Re: Half-Life 2 Review
 

I've tried with the gravity gun and you can't but I'm gonna wait for a mod that can let me pick up just about anything with it. it can pickup alot of stuff but not things like cars or semi trailers.

Re: Half-Life 2 Review
 

I've run into an irritating problem (well, more like an annoyance of sorts)... Not having to do with the game itself, I guess...

When I pump up the graphics a bit, the game runs perfectly smooth 99% of the time... The only thing is, when something sudden happens such as me turning around quickly to reveal a new something-or-other, an enemy popping out, or me shooting my gun after not having shot it for awhile, the game pauses for a split second and the audio loops, which is extremely annoying... So I have to dumb down the overall settings of the game just for those instances...

It makes me cry...

Other people are having the issue also. I've heard that lowering the sound quality a smidge can help without a noticeable loss in it and someone else mentioned that if you enable the console (options>keyboard>advanced>developers tool (i think thats the name) check that), bring it up with the ~ and type cl_rate 25000. I'm about to try it as I have the same issue here and there

Re: Half-Life 2 Review
 

thats odd, cuz in the demo they showed at E3 last year or the year before, they picked up a dead body by the guys foot and dragged him against the table.

but then again, the gravity gun looked different then too. it shot a beam out and grabed things. perhaps an upgrade later in the game? OR perhaps something they just never put in the game. interesting tho.


Anyone know a command to change crosshair colors?

Re: Half-Life 2 Review
 

Yea same issue for me, as I said in the other thread. My only complaint so far though. Absolutley stunning game. The characters get me...they're so realistic, you really feel connected to them more than in other games because of it...

Re: Half-Life 2 Review
 

I know this is possibly the stupidest question asked, but meh.

So what about the multiplayer? Are their new Multi-games? Are the games such as CS and DoD revamped, such as graphics and gameplay?

Can someone please answer this, and If there are new things like this please post.

Thank you.

Well, right now I can grab most things (except bodies and very large things) but I can shoot a beam of energy stuff at cars and whatnot. But a simple mod could make it so you can lift everything that you can shoot.

Re: Half-Life 2 Review
 

You're confusing the gravity gun and the physics gun. The beta has both, perhaps the full game does as well. The physics gun will pick up anything and you can drag it around, push it out far, pull it towards you. And it's power was limited to a certain weight so if you tried to lift something very heavy you had to grab it and look straight up in the air and the "beam" would bend and may or may not pick up the item.

The gravity gun picks up stuff like barrels and lets you shoot them.

I can hardly wait to pick up this game as soon as I order my new graphics card.

There is a DoD:Source but it hasn't been released yet (still in Coming Soon but its being done). CS:Source is the current multi but there will be Half Life 2 Deathmatch mod's, etc.. coming shortly. And Valve is supposed to be making a surprise or something like that, announcement about HL2 in the coming days so it may be an official DM mode for HL2 but no one is sure yet.
