know I have a change to take a look at it somehow,
if i DL it someday...

[S!X]

Im currently downloading Half_Life_2.WORKING_AXPi and shall be done by morning :D Cant wait! :cheers:

[S!X]

What are the bugs in HL2?:blink:

[cpt_azad]

umm, none so far.....great game, u'll love it.

[Cheese]

How strange.

Half Life 2 just arrived on my doorstep. Must have ordered it online from Game whilst drunk. Just as I'm downloading it from TB.

For once I feel no guilt in downloading a game...:wink:

[cpt_azad]

lol, i wonder why cheese :rolleyes:

[cpt_azad]

god i love the opening sequence, i can watch it over and over and over and over....well u get the picture:

[Vamp]

I'm getting the original today, my friends told me that the installation is terrible... That you have to install, install steam, download patches and updates and have steam running on your PC which takes like an hour before you can play.

How true is this because I'm not looking forward to it one bit... I don't want Steam and it's add-on shit on my PC.

[newcombe6]

true im afraid - steam is fine once installed and is great for bothe cs scource online and half life 2 - but it takes bloody ages to install when you first get the game. im on 56k and it honestly took about 1 1/2 hours between getting the game home and playing it

its all straight forward - but a right pain in the arse

good luck with it

[Darkshade]

I'm getting memory read errors when it tries to rebuild Node Graph (which is everytime it switches scenes.) Of course the read errors boot me out. Any solution?

ok just played it(Half-Life_2.WORKING-AXPi), one thing i want to know.. did this released Ripped Movie clips or starting Clip, cuz i see no startup movie, there should be a "On previously" Clip. if they did RIp then i wont play this version, there is no fun without movie.

[Vamp]

Whenever I want to play the game, I get the whole "Connecting to Steam" "Preparing to play Half Life 2" thing...

How can I play in offline mode, even though I have a 24/7 connection, I don't want Steam running in background...

It says on the reference card to select Remember My Password on the login screen, but which is the login screen cuz I can't find that option!

[gildan2020]

all these releases have the same weakness, they dun have the solution to all those minor bugs u see while playing (AI_disabled and etc). all they have is a workaround, just a temporary fix to correct the problem.

so, most of the latest releases are fine, no matter wat u choose. it's the question of how much can u bear with the annoying minor bugs coz they won't go away anytime soon.

Vamp - A 1.6gb download.

The Emporio release is gay though. It worls perfectly fine. Although my system sucks at running in on 1024x768.

that's the bug that everyone faces. and by everyone i mean those who got the game illegally. u can't run away from it.

if u got it legally, then u can to complain to Gabe Newell personally. I'm curious about wat he has to say about this.

Gam3Guy - you got the release from fasttracker, iv already posted fixes for porblems in the torrent thread on there.

@Bawa - You should check the thread as well.

if this doesnt fix the problem i'll upload my saved game from just after that point. Its not a downloaded versions fault. Valve are working on a patch.

ive got the retail version - so maybe theres a bug in the crack release - but in my game after you talk to the old guy - one women goes to check the equipment and the other goes up to check the electronics up above. the daughter will then lead you out of the room youre in to test the new gun.

have you tried talking to all the charectors and testing the machine in the corner that revovles matter -worked for me pal

let me know if youre still stuck and ill go back to an earlier save and see what happens exactly - it was a few days ago now - maybe ive forgotten something - the narrative should continue after a while and you get lead out of the room by the daughter

[TheDave]

i just threw stuff at some guys head till she told me what to do

[Peerzy]

By he way certain people have these busg and some don't they are in the retial as well. I have the same verion as Gam3guy and iv had no prbolems so far. Valve are working on a patch.

What type of HL2 cracked game are you guys playing ? Is it the Emporio one ?

No:lol::lol::lol:. AXpi.

[newcombe6]

I havent even gotten down the elevator yet. :( Thats the problem. Im stuck at the part in the screenshots, if u can remember it.

right - with you now - i was describing the next big once the elevator has taken you down.

whats sposed to happen is she calls the elevator and you and her step in before she takes you down to meet the old man. i went back to an earlier save for you - and when you follow her once you first meet her, she leads you to the elevator and it all happend from there automatically

i dont really know how to help cos it seems your games got stuck for a bit - her ai doesnt seem to continue as it should. have you tried pressing 'use' to talk to her? or trying to push her into the lift? or maybe gettin gin ahead of her and pressing the button (if there is one?)

trying to help mate - but dont really know why your game seems to have stalled.....

i could send you a save file from just after the elevator if that helps - but someone would have to tell me how to do this as i aint got a clue?

just a thought to get you past that bit - you certainly dont want to have to restart the game or wait for a patch!

