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 :)

*SPOILERS*

Been on the hover-bike mission for a while now. All the doors sealed and the copter is after me, so I entered the building. Just got the Magnum - such an amazing weapon.

Damn, this game is brilliant. The water effects are amazing.

I completed it, today, was a very long game that I perhaps stupidly played for far too long, but I intend to back, play Half Life 1 and Half Life 2 together, only this time take things slowly and pick up on those incredible details I missed the first time around.

Also, saw a bit of a confusing article on the BBC news website that has reviewed the game, all was fine unti I read the line "The stealth sections are as exhilarating as the open gun battles" Er... What Stealth sections?

Yep, even if they are minor spoilers. I'm thankful that the info I got before playing Half Life 2 was so little, and thank PCGamer for not giving away much in their review, as the game has remained a constnt surprise throughout, even if I already new the gist of what was going to happen.

Some people don't want to know the set pieces...

I'm in the sewers as we speak, bloody excellent water effects.

Yeah, sure, HL2 is good, but is it good enough to make you THAT bad at typing?

Got it this morning, played it for about an hour so far.

*SPOILERS*
I just love the physics of this game - mainly the barrels, shooting them and they slowly burn. I'm up to the bit in the sewers at the mo. They just dumped the explosive barrels from the roof into the water, but alas, they missed me XD

This game couldn't be any better. *fap*
