What makes the HL series so unique?
It's so true. WTB streaming maps. Oh well, there's always HL3. -

Write Valve/Steampowered and tell them about the return of the stutter problem
Obviously. But isn't it natural to assume that if two games (both of which have higher RAM/system requirements when running at full detail) run well on my computer, that a game with lower requirements would also run well? Also, it's very disheartening to see HL2's performance change from patch... -

san andreas or half life 2???
You can't be serious. 1. 3d GTA games have been developed with the PS2 in mind. I'm still kinda surprised that my PS2 even runs San Andreas. 2. I don't know if you noticed, but the GTA engine has to worry about a LOT more than anything going on in HL2. Plus, there's the whole streaming... -

i'm 99% sure that you'll be able to buy day of defeat: source seperately. anything else just doesn't make sense. i can't imagine they'd charge too much for it. i hope not, anyway. -

How do I uninstall aoutomatic updates? Is it even possible?
yeah, but there's no way to roll back to previous (potentially working,) versions. at all. -

Quick Question
there are also subtle gameplay differences. for example, have you noticed that the headcrabs all act like hl2 headcrabs? ie. faster, but you can kill them with one crowbar whack.