[Formula1]

the one i saw at suprnova.org has 12,000 users downloading the HL2 file , and its about 2048 mb , is this the correct one ? :|

erm, u need Internet connection for the duration of the activation process
that means u must register online, and then download the activation files and after that, u can play it offline


gildan2020

[Dr Spaulding]

can i download the activation files on one laptop, and then install them on another?

[Peerzy]

You need to be connected to the net EVERYTIME you play the game FOR THE WHOLE PERIOD you play it.

[TheDave]

i read the review and it said the people are a bit stupid if you compare the advance to that of the first. i gotta say BULLSHIT! dont suger coat it.

i've done about 3 levels so far with a squad and they're dumb as fuck. they all have A.D.D, are suicidal and block your path/crosshairs when you're being shot to pieces.


:angry: :angry:

you dont mate - you have to be online to log into steam and then you can disconnect the internet and steam will stay active enabling you to play half life 2 single player offline.

if youre talking cs source of course you have to be online for the whole time you play tho - it being an online game!

[SingaBoiy]

the one i saw at suprnova.org has 12,000 users downloading the HL2 file , and its about 2048 mb , is this the correct one ? :|

nope as you complete levels steam downloads more encription keys. Every few levels it has to connect to steam.

[newcombe6]

nope as you complete levels steam downloads more encription keys. Every few levels it has to connect to steam.

oh right i see what you mean - yeah that makes sense cos now and again - steam has to update half life before it lets me play. so yeah - id say every 3 levels (where a new level is where it has to load) it does this

i hadnt noticed to be honest cos i tend to play for a few hours then come back to it later - but if youre planning to paly it for hours on end then i suppose you would have to be connected to internet the whole time.

if you only play for a few hours at a time though - it doesnt matter about being online - just be prepared to have to let steam update the next time you want to play

good work peezyboy - i never knew that

[barnaby]

hey im just wondering if this game would run smooth on my system?? ive got a P4 2.5ghz , 256mb ddr RAM and 128 radeon GFX card.

[silent h3ro]

hey im just wondering if this game would run smooth on my system?? ive got a P4 2.5ghz , 256mb ddr RAM and 128 radeon GFX card. I think it would run fine on medium maybe a few slowdowns because of the RAM. Also what exactly is ur gfx card? Threre are a few 128 MB cards all varieing in performance.

[S!X]

I heard theres a patch commin out tommorow for this, does anyone know where i can get it?

[Vamp]

Can someone tell me if it's possible to flip cars with the Grav. Gun? my friend said you could, but I'm not so sure of that...

Besides shooting cannisters and flammable barrels at people, what other tricks do you know?

[TheDave]

yeah you can flip cars. theres a part where a flipped one bit by bit to some gun emplacements because my peeps have ADD and cant stay in the same place for five seconds. i hope valve do something about that

[abu_has_the_power]

well, i'm glad to say i got the stupid inanimate woman thing to work. i just saved before she got to the elevator and loaded

[BawA]

Got this fix's from SN, ill come back after trying it

gildan2020

[BawA]

ok this fixed the AI problem but i get Steam Connection error while loading my saved file, i trick it and dont click the "OK" on error window and simply resume game but after few min's game got crashed... i tried it only once it m8 work next, gotta sleep :sleep1:
untill then if u want to try the fix make sure to back up Hl2 and Bin folders before apply patch.

[barnaby]

I downloaded a version off suprnova last night and just installed it but now it comes up with an error while its loading the first level for me and says it could not connect to steam to download the files can anyone help me im already almost at my limit for bandwidth and ive already gotten 2 warnings so i dont wanna download anymore stuff :|

[l_p_4_7]

I just got this game and.... :ohmy: It's absolutely amazing!

However, I dunno if this is just me but after playing it for a long time I get really involved in it and when I quit I feel like I'm still kinda in that strange world. Maybe I'm just crazy tho :helpsmili

[cpt_azad]

i'm not the only one then :ph34r:

[TheDave]

the frame rates too low for me to do that but i know what you mean :fear:

[l_p_4_7]

the frame rates too low for me to do that but i know what you mean :fear:
What system you got?

Runs mostly OK on high settings (!) with my relatively crap Athlon Xp 2000, 512 mb ram and radeon 8500 (soon to be upgraded). In fact this is probably the best a new PC game has run on my system for ages!

