HL2 and Ep1 ported to Orange Box - Games

Replaying it... it kinda sucks. How'd this get 10+ GOTY and so many perfect scores again? And the HDR stretched skies of fail is failure. [img]http://imageshack.dk/imagesfree/Pey74210.jpg[/img] They also messed up some of the water's colours and certain wall normals are messed too. Great work there Valve. Great work. I can't wait until the day Valve starts fixing bugs. That'll be epic. [editline]09:27PM[/editline] Yeah, the multiple Alyx' is a classic bug, just restart the game.

[QUOTE=Ekalektik_1;22185556]So, this means that mods that only worked in EP2 will now work in HL2 and EP1? If so, I can finally use AlexVestin's amazing weapon pack in the other games too![/QUOTE] Could you by any chance give me a link to that weapon pack?

I haven't experienced ANY of the bugs you're talking about.

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;22210319] I know HL2 isn't at the top of their list but they could add some community-made enhancements (not fakefactory stuff of course)[/QUOTE] Be careful what you wish for...

[QUOTE=AntonFTW;22213833]I don't know but it scared the fuck outta me when I first saw GMan, everyone in the game has eyes like that.[/QUOTE] Here's some more pictures of this DirectX 7 eye bug: [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/960458/hl2improvement/dx7-1.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/960458/hl2improvement/dx7-2.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/960458/hl2improvement/dx7-3.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/960458/hl2improvement/dx7-4.png[/IMG] The game crashed in the middle of the roof-escape (the one right before you meet alyx), so I could only get pictures of the ones in the beginning.

Crysis, yo.

[QUOTE=Ogre;22222060]Crysis, yo.[/QUOTE] ...What about it?

Shit's here. In our Orange Box. Messing with our graphics.

[QUOTE=Ogre;22222132]Shit's here. In our Orange Box. Messing with our graphics.[/QUOTE] Uh... Mind speaking English?

Goddamn Crysis graphics invading our Orange Box, man! Don't you see it yet? It's taking ooooveeer... Shit, son, mushrooms everywhere.

[QUOTE=BmB;22218302]Replaying it... it kinda sucks. How'd this get 10+ GOTY and so many perfect scores again?[/quote] Of course it's going to seem stale to you. You probably played it 6 years ago, when it came out. Your 2010 standards of videogames aren't going to make Half-Life 2 seem revolutionary right now.

Well I played Halo again just last year and that's even older, still seemed as awesome as my first encounter. :/ Also apparently there's a bug report thread thingie on the Steam forums. You should report any issues there.

HL2 got the awards it got because at the time it had amazing graphics and a truly engaging storyline that made you want more. It was showing off what DX9 could do, while still being usable by anyone. This update has been fine for me so far, the only bugs I've had are a missing texture in Route Kanal and Mossman getting stuck on the lift down to Elis lab for about a second (stupid bitch).

[QUOTE=ramblingoxen;22212333]am i the only one who doesn't like that if you point your crosshair at the sun, the sun goes away?[/QUOTE] Point a sniper rifle at the sun while looking down the scope and the sun doesn't go away.

I just realised how timeless Half-Life 2 is: [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98177497-4.jpg[/img] [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98177520-4.jpg[/img] [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98177572-4.jpg[/img] [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98177634-4.jpg[/img] [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98177768-4.jpg[/img] [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98177789-4.jpg[/img] [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98177889-4.jpg[/img]

Must play the Half life series again... well maybe i will start at half life 2 :D [editline]01:09AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Dr Bob;22222285] Your 2010 standards of videogames aren't going to make Half-Life 2 seem revolutionary right now.[/QUOTE] hell yeah like gta 4 [IMG]http://blog.mlive.com/geek_guide/2008/05/large_gta%204%20glitch%202.jpg[/IMG]

I dont know, Id say that even by todays standards HL2 still has some pretty nice graphics.

[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;22224142]I dont know, Id say that even by todays standards HL2 still has some pretty nice graphics.[/QUOTE] You play HL2 for the gameplay maaan. As long as the graphics are good enough to see what's going on, you should be happy. But everyone thinks differently, so that's gonna change from person to person. Oh well.

I hope they fix mod differentiation. Mod skins and UI changes still work but the coding problem... It would be awesome to see some of my favorite hl2 mods on the ep2 engine, and working properly.

When I make my server, my friend connects, and then CLIENT TIMED OUT! How do I fix this? Got it working! Put this in launch options : insecure +maxplayers 2 +sv_lan 0 +heartbeat +net_start +map d3_c17_01 But fucking hell, when it loads to a new level, it crashes friends game and disconnects me.

This part of the game, in my opinion, gave out so much atmospheric feeling. The way when you push the swing you hear children laughing and stuff just makes you shudder. [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98177497-4.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Dr Bob;22229497]Don't forget the bit where the children begin screaming, when the Combine came for them.[/QUOTE] Exactly. To be honest, I would have came in my pants if Valve extended the first part of Half Life 2 for longer. Like, you would have to walk down a street and go see what happens right before shit hits the fan.

I love the game now. I can't believe there are people on SPUF bitching they want old HL2 and EP1. Aside from bugs it's really nice improvement. Also I got all achievements. They made me replay the game again and try stuff I would never do.

How do I get the "What Cat?" achievement? How do I break the mini-teleporter?

In ep1 get use the console to get the physcannon and get the one bullet acievement, sv cheats arn't required
