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?

Yeah, can't disagree with that. Personal favorite? Wacking on godmode, stealing the jeep on the opening level, flying towards enemies and bailing out.

I never get bored of ragdoll physics generated blokes bouncing off trees.
It was a tad abrupt, I'll grant you.
But there are set-pieces there to rank with the best of them.
My favourite still was the "thrown out the helicopter with no weapons" section, 1 M16 and 1 clip with a Trigen coming at you.
Fantastic game and made me splash out on new graphics card and memory just to play it.

Fantastic game and made me splash out on new graphics card and memory just to play it.
In fact, I'm off to play it now.

Loved FarCry. Well, up until the appalling ending / final level................
I just sat their and thought. "What!?" It was like watching the greatest movie even, only to find out the ending sucks. Just like what will happen with Watchmen, if the script ever gets filmed.

Heh. Clean shaven and longer haired now, but the basic gist is spot on. I've already made plans to convert the loft into a war room...

Hmm...well, I'm not averse to single player deathkill either. I'm just rather rubbish at it (with the exception of Star Wars Battlefront, where my good friend Tim suffered at the hands of snipers....).

OK,spacs...I means specs, specs - what are the mins?
Light'll like it if he gets to sit in his swivel chair commanding massive armies of minions, stroking his ginger beard-fluff and laughing maniacally.
Me? I'm not averse to huge-scale battles, but I prefer the satisfaction that comes with being personally and solely responsible for the downfall of Evilcorps - sometimes with the help of small-scale teams.
Far Cry was good because I defeated the perils of evil science and bagged the CIA chicky.

Pc set to auto boot at 7.45am on the 16th...
Coffee machine set to make coffee at 7.55am...
Babysitter booked for 7.55am
Curtains shut, wife ejected and food stockpile in place by 7.58am
After that, I just don't care... I've waited 10 years for the sequal... nothing will interrupt me

Aye, bit of a pain. Still, I was paranoid it would be a huge, huge download that would be impossible via 56k (10k on my mobile). Once registered I think it'll be fine for the single player. Cant see any reason to download multiplayer patches / updates. Steam'll run in offline mode.
I'm quite looking forward to gaming online, but it'll be with my mates and brother. I remember quaking a few years back and the pondscum online was irritating as hell.

Heh. I thought the chance to play a game set in a 1984 style totalitarian state would be right up lights street.

It better not have those massive patches every other day that the original did, I just want to play Half-Life 2 offline - not some online crap with Germans and ROXXOR!!!!! nerdlingers.