Edit: On regards to my earlier comment; You know you've played too long when everytime you close your eyes you see barrels and broken wood :lol:

[TheDave]

p4 1600
radeon 9600 pro
384 ram

dont ask details cos i dont know em :blush:

windows xp almost sp 2


i think i need to reinstall or would another 512 ram help?

[Esal]

Ok well my game has become stalled as well. Im in nova prospekt, right after the part where alyx watches the video of the one girl, showing shes in on the bad shit. Im then sent to a prison area where Im supposed to set up 3 turrets to help me fend off soldiers. Well the first time I played this part, all these soldiers came through, but I died and just exited game. When I started again, the ai_disabled thing came up, so i typed in console 'ai_disable' to activate it again. Well this time only like 3 soldiers came through, and alex told me over radio she would be right there. I waited like 15 mins, no more soldiers, no alyx, no way to progress. It does this even when I load from a further save point. I had to get through a door with noclip, and now I need alyx to use a computer thing, but she wont come. What can I do?

Imagine everyone that has pirated the game in total with the Emporio versions, and every other version that doesnt even require fucking steam. Fuck you Valve.

I'm at the bit where that guy tells you to jump through the window. I jumped through it and theres a door and a white drum with some bottles around it. The fucking door won't open :(

I opened the console and typed in ai_disable 0 and ai_disable 1 but no joy. What an I missing here?

[TheDave]

just load up the bit before and try again

[121]

Done that...

I even started from the beginning 4 times. Is that door supposed to open by walking into it or do you have to press a key?

[TheDave]

try pressing e. look if theres something you need to push out the way

[121]

Thanks Dave,

yeah but i'm really impatient, and when i d/l emporio from suprnova it sat at zero for OVER THREE MINUTES so i tried mister froggy and she started right up like she was sucken diesel! I know that ultimatly i'm gonna be really annoyed that ive wasted twelve hours of downloading arse juice, but what the hay, i once spent two days d/ling 2g of what i though was music progams but turned out to be women in nappies, NAPPIES, 2 GIGs of pictures of WOMEN IN NAPPIES, as you can imagine i was overjoyed.

[TheDave]

looks complicated

[orcutt989]

But it works.

[orcutt989]

My Emporio version went at 200kb/s from suprnova.

[newcombe6]

what does this actually do? sorry to sound like such a newbie - but if you can use cs source to play multiplayer maps - why would you need to do this?

is it importing the scenes and graphics over to cs play? or letting two players play the half life 2 story or what?

if someone can take the time to explain this to an amateur id apprecaite it! i thought mods were more grahic overlays (letting you play as stromtroopers in original half life etc for example)

what is the actual mod on this one?

[gutties]

look,no offense,i know that the emporio version may well be the flake in your icecream but i just wanted to know if the mr frog version works! and who would of thunk it, IT DOES un-steam powered(so far), and not a nappy in sight. Gee wilakers isent this a beautiful game, this may well deserve the ratings it gets, unlike the heap of soiled underwear that was doom 3, now whats the key for aduckdo...

[orcutt989]

It is making a server with all of the things from Half Life 2. Counter Strike: Source is just the original CS with the Source core, and graphics. HL2 Multiplayer would have different weapons, and everything else that is different from Counter-Strike. Read the tutorial if you have other questions.

[newcombe6]

cheers pal - got the idea. does this include the gravity gun? now that would be a laugh......

[cpt_azad]

that'd be so sweet in MP :D :01: :cool:

[newcombe6]

damn right it would - you could make barricades and snipe - and fling cars at people.

it would be bloody brilliant! hope it happens someday. vavle has promised a suprise at the end of the week for steam downloading. could it be this.....

well no - but wouldnt it be f**king great if it was!

[orcutt989]

Well, I think you are able to pick stuff up.

[cpt_azad]

well no - but wouldnt it be f**king great if it was!
hell ya :01:

[newcombe6]

fingers crossed everybody - it is nearly christmas tho!.......would be great for maps like office and piranesi where theres loads of debris to chuck about!

[cpt_azad]

The BBC has a News article about the mass bannings by Valve. This story covers Valves hard line against thieves and how over 20,000 Steam user accounts got banned when trying to run their illegal copies of Half-Life 2:
Game maker Valve shut down the online accounts of the players because it had evidence that their copy of the game had been obtained illegally.

Copies of Half-Life 2 had been circulating on file-sharing systems soon after it was officially released.

Experts said the success of the Half-Life 2 anti-piracy system might tempt other game makers into creating their own version.source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4041289.stm

wow, 20000 is a lot :ph34r:

[Formula1]

This was already posted on another thread...

[Monkeee]

wait so is emporior's release screwed?

[Samurai]

this is why i always say BUY it if you want to play online. fools. all of them.

