Jezpuh, perhaps you should get a ride to a bigger city nearby. HL2 is already being sold in our country, though I haven't seen it in a lot of shops. Might be because of it's 18+ rating.

I found the last two chapters a bit too easy for an end-game part. They might've thrown in a few more hard puzzles or something interesting with the combat. It felt too easy with that gun... although it was fun and had a nice pace, I must admit.

The end part had a certain 'Jedi-esque' feel to it I suppose it was to make you feel like you're the all-powerful Gordon Freeman, an unstoppable killing machine with glasses. If you look at it like that, it's every nerds dream! So I think it did it's job

(I loved the rides in the metal coffin things btw) ^^

Did you happen to install any Half-Life or HL2 related fonts before installing HL2, or possibly after?


Nothing like that whatsoever. Installed straight from the box, and that's how it's always been. Haven't modified or done anything to any fonts. Any other suggestions?

? quoting Crono
I've noticed some of the scripted sequences have a fixed amount of steps, instead of actually walking to the point they're suppose to perform the action.

Such as when you first get the Grav-Gun, in the lab before hand, Alyx's father (I don't know why I can't remember his name right this moment), got pushed out of the way by me, and started typing in mid air.

Another thing was during the grav-gun course, I dropped a box on Alyx and she disappeared. I found her at the beginning of the next section. And once the training was over DOG got stuck outside the airlock and magically appeared inside the airlock.

So, I think some of their timing is off. (I didn't try launching the ball over the cliff though.)

What's this? I can't hack apart the quote for length!? Bah!

Anyway -- I actually launched the ball over the cliff the first time I went through the chapter -- I, erm, did it by acident

First time I used the gravity gun, I dropped a paint can on my head

Okay ....

I was playing once more and aparently, HL2 didn't feel like lighting the maps properly anymore. Ravenholm is full bright. I can imagine having those cajin head crabs after me in the dark. Yikes. I've also been noticing some re-spawning for NPCs : something that wasn't in HL1. [addsig]

Heh, first thing I did with the gravity gun was pick up a nearby sink, toss it directly above me, and tried to catch it. I missed, and it hit me. I died instantly.

There are some bugs associated with moveable objects. I found that sometimes whilst crawling over them, or trying to push through, I'd suddenly die. From 100-0 in a second. I don't know if anyone else experienced similar instant death bugs relating to physics objects, but it happened to me 3 or 4 times and was very annoying.

I had it happen a few times - Annoying when you haven't saved in quite a while :/

I found the G-man suprisingly poped out in a few places. When I was in my fan boat thingy he was on a dock above further down the stream. Just standing and starring, I went up jumped on the dock climbed the stairs and walked towards the door to brutaly get hit in the face with a barrel from a zombie. That was kinda wierd. Later on He was spoted above me in front of a overpass. Thats about all that stood out to me. The game was nice and all but the ending was not as i had though. I have no complaints though better than anyone i know could do.

Yeah, he's supposed to be. It happened in the original if you didn't notice.

Ey, loco, odd thing for that to happen - in the CS Source Beta, when they didn't have any hud sprites for the weapons yet, they were replaced with big letters. Sounds like you need to re-install the sprites for the game.

I figured, but I would depend on others then. As I don't feel like biking all the way x|

Continuing the random sub-thread. I found something interesting. In C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamApps<username>half-life 2hl2resource there are two .ttf files. One named "hl2crosshairs" and the other named "halflife2". Can someone upload a working version of these and post a link? That could be the problem. The hl2crosshairs certainly looks empty

That would be a bit more efficient. And it would allow the HUD to look good at any resolution. [addsig]

What, I missed both of those? My second time through I did see the GMan 3 times, while I missed him completely the first time. I saw him on TV during Route Kanal (in the boxcar converted to underground checkpoint with a vortigaunt and citizen), in Nova Prospekt on one of those switchable video screens, and in Follow Freeman on a TV half-buried in the rubble. How many more did I miss?

Actually, I think he appears in most of the oppening screens. As in, when you first load the game, it'll show a picture of some area of the game.

I've noticed him walking about in a few of 'em. You've got to be quick though, as it doesn't loop. He's only there for a second or two. [addsig]

I've only seen him once so far, but I can't remember exactly when it occured. I think it was up some watch tower thing around the coastline area, where you could look through some combine binoculuars and see him in a base. You could also see barney walking along its outer wall and kicking an antlion corpse off it

sadly, i just met alyx or whatever her name is, between getting ready for turkey day, and these Xmas computers i have had no time to play.

but looking over my sons shoulder once, i saw him.. it was as he was gliding up on the boat thingy.. he was standing on top of a second story ledge/porch of a wooden shanty.

needless to say, before you can hop up there he exits stage right.
