did they bring back the TAU CANNON ?? that thing was a killer in MP games for the first HL . i cant wait to get this game ..

I cant get past this part where u enter a room full of exploding barrels when those flying razor things come at you. After you enter a room full of pipes and u go down and turn controls so the room fills with water. What do i do now?

Go back to the room with the exploding barrels, go underwater by the ladder and swim through the red tunnel down there. Then break the boards at the bottom of the room.

I got a question, does anyone else notice a resembalence to Minority report and Equilibrium mixed into this at all?

I was stuck at that part for probably 15 or 20 minutes. Eventually figured it out though.

I see minority report with the flying camera thingies, and equilibrium with the giant tv monitors, altough i'd call that more like 1984, since that book was probably the founding father of big brother type situations. Love that book!

Steams the biggest pile of worthless god forsaken shit on earth. I hate this fucking program with every ounce of my soul.

Boat level is giving me the sleeping:

I liked the boat level. When you have to dodge the helicopter dropping bombs and machine guns its pretty fun.

I'm playing at 1024x768 and it's as smooth as butter, I think I'll crank up the res later on when I play. beer:

what did you use to take screens? fraps?

I will definently be stealing that from my friend when he gets it. rock:

No, hit F5 in the game. The screenshots are placed in X:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[account name]\half-life 2\hl2\screenshots

thank you

Ok, I'm on this amazing part right now, you see, I can call in airstrikes from above with this red knob and that can like, kill enemies and stuff. In this screenshot I just captured you'll see the in-game phsyics demonstrated in full effect as the wall gets blown to pieces

Just had a friend round tonight playing hl2, this guys a complete console geek and hates pc games. Needless to say after seeing the physics in action and playing it his jaw has yet to leave the ground. biggrin:

whoa you get guns in this game?! sweet! rock: sleeping:

so i got a 2.4ghz p4 processor with about 776 megs of ram with a geforce 4 mx. how well will this game run on it? should i upgrade my video card?

ran that. i got 3 or 4 bars higher than the minimum pc.

here are some screens at 1600X1200. Very big, thats why I didn't post the image.

Well as I stated in my last post, I've been playing it on my p4 1.5ghz, 1gig sdram and a geforce 2 ti older pc and it's very very playable, you can scale things down alot.

You could play it fine on that but its up to what you think is fine, just a guess but i'd say you could have it at 30-40fps on your machine easy. mine is running on 800x600, low detail and its giving me bout 20-30 fps, i thought it'd give me 4 fps. I'm not usually into playing on ugly mode but its only temporary as I'm awaiting a cable for my radeon 9800 pro to arrive so i can stick in my p4 3.0ghz beast.

Get a Radeon 9800 pro maybe or save up for more, however, you'r cpu seems a fine speed for hl2, anything under 1.5ghz will struggle when the action heats up.

Offline Half Life 2 Activation Patch.


Okay, I am pretty sure this wasn't posted on here before, but this might solve a few people's problems. I haven't tried it yet (uh, don't have the whole game yet), but it should work.

this game looks tight but i still think pac man has better graphics dance:

my computer is under all those and i got higher than 3 or 4 bars more than minimum.
