HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

I have it, i played it. First impressions:

- the controls are not easy (they kinda suck!)
- it is not easy (well thats not bad!)

- it looks neat! (cool gfx)
- it has the 'manipulator' lol
- it has the original HL sounds

Conclusion: I MUST HAVE HL 2!!!

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

I guess you want to tell us that there is a HL2 demo out there ?

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

nooo. not a demo. A full game. Get it via steam.

or get a non-steam version at http://www.halflife2.net

(2nd or 3rd news post has a link)

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

yep every hl fan should get this...it's a 2d game of halflife (not hl2)

its called codename: Gordon

i love the gfx n the sounds :D

but the controlls suck bad ..they should change it to let u use keyboard only or key n mouse.:)

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

played it.. but.. i kinda didnt like it.. as stated before.. bad controlls.. i came to the broken bridge.. spent a few seconds thinkin.. can i jump over this or what.. treid, died turned off.. yeah.. i still got it.. maybe if am really bored..

and that lagg!

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

hehe exactly the same thing i did.....at the exact same place...8o

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

Agreed the controls suck the game sucks and it Valve should have nothing to do with them

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

lol, Steam finally finished downloading it :D
gotta try it out rit' now

*edit*
how on Earth do you jump over that stupid bridge ?

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

lol PMB Thats what I thought at first..
But you actually go a different way..

That is wrong..
It IS HL2...
manipulator..
HL2 police guys..
HL2 zombies..
HL2 car...
HL2 plane..

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

now that i think of it i guess ur right.....thanks for the bridge tip no i can actually go play it :) rather than wp ;)

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

I was suprised how cool the gfx came out...
That'll be great for passing time during trips, etc.

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

daaaaaah :cries:

I passed the bridge and I met Alyx and I made it to the scientist with the weird gun and I took it and now I'm blocked here and I can't seem to be able to use that manipulacrap properly!!! :cries:

how do you make this stupid obstacle go away ?

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

PMB you can jump over them...
and btw you should head back first..
you can hold objects through the different places :D
grab that metal heater and take it with you to throw at those guys :D

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

i ended up somewhere outside, chapter 2 or something. I had all the guns already! :S Anyway, the gameplay sucks yes. Its pitty because the concept (HL in 2D) is not bad at all!

btw, i tried to make my own CS 2D once, using RA gfx. You had a buy menu, a guy to walk with ( you would see it from top, like RA, doh!) and you could shoot other guys. It also had bots, and they walked pretty well from place to place, anyway... that gameplay equals this game imo! :D

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

Pull the things under them out with the manipulator and they will fall on the bad guys.

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

really?
wow i didn't know that :D

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

Argh. I died here. Stupidly.

First time frying on an electric barrier and 2nd time falling in the pit. :'''(
It's a pity cause I think I was close to the end... level 6... and there was the gman just before... crapcrapcrap.

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

yea thats the final boss then the game is over and you see the credits :D

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

im probably a sped, but i cant find the link to the actual download of the game. can someone give me a direct link? thanks

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

It really doesn't perform well on my PC. I think I need an upgrade... 1.3 ghz just doesn't cut it anymore I guess.

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

lol, that screenies dont like like the game needs 1.3 ghz :D

but valve's always good for a surprise

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

even my 2.0Ghz with 512MB RAM lags sometimes...
sometimes my mouse freezes for about a second and it's sometimes fatal :(

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

lags my computer

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

i use two screens.. and that kinda screws things up when my mouse leave the main screen..

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

it runs in flash or something, which is not as fast as just writing a shooter/platformer in pure C/C++. I have written some platformer games myself (even an RTS game) and i get better performance on them compared to this HL 2D game.

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

yea it's all in flash.. or was it shockwave...
look at activision's site it says it somewhere there..

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

either way, its bloatware imo...

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

its flash.. i should know.

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

Yes, this game IS Flash. It should be better if they made it with native code.

btw, you don't need steam to run this game. after downloading it with Steam, you can just backup all the files in your "c:\program files \steam\steamapps\your@email.com\codename gordon" folder with CDRW.
and if your computer is slow don't even think on playing this game :D

Re: HL 2D! - Codename Gordon
 

lol, it does wicked bad on my computer, but i play it on my school comp and it works great :) pretty decent computers here. nice school wide wireless T1 connection...nice. who does school work at school newayz? :)
