A big penis is too. Having both is a true rarity. You'll probably get a HL2 voucher with the next system you buy - along with a DNF voucher. > A AMD A64 3400+ with an ATI 9800XT to play FarCry on...which runs amazingly > on the highest settings...

In the US, for example, you can find such offers at BestBuy, although every major retailer probably has the same offer. It's labeled right on the box ... http://www.bestbuy.com > > > I get HL and CS and a few others in the meantime to download off STEAM > or > > > sent on CD....I have HL life already but non of the mods.... :o) > > > > You get half-life 1&2 for buying a new graphics card? > > brand\model\price\place bought please Yep you get to have HL and all the mods (I think) for free until HL2 is released and then that offer expires..and you then can only have HL2.... You can get them all (inlc HL2) via Steam or pay a bit for postage and get them on CD.... I am using Steam...I have heard about it on here but only signed up today...it's actually a good idea to start playing after only 5 mins and have the game continue to download while you play... I had baought HL already (but I don't have it with me so I am playing it via Steam)...but now I get to have all the mods etc aswell.... I think however I will want to pay the postage to have a physical copy of HL2....call me old fashioned :op.... > Yep you get to have HL and all the mods (I think) for free until HL2 is > released and then that offer expires..and you then can only have HL2.... Oops...this reads like you can't play them at all after HL2 comes out but obviously you can...you just have to download them b4 it is out!

No - Opposing Force isn't free.. The HL2 voucher is supposed to give you a free subscription to Op4 aswell until HL2 comes out (I don't know whether it gives you Blue Shift though) SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 > > you DO of course realize that _ALL_ (that i everheard of anyways) mods for > > half-life are availible for free to download off the 'net (the retail ones [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > -- > Ben Cottrell AKA Bench right.. my bad.. i guess i always saw those as Expansions, rather than Mods, since they were AFAIK commercial releases rather than fan-based projects from the start. [ot] I personally despise CS-retail, since for some reason quite a few of the younger players have no idea where CS came from, on irc it's a constant fuzz about "CS Cd-key" and so on, rather than "Where do i install cs? in my hl folder?"... That sucks... in real life (or as close as a nerd can come to it anyway) i normally harass people for mentioning that they use CS retail and the likes. [/ot] > right.. my bad.. i guess i always saw those as Expansions, rather than Mods, > since they were AFAIK commercial releases rather than fan-based projects > from the start. Yes, they were commercial releases, but they are still mods.. and function in exactly the same way as all the free ones. > I personally despise CS-retail, since for some reason quite a few of the > younger players have no idea where CS came from, on irc it's a constant fuzz [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > the likes. > [/ot] CS Retail would have been fine if not for the oversight of making the installer program install itself as a totally new game. Installing it to folder seperate from the HL folder seemed to cause alot of unnecessary problems.

Originally a mod for HL, since released as a SP game of it's own Some very nice features/maps/ideas I haven't seen in other mods - Peter |
