This thread has been linked to the game 'Half-Life 2'.
i am and have been for a long time been waiting for half life 2 to come out. i have seen dvd-rom versions of the game but not seen a cd-rom version. As i have only a cd-drive and cd-rewriter i need cd-roms. What will also be included in the different packages with half life 2?

Ah, the benefit of working :-) Bought my 3D card ages ago, primarily for Half Life 2. Then it went and got delayed. Not much of a problem though, that card has served me well over the last 12 months.

*pats Cyclone on the back* There, there I know how you feel. I'm currently saving up for a GFX card so I can play HL 2 but I got a little side-tracked and spent the money elsewhere so now I'm down to £20 :( So, I've got 5 days to save up money for a new GFX card AND Half-Life 2...looks like you'll all be playing it before me :(

You'll only need to download it if you buy the game via Steam, otherwise it comes as a seperate game that will be bundled with the retail version.

Actually, if you want to be pedantic, the original post was about the different types of media the game may come on, not the game itself. Does anyone care?

We got a little side tracked, but it does use the HL2 Physics engine, which is where we span off from

It's the racing game I've been waiting for now for years. Forget realism, I just want to see how many things you can destroy. The full game has even more bonus tracks, Human Darts anyone?
The handling can be a bit iffy at times, I spend most of the races sliding around corners, but with so many things being destructible I really couldn't care how realistic the cars handle.

It's the racing game I've been waiting for now for years. Forget realism, I just want to see how many things you can destroy. The full game has even more bonus tracks, Human Darts anyone?
The handling can be a bit iffy at times, I spend most of the races sliding around corners, but with so many things being destructible I really couldn't care how realistic the cars handle.

It was actually quite fun to see such things in action. The terrorists where using objects to block doorways to slow down counter-terrorists from rescuing hostages.
Being an online game though, you got the usual "n00b Cam0rz", obviously because the sound strategy to prevent an opposing team from securing objectives you have to defend is flail your arms about and charge head first into the other teams bullets.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do in Half Life 2 with those physics, remembering that video where Gordon push’s a table behind a door to prevent a soldier from breaking in.
