"*OFFICIAL* HALF-LIFE 2 THREAD"

Well there already seems to be quite a few Half-Life 2 threads cluttering up the PC Forum and I have no idea how many more will be made after the game gets released. So, I made this thread which can be used to talk about everything that is Half-Life 2 related and I hope you will all use it instead of making a thread for every problem/query you have.
So if you have any questions, links, general info about the game or you need help after its release tommorow, please use this thread :)

Damn...it sounds so good. All you lucky people...you get to play HL2 while I get to revise - yay :|

Hopefully mine should arrive tomorrow. If not, Thursday. Can't wait to play this game.

*wets self*

Amazing.

I've just balanced 6 barrels on top of each other, crouch-jumped into a hatch, and all I got was some lousey Suit Health.

You could go further, but needed to be able to fly.

Anyone know how to get past the part with all the exploding barrels in the sewery room. It's got 'CAUTION, This Machinery Automatically turns on and off' on the walls. There's loads of barrels and it looks like you have to either drain the water, or get through a big red hole in the wall. :S:S:S

The lack of cutscenes makes it really hard to walk away from. Usually in a game I'd just say "Ok, next cutscene, save it and go do something else", but there aren't any and I'm finding myself playing it for 3+ hours at a time... Not that that's a bad thing.

Wooo

It's amazing!

Enough talk now. Play more.

Just come back from another session... I just said farewell to the french priest...

My god this game's good.

I just got the Grav gun, it lets you pull all kinds of objects from the ground and use against your enemies.

Had lots of fun killing an army of headcrab zombies with a few hacksaw's, wall mounted heaters and a couple of tins of paint's, which didn't kill em, but it left them covered in a nice shade of white.

Installing the baby now :D
Hopefully it registers I've heard pretty annoying stories about steam..

:-( Response that I got from the Student Network service a couple of minutes ago with regard to using Steam;

Luckily I have pre-installed it and only need a phone line connection to activate it when my copy arrives...


"Hi

I am sorry but steam really needs a raw internet connection using lots of seperate ports to operate properly and will not work on the SNS. It requires 32 separate ports and we are unable to allow these without compromising the performance and security of the SNS.

Regards"
