[Max_Fall]

Ive heard theres dev.comentary on HL2 EP2,how do you turn it on,i want to hear it,and how does it even work??Does HL2 and HL2 EP1 have them??
HELP!!

And i was just wondering,since EP1 had the name AFTERMATH,whats the name of EP2?Im kinda confused

You can switch 'commentary' on by options and then audio.

And 'Aftermath' was the name of the expansion of Half-Life 2 before they started with Episodic Gaming. So, the name of episode 1 is just episode 1. (Thesame counts for episode 2 offcource).

thanks!But what is actualy the dev.comentary?

Just that, developer commentary on the game. Why they did this or how the scene was made or changed during development of the game.

Lost Coast, Episode One, Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2 all have Developer Commentaries. They are similar to a Director Commentary on a DVD. It's basically members of Valve talking about how the game was built, bits they are proud of and points that you should notice.

Episode One had the Working Title of Aftermath and Episode Two had the Working Title of Outlands however neither of these names are actually used anymore and were just working titles. Episode Three probably never even had one.

cool,developers talking in-game how they made it,nice!But does it afect the gameplay?

It's designed to be listened to on a second play through the game. It renders you invincible while they are talking, you can't get achievements and it ruins the immersion the first time playing through.
