Re-installed games. Just had time to install HL2 before I went to bed,
left it updating overnight, ready to play off and online. lovely.
A couple of nights installed Battlefield 2, went to play it online and

issue if valve is listening or not to its customers i had this
idea of making a request to valve, so i invite everyone that

All of the family are safe back at home. The destruction was massive and
there wasn't a utility pole between our house and *anywhere* but out
house was fine. The water didn't make it this far and no trees went
through the roof.

I don't play HL2 anymore, and I'd like to put together enough cash to
purchase Battlefield 2.  Would anyone be interested in buying my copy
of HL2?  It was a retail sale from Software etc.  Comes in the orignal
box.  I will transfer my Steam account to you if I need to, I'm not

I'm new to this group, but not to HL1 or 2 here...
Can anyone venture a guess as to what I may try to recover my audio (onboard
Realtek AC'97, ALC850 Codec) that was lost after I had a graphic lockup and
audio loop after playing "Lost Coast" for at least 10min trouble-free on my

I can't get out of the freight yard.  There is a guy in the red railroad car
yelling for me to get him out but I don't know how.  I can't seem to get out
of there.  Will someone help me? Please?
I see no doors.  I tried to use the BIG gun on the flat rail car but can't

I was in the courtyard, minding my own business, trying to fill up the
well;  I managed to get the bicycle, paint cans and some pieces of wood and
even whole planks into it when a Combine on the roof started shooting me.
God knows how long he was up there watching me.  Man, I as ...

My buddy is 60 years old and I am 58. Many years ago we got hooked on
Half-Life. I think it's the best game ever. We had 4 maps we loved. But then
something happened and we haven't played for a long time.
Now I've got DSL while he's still got dial-up. I think one of us has a

reporting service on the website.
Gonna buy a replacement but not liteon.  any recommendations?

I know silly question but are there cheats for playing hl2 online  ???

I downloaded Half-Life 2 demo and find it very good but I was wondering
whether I could play the full game without an Internet connection. It would
be pretty annoying if I can't play on a standalone PC.
Thanks in advance,

I just got round to playing Lost Coast for the first time and I seem to be
immortal in it.  Is it supposed to be like this or is this a bug?

Has anyone downloaded new crosshairs and got them working in HL2?  If so,
how?
I downloaded some from bullseyecrosshairs, unzipped them, then installed
them in the resource directory.  The original crosshairs did not go away.

Hard drive on the computer died.  Reinstalled Steam, via internet.
Purchased Half-Life 2 Silver, via Steam last year.
Now that Steam is installed, and asked name and password, Steam starts up
