Either no one wanted to make one because they never heard of it or because they are too busy playing it.

This game is insane. The physics of this game will rock your world. And the Water looks so realistic too. Anyone got this game or is planning on it?

It killed my friend's computer :lol:

He downloaded it(came free with his ATI graphics card), played it, found out his driver was outdated, went to ATI website and then his comp screwed up.

Lesson of the day: Even if you have top of the shelf computer with the best of the best graphics card.. this game can kill your comp for the sheer fun of it.

very fun, amazing graphics and physics, although I'm experiencing the wide-spread stuttering problem (http://www.blep.net/hl2stutter/), so I'm just playing CS:S until they patch it.

Half-Life 2 is 100^2 times better than Doom3, but it is WAY to short. It shouldn't take me 2 days to beat the game..

Agreed, I doubt anyone would disagree other than the boys over at ID on that point, kinda helps that HL2 was developed as a game rather than a tech demo like Doom 3 was of course. I can forsee mods running on HL2's source engine to keep it goin for even longer than the mods kept the first one going & that can only be a good thing with the quality of some of them out there, bad thing for disk space though

I would get it but I'm not happy of how the steam client is used to unencrypt the game before playing, on 56k that will take a while, unless vavle is prepared to make a version that will work offline and dose not need a steam account, I'm not intrested.
I've had a lot of problems with steam in the past and I'm not prepared to go throught all that again

You're going to download HL2 with 56k? That's pretty screwed.. :mellow:

Phenix you can buy the retial one, that'll install everything, as far as I know all the verifying etc.. is done on your machine with the results being sent through steam, you can then use steam in its offline mode to play the game

I know that you can buy the retail one its just that ive had bad experences in the past with steam and the offline system

I preregistred my halflife key through steam so i could play on-release :D

but then again, JEZUS this game was TOO FREAKIN EASY

seriously i was pickin my nose while playing hard, valve, if you want to make a good game, at least make it hard when someone wants to play hard.

by the way i heard that vivendi f***ed up with making the dvd's on sale.... a friend of mine cant play the damn thing on his player, and so i heard that same problem at millions of others, more reason to download from steam :D

i'm planning on getting it because my friend told me about it and said it's almost as good as Halo 2 and if it's anywhere near halo2, i'll get it. so how many types of weapons are there and enemies? is it all new as you go through it or is it repetative?

Wrath_dman: Play Half Life 1.

I haven't even beat Half Life 1... :think:
