ONLY my civilians look like this:


Right click hl2 in games in steam, properties, launch options, "-dxlevel 80" without quotes (may need a space before it)

This will force the game to run in direct x 8 mode, which should fix your water and maybe civvies.

If not, look around some cs forums - some people have the same civvy problem with the hostages in cs source, I'm sure theres a fix.

I'm really tempted to post a screenshot from the end.

Ok so heres some of my screenies. Playin on maxed out everything, so goddamn this game is beautiful. I probably would have beaten it by now had my brother not hijacked my comp and started his own campaign. :p A few of the shots are his. I guess I don't really mind it much... I enjoy watching him play and it helps me savor the game instead of rushing through it.

I haven't taken any screenies recently, I just finished blowing the generator (won't say more so I don't spoil it for anyone, but if you're past me you know what I'm talkin about). I shoulda taken some shots of Nova Prospekt, that was one of my favorite boards visual-wise. I tried FRAPSing some HL2 footage... but due to the uber-high gfx of the game I could only snag a few frames per second. I've had some pretty awesome gunfights that I wish I could share, but I guess the screenies will have to suffice. :cool:

SPOILER - - -






































Did anyone else notice the absence of the water beast shown in the trailers? I was looking forward to taking that down.

[Electrofreak]

According to the Prima book that came with my Collectors Edition, the Hydra (as it was called) was cut from the game because while it was cool as hell to watch it fight other players, the developers couldn't find a way to make fighting it in first person any fun. They pretty much fully completed it however before they decided to cut it.

Ken Birdwell stated, "Cutting it was personally very painful, but I had to do it, when a design just isn't working, it just isn't working. I'd still like to see this in the Half-Life universe somewhere, maybe rethink its AI more along the lines of an Antlion."

A pity, I was really looking forward to that critter as well.

They could've made it so that you had to do certain things to kill it, like the 3 legged beastie from HL that you killed with the rocket. It could be killed by doing certain tasks to turn on some electricity-related object underwater... Merh, shame it's gone. The whole "storm the barricade" with Barney was changed as well, I think it looked better in the vids. Bah.

I don't, but I'd worship the person who finds it.

So then you get it the gun.

Then you have to choose map again to go back to a different level to use it.

Load a map where you have it, then type "changelevel <level>"

you'll start on that level with the uber grav gun.

Edit: I think I have heard that bad things might happen if you save, and dont try to pick up a buggy/airboat/combine APC

[FearTheAtlas]

Hmm...tried doing that, and when I went to canals_01...the crowbar, when I hit a combine...they acted like the secondary fire of the combine rifle hit them :p, they dissolved and so did their gun. BUT! No gravgun :(

I don't know if the center figure is supposed to have those black lines on the left side, but it sure does make it seem as though the figure doesn't belong, doesn't it... Interesting ending. Certainly leaves plenty of room for a HL3.

Anyway, HL2 was fun, even though it seemed a bit short to me. I'd have to say my favorite parts were the Point Insertion, Route Kanal, Nova Prospekt, and AntiCitizen One levels. Unfortunately, I didn't have the presence of mind to be taking many screenshots :(

[WritheNC]

Ugh I hated the ending of the game. :(

[Setari]

id totally post a screen but the game freezes at loading screen just before main menu....which sucks.

Edit: nvm..

Yes. Mine had it too.

I would definately attempt to play the game if...

a) I had the money.
b) My computer would run it.
c) Half-life 1 hadn't bored me to death.
d) My computer would run it.
e) MY computer would run it.

Unless you're running a Pentium 133, you can probably play it. The game runs amazingly well on low end systems, for gods sake its minimum specs are a 1.2 Ghz processor 256 megs of RAM and a DirectX 7 capable graphics card. And I can guarentee you with a 99.999999999% chance that HL2 will NOT bore you. One of the most exciting games I've ever played.

As for not having enough money, start saving. NOW. Its worth it.

[Hydralisk]

specs? Don't even ask...

