HL2.. Who has it? Created 20 years ago2004-11-16 09:41:07 UTC by Unbreakable

Title says all.

Has anyone played it yet? I want to buy it tonight but the stores are probably sold out.

Will have when i get home im in an IT lesson at the moment, im meant to be doing coursework but just reading reviews on HL2, this lesson is just taking so long well anoying!!!!!

FInally i have it. just waiting for Steam to finish the update, then i'm ready to play:D

I have it - don't be too pessimistic if you're buying it retail, as there's only about half the load there is normally since about half of purchasers are goin' on Steam.

I've already been playing HL2 for a couple of weeks. One of my contacts in the publication industry got me a review code for HL2. Pff, why pay for a game when you can have the review version!

I'm impressed that people still log on TWHL once HL2 is released. I thought everyone would be too busy loading up the Combines with lead.

You know what sucks... I won't be able to play it for months, I got no and I mean NO computer, I'm literally being driven into insanity. AHHHHHHAHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHA

Check This out guys, Impressive or what!?

Is it true that there will be tons of city maps? Because if so that's going to ruin me...

Kinda lucky, i had a teacher training thing at school today, so ive been playing hl2 all day.

For those who have it, how far are you?

i hate everyone with good PCs....
bastards...

Have it, love it, and yes, perhaps im a bastard, but oooh yeah being a bastard rocks!

you wre born with 1 parent? sad....

bit of topic, but i aint got a good pc, few stats for my 5 year old machine, has had memory upgrades and new gfx card:
1.4 ghz amd athlon processor
512MB ram
geforce fx 5200
and it runs hl2 allright on lowest settings

i have 96 ghz Pentium 3 proccesor.... (somethin like that.)

i cant play it.

96GHZ? Do you live in teh future?

Probably something in the range of 1.x GhZ or 900-lower MhZ.

2.6 ghz, radeon 9600 se (preferred card of HL2 )

Yea I have had HL2 since 5:40pm (GMT). Its now... 1:45am and I am pissed off with HL2, I have been playing for about 7/8 hours solid now, I am at prison base place where you get to use ant lions against combine.

I have a complaint about HL2, I had to stop playing for foor, toilet and a drink, when I stood up my legs started kaning! Damn game is so good I have got cramp from playing it so long lol.

Yea it rox.

I can see a load of MP race maps sprining up

omfg is it just me or does not having a computer that can run hl2 suck!!!

i can play half life 2....only if i look at the ground and only look up to see were im going.

i just got to the first part with the roof top and the damn guys are shooting at you and my comp froze when i looked at them because i saw the blue thing called the sky and it was like ......nope im not good enought to see the damn things that are shooting at me or the sky for that matter.....

just to let you know it runs at 50 fps when i look at the floor and 3 fps when eye level....so it bites but good news is that i can move around a ROOM THAT HAS NO SKY and it runs about 24 to 35 fps but hey when i saw the damn flying things on the Roof top it went from like 26 to -10 fps......

i have a nivida geforce TNT2 something a direct X 6 i think???
a 20 gig HD, a .935 prosseser not even a gig!!!!
um and a 3.1 sound card or 2 speakers and sub.

I cant wait to go to jordans house....DRoollllll he has a server for a computer.

thats all i have to say, hosted CS:S and not its just for HL2 and omg it runs like a black guy in a hunted house!!! (i work a haunted house, no offence to the black people i love'em) so i just hope that he is going to school because i don't have work and yes a full day of hl2 is going to be sweet.

PS:i hate this POS computer i have right now.

hldm might be closer then u think check www.hl2world.com .THEY found away to get dm

To stop pirates. It will, since you need to AUTHENTICATE with Valve before playing. How are pirates gonna get around that? I find it great, no-one can steal my fucking CD key now.

Lol...
No one even commented m0p...

I don't think anyone cared. I guess we are used to m0p's "I am teh 1337est and you suck"ness.

Hows the "Loading" process, Is it run off the same engine as the first, I found that the first halflife was incredibly fast loading... well?

Trapt, this is wrong.
It is impossible to create a uncrackable software, unless you don't care about human rights.
All they have to do is find someone who has legal access to the system and is corrupt enough. Or they manage to hack the servers. They've done it before.
There is no way to absolutely protect your digital porducts from pirates.
The most intelligent way is to encourage people to buy the products, by making the buy-version special through goddies, nice packing and a voluminous manual. I would pay up to 20% more for such things.

And again the honest people, who do respect digital property and pay the money to use it, but don't have internet are the ones who are punished.

The loading process is slower, much slower, since levels are larger and have more shtuff in them. Of course, it's harder to notice on a faster computer.

Trapt, will you ever SHUT THE FUCK UP? All I hear from you is "OMG m0p is teh 1337 stuck up shit". And you? You are an annoying little cunt who should be dead!

Now that I have that out of the way, I can play HL2 even on my crappy 1.4GhZ Athlon + GeForce 3 fine. Oh, and FX5200 isnt that great. My GeForce 3 can beat it at performance. You really need a ATi 9800 Pro or better to play HL2 exceptionally well.

lol, i just complete hl2, wow it was fun. i completed it on easy and it was way too easy. Now redoing it on hard and got to ravensborn, what place sceared the crap outa me when those really fast ones come after ya.

NO SPOILERS!!!!
I HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN THE GAME YET! STFU!

Seriously guys, don't give ANYTHING AWAY. I haven't played it yet either.

ditto. getting it on sunday.

I was holding it in my hand today, but I decided not to pick it up for 3 very good reasons:

1. Cost is $55 US -- kinda pricey right now for me
2. You have to log on to steam to play the SP game?! WTF!!!!
3. It prolly won't run on my computer anyway.

I suppose I'll be forced to buy it once everything on steam goes source, but for now, I can live without it. Screenshots look awsome though.

well just to let you know i was lookign for a new Computer and form what i can tell e-bay has computers for around $950.00 or less that has everything that you need to play HL2.!!!!

Most of them are dell because if dell can't sell new from the web site they sell cheep on ebay so there still making money.

hello X-mass and hello NEW COMPUTER!!!!!

96GHZ? Do you live in teh future?

Probably something in the range of 1.x GhZ or 900-lower MhZ.

oops, not 96 Ghz, lol. yah, like 900 mhz. Missed a couple of buttons and a number.

I have a week for playing it... World of Warcraft euro beta

I'm getting a new computer for christmas to madcat, I can't wait.

My dildo ate my HL2.
Yes. Its True.

Dell + Good = OMG CHECKSUM ERROR!

Dell are shit and only complete noobs use em. You don't need a 2800+ to play HL2. If you can read, it plays on a 1.4GhZ Athlon T'bird.

expensive? good? no more needs to be said.

now look at the cheep dell computers that would cost you a big chunk of change is not so bad.

The one time I used a Dell, it fucked up and overheated. Opened it up. Cables were a nasty mess. Corners cut in attaching drives. They are really shitty machines. That's why I don't trust prebuilt computers.

you guys are so lucky

M0p: of course you can play HL? on a 1400mhz CPU, but it'll bring about as much fun as with a gf3 and 256mb of ram.
With a 2800+ you should have no problems playing on maximum detail, with the other required hardware, of course.

woot W00T! Just bought Half Life 2 and will install it tomorrow!

i got hl2 a few days ago it rox man its so fun if you dont have it YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hehehe

oooo Nice on finishing the game Captain P, I think I am pretty close to completion and I must say, this is one awesome and beautiful game!

AHHH! I beat the game, and I must say I love the ending, the VERY ending wow, that was fun, now, time to wait for the full SDK......
