HL2 Release!!!

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

I wonder how object physics are synchronized in a multiplayer game over the network. Maybe you just won't be able to do such things in a multiplayer mod...

[HangFire]

In CS:S its handled allright. All physics objects move as they should, except for when a player touches one, the player gets bounced away.

actually of what i heard they can do all that.. but in multiplayer there is server side and client side physics..

client side.. visual stuff that dont affect players..
server side.. all other stuff that do affect you and other players.. like flying barrels..

and also.. the ping will be no problem if it was no problem with hl.. its better now and then..

I'll wait for the DVD version... I have better things to do with my bandwidth than downloading HL2...

[edit]Wee, HL2 was released here 8 hours ago AND I WAS AWAKEN TO SEE IT! The benefits of living in GMT -3...[/edit]

[edit2]Here in Brazil, HL2 is costing R$99.90 (retail), about US$36...[/edit2]

[edit3]Wait... We're on Daylight Saving Time, so +1 hour = GMT -2 !! So HL2 was released actually 7 hours ago from the first edit (about 32min ago...)[/edit3]

I was curious if you had to activate HL2 over the internet with a cd-key in order to play it or do you just simply have to type in a cd-key when installing? I'm posting this at school, my internet at home is down and I don't wanna torture myself with buying it, and not being able to play it if required to do something on the net. Please inform me! And also is it a dvd or cd?

I get mine in a couple weeks, can't wait!

Personally i don't know why anybody would buy it off Steam. It's a ripoff, i'd rather have the Physical copy of the CD i payed for, just in case something goes sour and i need to re-install or something. I see the convienence in it, but i mean is it really that damn hard to drive to the store to buy a copy? (that statement doesn't apply to people who live in the boonies or the desert or somewhere secluded of course)

when you buy HL2 in the store does it come with CS:S? cause on steam you can get HL2 with CS:S for 50 bucks and thats the same as the store, and you never have to worry about the CD breaking or loosing it

Heyyo,

Letme shed some light on why grav guns don't pickup dead bodies: it's only supposed to work with metallic objects. Sure, those guys wear some kindof metallic armor... but whatever.

Yeah, apparently HL2 ships without even HL2DM, is that true?
