Who's getting HL2 then?

[smit101]

Well, have been through the opening until the teleporter area but I'm getting a few sound problems,possibly due to my Audigy 2 and EAX as Phil mentioned,haven't had any complete crashes though just minor sound stuttering,will update soundcard drivers and see if that helps.

Must admit though, so far I'm gobsmacked by the amazing visuals and Physics,to my eye its the best looking engine so far,much grittier and more realistic than Doom3 and Far cry etc.It seems you can interact with just about any object on screen.I must have spent half an hour just picking up cardboard boxes and milk cartons and chucking 'em at NPC's heads Will get more serious though once I'm tooled up.

Will have a trawl around and see what can be done about the sound issues,will post back if I find anything worthwhile.

There is a problem with the Audigy 2 and HL2 - it causes these crashes and occurances in the game. Some people have been able to get round it by disabling or reconfiguring EAX.

I'm not very far into it, I'm not very good at these games I have to say, and I've only just picked up the crowbar, and havent even seen a bird, let alone shot one out of the sky!

Might be why I haven't hit the desktop yet, I'm using Sound Storm on my NF7-S (Classic)! Don't worry Phil, I'm also incredibly poor at these games. I'm not much further than you I got the crow bar and the gun and I'm in the canals or something I think in a train yard. I keep getting ran over trying to avoid bullet fire!

..and where from? I want to get it tomorrow, (not that I'll have much time on it) but its the thought that counts - I want it... Must get. Have only seen CS : Source trailers havent even played it yet, and then there's HL2..

cant belive i have copleted it now.

but just want to say this, the best money

i have ever spent on any game.

nice 1 valve.

just a couple of niggles.

parts of the game shown in most e3 demos r not in this game.

the pier in the sunset with crows and zombies is not there.

the part where u and ur mates fighting and throws a granade

@ opposition and they fly into a car and the car alarm goes off not there.

and the most famous part with the striders in ther street fighting

blowing up cars and attacking us is not there.

only when u r on the roof of buildings.

never mind good game anyways...

Dazboots, maybe you can help me then.. I am stuck in the prision.. The part where you have three remote guns to use and your are trapped and guards just keep coming.

is it a case of having to battle it out or is there a better way to place these guns ??

Help

right place the 3 guns in a triangle position m8.

and stand in the middle fighting all directions.

if a guy knocks over a gun stan it up again.

just keep fighting till the bird gets there.

Have been taking my time and savouring the game so I'm still not that far in,I think the level i'm currently on is called entanglement.

Enjoying the game so much that i've disabled autosave, which allows me to accidentally on purpose forget to save manually,so when I die I have to play through huge chunks all over again.

 

[Epicurus]

yeah I am kind of taking my time too.. Dont think I am that far ahead of you..

I think it will be a long time before we see a game of this high quality again

You got to find away through the room by climbing up onto the surroundings without tripping those red lasers.

 

[Epicurus]

If your where I think you are then you have to climb on the book shelfs and jump over the top. remember to move the jumping mines as well

 

[Epicurus]

DOH!!! I am now stuck..

Dark Matter I think the chapter is called..

Its the bit where you have to get to the top of the tower to damage the portal, but there are 2 fighters that pop out and I keep getting killed..

 

[ZaX]

Grab some of them energy balls with your gravitiy gun and blast it at them, whilst dodging their fire of course.

 

[Epicurus]

oh right.. that all then.. DOH!!!!!

Downloaded HL2 Deathmatch, pure madness, thats all I can say, pure madness I had so much fun last night just dashing around radiators, shelves, sinks, toilets and everything I could get my gravitiy gun on. I hardly used the other weapons

Axer if you read this mate, please get this running on one of your servers.
