Half-life 2 fans?

Here is another cool mod for HL2

http://www.zombiemaster.org/index.php
:bravo:

 

[marnold]

It's a "mod" because what they created a new gametype, maps, characters, etc. Most everything else was reused, e.g., network code, collision detection, graphics subsystems, physics, etc. Companies don't release all of the source code. They release an SDK so that modders can build on what is already there.

id Software eventually does release all of the code for their engines under the GPL.

Alright you HL2 players I'm stuck...

I'm in 'Low Life" in the parking structure where there are 3 hives/holes that I have to put cars in to stop those damn spider things. Remember this one? One car is on the bottom level and another on the 2nd and the last one is behind a locked cage on the 3rd. I can get 2 cars on the holes with the gravity gun but I keep getting attacked when I try to open that damn stupid slow turning wheel to open the gate on the top level. When it's almost about to open completely a stupid spider thing is on my back and Alyx can't kill them fast enough for them to leave me alone to open the stupid gate. When I try to run up to the top level to do that first Alyx gets killed below trying to fight off the spider things.

:flamemad:

What is the best method of putting all the cars into the holes and surviving???

 

[marnold]

You've got to get all three cars over the holes ASAP, otherwise you'll never get the door open. When I did it I just had to concern myself with me, not Alyx.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Getting 2 cars over the holes is easy. I think there is something that I'm not doing right. I keep getting swiped at the wheel that opens a gate where there are 2 medical things and I don't think that's the right gate I'm supposed to open? Am I missing another gate that opens the last car?

From Wikicheats:

SPOILER WARNING!










To get to the third car, head up to the third level. It's located above the entrance you came in. Use the beams above the center of the room to get there. If you lose Alyx along the way, don't worry because she'll meet up with you before you leave. You'll have to jump down into the room with the car. There is a Zombine there. He often blows himself up with a grenade, so stay away from him and use the shotgun.

Turn the wheel you see here to open the gate. Push car over the edge and into the Antlion hole.

Yes! Thanks to you pastor for the tip I finally did it.

Those stupid spider thingies anyway....

I finally made it outside the parking structure (why didn't someone tell me it was going to be dark and creepy!) My best laugh of the day was when we emerged into the level with the elevator to make our escape and Alyx starts to make a Zombine sound behind me...then giggles and says "gotcha". That dang $#&*$ hahahahaha That was a good one though and I'm finally outta that bad bad place. :thwap:

My favorite part of Episode 1 was after you get to a safe house when you've been listening to the scientist's broadcast. Alyx said something to the effect of, "Did he really just encourage people to get busy?"

Gotta love those little comments. I had a hard time killing (and trying to stay away from) the monster in the street. I lucked out and got rammed up to the balcony that Alyx was firing from so I didn't sustain any more attacks and between the two of us we finally killed that thing. So if anyone else can't get past that point...try to get rammed up that ledge.

Sounds like you are having a lot of fun with HL2!
I really need to buy the orange box for my X360!

Yeah this is pretty cool stuff. I'm almost done with Episode 1. I started E2 the other day but just played it a little to make sure it worked. I'm gonna pick out a few more games soon too. I love PC gaming.

 

[Robert]

It's a pretty addictive game, isn't it Tone? I love Half-Life 2. I don't understand how you can be almost done it already! You must have spent a lot of time with it. Bet your guitars are getting dusty.

You really need to get Gears of War! Nothing like berzerking the enemy with a chainsaw!

Could have used that chainsaw on the street monster in HL2! :saw:

 

[Robert]

I just finished Half-Life 2! What a sweet game. I guess it's Orange Box next.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

How long did it take you to finish it? I don't go through levels really fast but I do play it everyday. Some kids say Episode 1 is short and say you can do it in a couple of hours. HA! Yeah right if you're a kid or something you could. I just blasted the gunship in E1 so that's where I'm at now.

 

[Robert]

Well, for me it took months! It's a HUGE game, in my experience.

Where are you at in the game, what is the level called?

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Blasted the gunship at the top of that building on Urban Fight. Now I joined up with the rest of the gang in the square near the big blue blocked off tunnel...level Exit 17.

 

[Robert]

We have different games then. I don't know what yours is but my game is Half Life 2: Episode Pack which has both Episode 1 and 2. I'm almost done with Episode one which had these levels...

1: Undue Alarm

2: Direct intervention

3: Lowlife

4: Urban Fight

5: Exit 17


Episode 2 which I'm almost about to start has these levels...

1: To The White Forest

2: This Vortal Coil

3: Freeman Pontifex

4: Riding Shotgun

5: Under The Radar

6: Our Mutual Friend

7: T-Minus One

My game case looks like this...

After doing a Wiki search you have Half Life 2 stand alone. It's an entirely different game. Go to the link and read the expansions and modifications paragraph to see the timeline in the games and how they differ.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2

 

[marnold]

In the game chronology:
Half-Life 2 is first
Then Episode 1
Then Episode 2

Technically, the original Half-Life predates them all. The Orange Box is not a game per se, it is a compilation of HL2, Episodes 1 & 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Well now Half Life 2 Episode 2 crashes when I try to play it. I've updated video drivers, changed video settings, defragged computer, defragged game cache, validated game integrity etc. etc. and it still don't work. Episode 1 and Lost Coast work perfectly but I notice they're using the same engine (Havoc) while Episode 2 is using "Source".

 

[Robert]

You need Xbox 360.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

You need Xbox 360.

Well that doesn't help!

:saw:

 

[Robert]

It would help, if you had one, wouldn't it!
oke:

So you played your version of HL2 on X-Box then? I thought you played it on a PC? BTW how is your Macbook Pro doing? You can run Windows XP on it right?

 

[Robert]

I run HL2 on the Xbox 360 yes. No PC gaming for me. Stopped doing that about 11 years ago...

The MacBook Pro is doing DANDY! It's a little power horse of beauty and elegance. I have no desire to put XP on it (why infect the Mac with crapware?), but it is possible, yes.

Well you have to run XP if you want to use the computer on a network run with PC integration or whatever the frik you wanna call it. The business and work worlds still run on PCs. You mac people need to understand that! Your little specialized group and your aires about how absolutely perfect macs are UGH it just makes...me...sick sick sick!




(waits for the fun posting to resume again it's too quiet around here)

:rotflmao:

 

[Robert]

Well you know...

 

[Tone2TheBone]

.....and those mac commercials UGH they're the worst!!!

LMAO
