Gordonator SG Finally bought the game. but took me 3 hours to update steam and unlocking Half-life 2 source files before i can finally play the game. half-life 2 require internet connection to set up your steam account in order to play the game. no matter whether u play online or not, u still need to log on to download a lot of files to unlock/play the single player game. even me a boardband user took 3 hours to finsih all the download. i wonder how a 56k modem user is going to cope? gonna play the game tomorrow.
Sagara SG it was said to be a 30MB download .. sucks for the 56Kers.. As for the game, i have to say its definetly the best single-player fps for now... its weapons and gameplay are top notch. i would wish to complete it quickly though.. for some reason it gives me[and many other people] motion sickness. So if you own the game and feel dizzy after playing awhile, u can try this command: sv_cheats 1 fov 90 fov i believe stands for field of vision. HL2's default fov is 70, CS and CS:S has a default fov of 90. i can play longer without wanting to puke now Enjoy the game ! Especially the vehicles
Ahbo1 SG Sg broadband is a fucking joke man…just ask anybody who has used broadband in other developed countrys
nOrmalbOi SG How do u get the console down? is it still by the ` key? coz i noe i pressed mine and nothing came down. I took about 30 mins to download the patch thingy to start playing... And yes... played till wanna puke -.- wonder why X.x gonna go pway tonite after work again i guess
Ahbo1 SG how much is it online?, I bought mine for 70 bucks at tecdrome btw i've been trying to update my steam client all day without any luck...the highest i got was 81% and then it just stood still....anybody can help? i've tried opening ports, disconnecting my router etc but still no go......i'm getting fucking pissed.

Ahbo1 SG how long did it take u to decrypt the files??? tooking me almost the whole farkin day to update the fucking steam client liao....now decrypt files stuck at 20% nb this is the fucking last game i'm buying from valve....steam can suck my cock
Ahbo1 SG eh HL2 already out for dl on BT but the thing i heard is it crashes alot....sommore 7gb download until next year SG broadband sux
Sagara SG u need to go to options to enable console. try these: sv_cheats 1 fov 90 On Vertical Sync too.. helps alot if u get giddy.. especially on the air boat... as for Steam problems, go to their forums.. maybe u could get some help.. i use maxonline 1500, am behind the router.. no need to open any ports to get the game to work
tribbianni SG Think its their counter measure against piracy. furthermore, 5 discs. Even cheong one will cost easily 20 bucks. I also bought mine at cyberactive. took me 2 full hrs before i can start the game. My requirement bearly make it so its bit laggy.
Gordonator SG me too. my com only P III 1Ghz. their requirement is 1.2Ghz, but i still can play the gaem. but loading is kinda slow.
Sagara SG i only took 30 mins max to update and start HL2.. most probably everybody is buying retail so that explains the slow process.. but u guys got the box and stuffs
nOrmalbOi SG sagara:wah lao.... u so fast complete the game oredi? -.- i am still running and mowing down enemies with the air boat man now i play about 1 hour i head grow light tummy start to churn liao.. dunno i need how many 1 hours to complete the game man
Ahbo1 SG eh paiseh....my bad. Anyways heres a link warning against getting a warez version of the game http://halflife2.filefront.com/news/;13907 True or not I dunno but if u value your steam account i'd advice against getting the pirated version