As for not having enough money, start saving. NOW. Its worth it. Ok, so I'll save for a new computer AND Half-life 2. I can probably get the money by late December. Are there any of those boring levels like in the original where you just run around with no gun and little messages pop up saying stuff like, "Press E to open the podbay door, and walk in."?

No. Non-stop pulse-pounding OMGCOOL action. Complete with screaming zombies, bloodspattered walls, beautiful immersive scenery, and Combine soldiers yelling tactical instructions to one another as you gun them down.
:D

Edit- I'll make another attempt at FRAPSing some action

[EarlyDawn]

...like the 3 legged beastie from HL that you killed with the rocket......Was the coolest boss ever.

Besides the last two chapters. All that is is pull something/ someone with physics gun, throw said object/ person. Repeat to fade.

[Electrofreak]

-_- I haven't beaten it yet. THANKS A LOT.

This is a spoiler thread. Ff you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

You were warned... :rolleyes:

A picture in Walter's lab. I'm assuming the scratched out part is Breen. At first I thought the guy on the right might have been the G-man, but then remembered that there was a scientist in the original game that looked like that. Wasn't there a picture in the original game that looks like this?

Where I stopped playing tonight. I missed getting a screencap of the G-man by a split second.

[EarlyDawn]

I just finished it. Absolutely the best cliffhanger ever.

[Mannequin]

Just beat it, and yes it was the best cliffhanger ever. It leaves so many questions unanswered, especially, who is the g-man?

[Octavian]

Cliffhangers seem to be a new trend with games these days, they did a bit of that in Doom 3 and Halo 2.

[LordOfTheWaffle]

hey can you giveme the spawn codes for the monsters or were i can find em??

[MrPaul]

:Sigh: Sarcasm doesn't transmit well over the internet. I guess I just have to keep telling myself that. I figured the caps would make that obvious. :rolleyes:

To me it just made it seem like you were more pissed.

Also, how long has the topic review thingy been implemented?

[Rbstr]

I.. just played liek teh first two leves(i think i'm at the end of the airboat part) and OMG, headcrabs...then City 17 w/ the HUGE ass tower...and the boat flying over jumps dogding the helo/bombs...increadible graphics...the awsome music during the chase, it fit perfectly. OMG! *dies*

Help now.

I'm at the part where I'm attempting to locate the airboat, but after I meet up with the two headcrab guys, I can't find my way from there. Oh and that electrified box is too dangerous to go through.

You're joking right? go through it and dont touch the sides...

[EarlyDawn]

Wasn't there supposed to be a chunk of gameplay on an arctic icebreaker? I remember such mentioned in previews and other "sources".

[MrPaul]

Wasn't there supposed to be a chunk of gameplay on an arctic icebreaker? I remember such mentioned in previews and other "sources".Now you mention it, yes I remember that. Bastards! Why did they cut so much, they even had it implemented. :(

[MrShooter]

Now you mention it, yes I remember that. Bastards! Why did they cut so much, they even had it implemented. :(

Dont forget them cutting the M-29 OICW look-alike weapon, the hydra (that one blue-transparent-tentacle monster), the one town that had intelligent combine soldiers that would try to break through a door if you blocked it ect, the bullsquid(monster from hl), and other things. :(

OICW I missed, but the other weapons probably made up for it.
I made note of the hydra earlier.
They didn't ditch Traptown (Ravenholm), they just changed it. Lots.
I hated the original bullsquid. :)

[Hezzy]

You can see art for the OICW look alike by using the cheat "give weapon_cubemap".

When you go to select the weapon, it has a concept image as the weapon thingy, and HL2 #cubemap as the heading. The weapon is two red cubes in the top of your HUD. It doesn't fire anything.

I'm disappointed that so much was changed. I honestly don't know why people make stuff to cut it out again. They should keep the stuff they cut, and let you play it seperatly.

[ObnoxiousFrog]

They should (first) change all of the cut stuff, change the reasons why it was cut to make the gameplay more seamless (no doubt they would have done this anyway if they didnt have publishers breathing down their necks to finally get it out), then have it be a downloadable "graft" into the original game, a directors cut, if you will, to give us the chance to play the game as it was intended.
