Half-Life 2 Discussion

[gamefreak14]

the staem hack was released on 16th itself. There are a couple of problems like AI shutting down itself, but the cracks right now are not n00b friendly. Anywaya, valve got what it wanted...read some dude saying that this was the first game he bought in 8 years!

 

[gxsaurav]

well, valve has closed & canned 20k steam accounts which were doing warez

Whats the use, it needs a key, ok, so a keymaker will be out, which U can use to install the game, & then simple activate it, the key is legit so U can play the single player HL2

& who plays the CS online, it needa a fast internet conneection, which many lack,

a review of HL2 the game, not the software HL2

Troubles don't end even with Legal purchase!!

Hi guys!

Its great to see the ongoing discussion about HL2. Thought to give my 2 cents.

I saw full page ad in this month's CHIP about HL2 and I was like w00t! Finally, the retail game is here in Indian stores!! I immediately made inquiry about the price and thought 1500 is decent enough for a game like HL2.

Then I went ahead and started to read about STEAM. Man, the trend is generally negative all over. Its a thing like being pushing down throat and in the current form its take it or leave it. However, my real concern is something else...

One would think buying retail version and activating it thru STEAM means all troubles over and you can happily play in "Offline mode"...but no! After reading some FAQ's over at STEAM forum, I came to realize that there wee some unfortunate players who could still not validate their CD-Key because apparently some hacker already used it!! If my CD-Key was happened to be the same "randomly" generated by some key generators, then I am doomed! I would get a message that my key is already in use and
then I won' be able to play the game even if I have paid fully!!!! Can it suck any more than this? Of course then I have to send photo copies of my box version and CD-Key and purchase receipt et al to Vivendi Universal before they issue me new Key!!!! phew.

So I am in actually in two minds about this...while mostly I *WILL* buy the game, there is this constant apprehension until my account gets activated and I see the Title screen!

I would like to know has anyone actually bought the Retail version yet and share the experience here…

Thanx.

1500/- is a good price as my bro in uk said that hl2 there costs 4000/-
so the prices r choppped down as per the indian market, thx it is not the price we get by the direct '$' or 'pound to Rupee' conversion as in case of GFX cards available in India.

still the price is out of reach and too high for a hardcore gamer who playes every second game available in the market. these prices need to get low further.

I got Half-Life 2 too!!!

It's really an amazing game when it come to graphics and speed...

I play it with 1024x768 2xQAA 2xAF and everything to highest on my old GeForce4 MX4000 ... and it works like a charm (above 35 fps)...

Great work done by the Valve guys....

[suhas_sm]

Where can HL2 be oredered so that i can get through courier

 

[funkymonkey]

well I finally completed HL2 and I am gona start all over again.
This was great game. Great graphics and played amazingly well at 1600x1200 with 4XAA and 8XAF with all details set to high and water set to reflect all.
It was really amazing experience.
It took me while to complete some stages as I was playing on Hard mode from the start itself.
Rs.1499 totally vasool.
Now I am addicted to HL2 deathmatch. Freaking addictive and fun multiplayer. got 134 using only gravity gun. lol.
