I've watched a few of the videos now, but does anybody else thing the music it plain awful?!!

Esp on the trailer where it starts on the little wooden bridge and ends with the blue tenticle?

Hhhmmmm, denied access to the BlueYonder sites :? . Maybe if I try at home it will be different.

Anyways, I don't know if BlueYonder has this or not but check here:

Half-Life 2 Video (BIG)

But I warn you now, this is ONLY for those on Broadband, its a 500MB :shock: download! But what do you expect for 25mins at DVD quality?

I got that in a few minutes at work (30 in the queue), PC here is too crap to play it though :/

Got ohme at 5ish, 600 odd people in the queue, still waiting when i went to bed :)

Now to find a spare CD-R...

The guys watching over us at work might not take too kindly to 500MB downloads :)

However, having just 'hacked' through the proxy to get back my net access (Someone turned it off) I might be in trouble anyways. But, I'll get it at home where I can watch it with decent screen size and speakers.

Couldn't download the large (500Mb) file last night at all, too many users I think. Managed to get the official video though (16Mb) and although the video quality isn't superb the impression I get is that this game will rock. Definately need to upgrade the PC though.

Just watched it here at work, trill was messing with Quicktime apparently.

It looks amazing, no arguement. I can't wait :)

wow....

just downloaded the big one. this game looks amazing. the strider smashing up the buildings, the zombies walking into the rotating blades. the testing scene with the cctv camera. i cannot wait. might put together a little jar and start saving for a computer that isnt a laptop with no graphics card (which is what i currently have)!

the game actually makes must scifi films look pathetically dated :shock:

Just performing mouth to mouth on this thread.... (caution this post contains spoilers and links to spoilers)

Wow! What a game! The storyline is a bit vague when compared to the first one, but i've found a few sites that fill in (or at least attempt to) the missing bits. http://www.hlfallout.net/articles.php/60/1/ and a few clickys around on there will give you the background.

Also the water effects are simply jaw dropping, i might get round to posting some screen shots later.

Favourite bit was when the helicopter was chasing me in the air boat! With the music going and bombs going off to the left and right of me, i was grinning like the Cheshsire Cat!

Incedentally, if anyone doubts the power of the HL2 engine then check this music video out with the G man as the lead singer (also contains spoilers)! http://www.machinima.org/paul_blog/2005/03...een-take-3.html

You only just played it mate???? ;) What you think ??? better than doom 3??? Now that I finished it I cant be bothered playing it again. might have to find a trainer tool so I can go through my favourate levels again :D

Yes i have only just played it. I've been busy with uni work since it came out. Got my finals out of the way and purchased this; good thing is it's down in price to about £12 now!

I don't think you need a trainer. If you start a new game you can start on any of the chapters! You can also use cheats if needs be to level skip.

Better than D3 without a doubt. D3 is a one trick pony "oh look another scary dark corridor, i wonder what's going to happen down there?(!)". D3 is still v good though, HL2 just pips it though.
