How can anyone play/watch a sequel without seeing the originial? I'll never understand it, especially when they complain about missing information. I know you're not complaining, but you should really play the first one, its a classic.

The Vortigaunts were a slave race freed by Gordon in Half-life 1. They are stranded on Earth, so instead of falling under Combine rule, they side with the humans.

I posted it, and can send it to anyone that wants to host it, since the download quota for my webspace is used up.

Well first, I would suggest giving the game to a friend cause it looks like you're in for a world of hurt. To directly answer your question: Hit "E" to open doors; activate switches, valves, buttons, levers; pick up objects; get health/power from wall dispensers; and many more.

Bump, and should be stickied. I want to discuss the story/ending/etc. but all I see are "STUCK, HELP ME" as far as the eye can see.

He might not be "evil," but his desire for power and control have blinded him, or better, skewed his view of humanity and its values. I also think it's safe to assume (based on the G-Man's opening monologue) that we have the same sense of continuity as Gordon. By this I mean that no time has...

Lame, VCU has a download quota for student webspace. I miss UVa, where they didn't give a crap about throughput. If anyone can host this I'll be happy to send it to them through AIM, IRC, etc.

I wholly expect posting this to oWn my student account throughput limit, but here goes anyway. WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT FINISHED THE GAME!!!! Encoded in Divx/xviD http://vcufiles.vcu.edu/shelburnesr/HL2-Ending.avi

Since the description of that forum is: "If you're stuck in the game or can't get it to work, come here" All these stuck threads are clogging up story discussion.

Or you can watch the ending... It's divx encoded and captured using Fraps. Fraps captures full frame, uncompressed avi's which kills framerate, since its writing 10+MB/s to the HDD while rendering and running the game. So, all setting are maxed out, except anti-aliasing which is turned off...

I captured the ending using Fraps. Its Divx/xviD encoded. WARNING: MAJOR!!!!!!! SPOILER...DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVE NOT BEAT THE GAME!!!!! http://vcufiles.vcu.edu/shelburnesr/HL2-Ending.avi

Just finished the game and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed both the journey and the destination. A lot of people are complaining about how vaguely and abruptly the game ends. But if you think about it, the lack of a definitive answer to our questions is the most logical route, and Valve...

They did say they would be releasing new single player missions via steam, possibly from Alyx and Barney's Perspectives, as well as standalone episodes. They're also adding much more stuff ass time goes on. These announcements were a surprise to me, anyway.

You need to backup from that T-intersection. Look at the two boats from your 2nd screenshot, do a 180, and take a left into the boat yard. There's a wooden dock on the left with an over hang above it. There's a door with a lock underneath the dock balcony, shoot/knock the lock off and proceed...