[Timz]

this is why i always say BUY it if you want to play online. fools. all of them.

lucky me, this was the one game i bought. Go easy on them tho, even if they had bought it their accounts would still be banned

[Formula1]

When ever i play HL2 for around 15-30 minutes i always feel dizzy because of this, and im really serious . Does anyone know a way to fix this ? I heard it had something to do with the fps...

[S!X]

:doctor: Ive got that the first few times i played it, my friend gets it too. i dont know of any fix tho:blink:

[Formula1]

Got this from steam forum. Anyways Half Life 1 and 2 are one of the few games i've only experienced motion sickness, and its very iritating...

http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177159


Motion Sick?

A few tips I've gotten to reduce motion sickness:

* do what you can to increase framerate/reduce framerate fluctuation (reduce screen res, sound and video quality settings)
* setting fps_max to something reasonable may help
* activating mat_vsync may help
* switching from FOV 75 (default) to FOV 90 may help

Other tips I've received:

* while in vehicles, run into less things
* throw up... you'll feel better for a while




Edited by MATT. Also try this:

(Read more at HalfLife2.net.)

1) Update your monitor's drivers.

2) Find out the Maximum Refresh Rate that your monitor supports for the resolution that you prefer gaming on (lowering resolution will result in higher possible refresh rates). This step is just for informational purposes. You may skip it since Step 4 completes this.

3) Download RefreshForce (Google it).

4) Tell it to "Auto Find" your refresh rates and modes. Click Apply.

5) Go to Steam --> Right click Half-Life 2 --> select Properties --> Launch Options.

Now you can specify the width, height and refresh rate of the screen on which you will be playing. Mine, for example is this: -w 1024 -h 768 -refresh 100

This means I am running a resolution of 1024x768 at a refresh rate of 100hz.

6) Click OK and close the Properties window.

7) It's best to restart your computer now, since you applied that RefreshForce fix.

[cpt_azad]

while in vehicles, run into less things

:rolleyes: really? lol

[cpt_azad]

ya, half life 2 is one of the only games i've ever bought (coincidentally [spelling!], bought halo2 the week b4 buying HL2).

[S!X]

:rolleyes: really? lol :huh:

[cpt_azad]

[TheDave]

* throw up... you'll feel better for a while

this for when playing while drunk?

[TheDave]

"It's not hard to see a point in the near future when every publisher wants you to run an application on your system purely to allow you to play their games," he said.

This could mean that computers get cluttered with poorly written Steam-type systems that are used to batter people with adverts.
Unless game firms were careful, he said, they could face a backlash from consumers who soon get tired of maintaining different accounts for every game they play.

this is minimised to the system tray and i haven't done shit yet. if thats not poor code i'm not buying games again:sick:

[barnaby]

how did you guys get the girl to go into the elevator??

[Afronaut]

how did you guys get the girl to go into the elevator??
I had that trouble too.

I saved the game when the Girl was Stuck doing/going anything/anywhere.

Then came here to look up some info, found it and load up the game.

And I load up the Save File where the Girl was stuck, and it continued from there,
she just walked into the elevator (elevator was on the same floor allready)
and kept talking as the elevator started moving...

Try that, might help.

Short version: Save the game, Load up the same Save-game.

:)

[TheDave]

yep or go back to before the last likely trigger. i had to fight a stryder twice to open a sheild thing :miffed:

[gildan2020]

i think by now some of u may have known a new release of Half Life 2 is out courtesy of Vengeance.

so for those guys who are really too frustrated with their current version of HL2 (getting stucked because of a bug in their release), maybe this Vengeance release may help because it seems to have succeeded where others can't...read this and u'll know wat i mean http://www.nforce.nl/index.php?m=nfo&id=80036

its out on TB! Half Life 2 Vengence w00t!

[daniboy]

if i d/l counter strike source will i be able 2 play on line without an original cd key?

[orcutt989]

Counter-Strike: Source does not use CD Keys.

[cpt_azad]

Counter-Strike: Source does not use CD Keys.
umm doesn't it use Steam which uses a CD key, lamens term:

you can't play CS Source w/o valid cd key or any online game for that matter unless you can make cracked servers like halo. good luck :)

nice release unlike other crappy release its setup based not extraction, and has Cs Source too, installing it as i type, let u guys know hows it.

Update:
It works fine, AI and steam problems r fixed(Loaded a Saved file and worked fine) and yes indeed it loads faster.
ooh and Css is included with it.
one thing, if u want to play Css u must go thro steam and it ask for key. what to do know, is there any key been released?
