Let me begin by saying I think the following is all connected, but it might not be. :confused:
My dog hit my computer in the back where everything was plugged in. Instantly the screen got all garbled and so I shut it off as quickly as possible.
When I turned it back on, I would get that error...
My friend's computer is getting an error everytime that you turn it on that says
the following is missing or corrupted
<windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
and just a month before I reformatted his computer because the computer would hang during the windows loading screen until it...
i havent played very much, but there are a lot of bugs. the gameplay is just as good as the first, but the bugs are much worse. on the mining planet, the first place you go, there is a spot where it is very easy to clip into the wall. also in conversations you can do actions multiple times, it...
im never really played an mmorpg before, but isnt it common for a company to underestimate the amount of servers and bandwidth needed. and there is a period of time where everyone is mad because they are upgrading there servers and eventually everything gets better. so, just have a little patience
each preorder comes with a guest pass for one weekend only. you could ask someone you know if they will let you try it. or you can go to your local game store and out down $5 and you can play every beta weekend (first weekend of each month).
and for the people who have only played the free...
i would just like to say thank you. i never knew that there was any difference between ps2 and usb for a mouse and i just switched my mx700 to usb. it may just be in my head, but i think it is smoother.
i also had a problem when installing these. i installed it over 4.12b and got an error message that said try setting your card in vga mode (or vga drivers or some shit i dont remember). it was weird, but after uninstalling the current drivers and then running system restore i got it to work.
i had no problems other than sound stuttering which never really bothered me. so not everyone get errors, just a little sound stuttering when you save or it autosaves
btw best sp ever
yeah im in it.
i really like the new hud improvements and it is running very smooth (framerate-wise) for me, i dont remember if it ran that smoothly at previous beta events. and i think it gets more fun each new beta weekend
woah there. he got his stuff a few weeks after he payed for the steam version, which was available a few weeks before hl2 came out. i got gold also and i got my stuff in the mail a few weeks after i bought it, but it was the weekend before hl2 came out.
you are crazy this is the best game ever. just because some idiots dont know how to use steam, doesnt mean you shouldnt buy the game.
it is so fun, probably best game ever, but i will reserve that until after i have beaten the game.
yeah it will be fine.
also of note is that in a recent patch steam can now backup the necessary files onto cds, dvds, or any other storage device, just right click on a game and click backup and you can select any games you want.
what about changing resolutions. i have an aging computer that cant run 1280x960 on the latest games anymore. i have heard that lcds dont look nice unless they are in their native resolution
why buy the original half-life when you can download steam and buy the silver ($59.95) or gold edition ($89.95) of half-life 2 and you get all the past games for free. (including half-life) and besides you will be able to play cs source right now
www.steampowered.com
i dont think you can get it free, but you can download it and play for a month for 9.99. the normal monthly bill is more than that though so you are saving money.
i liked it, but i never really tried the mp. it is as fun as the original but just as short. the action is very intense. just one tip: on certain areas enemies will respond endlessly unless you move foward. you have to take their position and then they stop respawning. i figured that out after...
lets get back on topic here: hl2 review in pcgamer. now to answer some of your guys questions and concerns.
1) pcgamer has a review already because sometimes magazines and review sites get early copies so they can have their reviews out before or at the same time as the game is released...
personally i believe pcgamer has some of the best reviews. why is it so hard to believe half-life 2 got a good review? everyone loved half-life and it is being made by the same people. they have spent 5 or 6 years now (as i am sure everyone is aware). and besides you have not played it so stfu.
halo 2 is gold so no reason to believe it will be delayed
you will probably get it on the 9th if they ship it on the 8th and it is one-day shipping. although sometimes there are delays, but since you preordered it, i think you will be okay.
my sister is getting a new camera for her birthday. she wants 10x zoom 3-4 megapixel. we dont like the cameras that use xd only because it is expensive

why is there so much hostility towards valve. downloading games off the internet is obviously the way of the future. if you dont want to buy it off steam then dont and quit criticizing valve. you guys act as if these people killed your family everyone just settle down and then be happy when hl2...
if i buy hl2 through steam, will my money go directly to valve? or does vu still get profit from that too. if it goes directly to valve i think they should drop the price by $10 and i would definately buy it from steam and probably many other people. but, i dont think vu would really delay the...
