Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
A quick Note. Installed it an played it after hours at work. Only my work machine has the ponies to play the game. The install was intermiably long, even with the DVD> all the "Steam" thingies just slowed it to a crawl, during the install. But the game itself.... Excellent Single Player. None of the feeling of walking… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
hah I found an even more obvious bug, but not a biggie. Spot the difference in the view underwater and above it: and to end on a more positive note, I just love this shot. It's damn near photographic: -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
We've been over this. Steam doesnt have to connect to the internet to run it's games. It has an offline mode that should kick in whenever it cant find a connection. You selecvt yes and then keep playing. Easy as eating pie. -

"Ok so is it only for the first start? Meaning I wont have to be connected everytime I want to play the game? " Yes. You only need to connect once, then you can switch Steam to an offline mode. -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
What worries me is that none of the tech forums I've read really mention anyone else with the same problem. And I can't imagine why it would have happened so infrequently before but happen almost automatically now. Screen locks, the audio starts stuttering and I sob quietly into my keyboard... -

You sir rushed through that game and most likely played it on normal. Its an experience, not a cheesy frag… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
for sett and everyone else just tuning in, nobody (whether an early retail copy or a steam copy) can play HL2 before it's activated this monday night at 12:00 am. and for the people still hung up on either valve security or big brother paranoia, read the gamespot 'final hours' article. has an overview of the development… -

Voodoo: I managed to get TIE fighter working in XP... can't remember how though! Took a lot of fiddling with compatibility modes. You could always get DOSBox or AbandonLoader to try it! Oxy: good find on the vortigon also i noticed that if you shoot the zombies with the black headcrabs clinging to them, then the headcrabs… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
[ QUOTE ] Oh, has anyone else suffered sound "popping"? Like when two many sound start at once there will be a delay/repeat/pop? Im using a nforce sound system if its related. [/ QUOTE ] Someone from Valve said to try turning down your sound detail (which shouldn't have much noticeable affect on gameplay but may help stop… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
Don't get me wrong, it looks very good for what it is. It has an excellent story, and the gameplay experience is thrilling. I credit the art production more then the artists though. I'm not far into the game yet, but it seems like they only made 10 character models for the whole game, and reused them everywhere. Takes you…
