I have to say I hope the official release is better than this. I appreciate the effort of releasing this, but I just don't like it. Everything outside looks all washed out, and everything inside has lost the carefully implemented lighting contrast. The lighting that looked so alien in the prison...

poopoo

Here's my half assed theory. From things I've read in various locations and posts, the resonance cascade spread out over the whole earth, xen creatures infest the planet, humanity retreats to easily defendable locations, a variatable night of the living dead, yadda yadda yadda. The combine...

Release dates are subject to change. Prerelease videos are not indicative of final content. Released software will always have bugs, you should be glad that Valve tends to be johnny on the spot in cleaning them up. Anti-piracy options are used at the disgression of developer/producer. Sorry...

Hard OCP's just covering this? Haven't we been bitching about this for about 3 months now?

Yeah, except that the Hydra apparently wasn't that great, readin the "raising the bar" excerpt. Although, if it was really just fun to watch, they should of just had it as something you watched, never had to fight.

It doesn't work because the CD key you used is a retail key, and it's conceivible that someone could go to a store, bust open a package, copy the CD key, go home and download the steam version, no charge. That's most likely why you need the CD in the drive.

I said before I expected HL2 to run better than D3 or Far Cry due to Valve's more reserved use of shaders, and I was right. Not only does HL2 run great but it dosn't look like the whole world is made of leather and plastic. The graphics were very well done, beutiful but not excessive, and the...

having beat the game, I never got a chance to block a door with a piece of furniture. If I had to make the call, I'd say they fell alittle short of what they were promising. But it's not a big deal, combat is still amazingly fun, and who know's, when I play through again on Hard they may be even...

should of tried circuit city ;) ;) took them 20 minutes to gifure out how to sell it to me, but hey! :D

I found the collectors edition at circuit city today. Needless to say I picked it up. ... now I just need to get my 10 bucks back for my preorder at EB :|

Pretty sure Quake 3 just had a CD Key.

My point was if changing the resolution doesn't help than it's probably not your Graphics card.

I don't know what your system specs are, but ever consider your graphics card isn't the bottle neck? i.e. lowering the resolution takes the load off a piece of equipment that wasn't struggling anyways? Alot of people seem to complain about this, and from what I've seen it's been a sub-par...

You have to have Steam and internet connection. Yup Sorry those without a home connection or university students behind a firewall!
