HL2 is way beyond any of the games you've mentioned, at least in single player.
yes you have to experience the game. And the HL2 deathmatch and counter strike source will keep you busy after you beat the single player game.
it's epic, and you can't miss it. you're very late. go get it now!
it's ok. HDR doesn't make sense. You see the effect whenever but if you look directly into the sun you don't? Right.
I was just looking forward to this release because valve said Lost coast would be released shortly thereafter. So...it's hereafter...where's Lost Coast?
Well I paid for Gold so I'll definitely be downloading it. Honestly I'm pretty excited just because it's something new (never played any of the older DoD games).
I'm just wondering if I'm going to be able to put BF2 down long enough to get into this.
You're such a stupid dickhead. Instead of constructive criticism you start with mouthing off then going off on a ridiculous tangent about people who want to become Eminem? What does that have to do with anything? Then you warn him not to get a guitar and smoke weed? What the hell are you talking...
I'm not sure that the -console command is what gets rid of the background. I think it's -developer 1.
In the "launch options" of half life 2 (right click on half life 2 in games list and go to properties) type in -developer 1
It skips those bgs makes the loading hell of a lot faster.
