Well, according to the EULA, you are technically not allowed to sell it. But you are allowed to transfer your license to another person, as long as you give them everything (game, manual, CD-Key, all materials, Steam account information) and destroy all data related to the game on your hard...

Yeah good question. You have to get all the way to the top before you can start doing anything.

What I did was move off to one side, and just repeatedly grab energy balls and shoot them at the core as fast as possible. It takes a bunch of hits, since the core has those shield things around it that you have to knock off first. Just ignore the guunships, let them shoot you, and keep firing...

One of the coolest parts of the game was toward the end when you participate in the all-out battles between the Overwatch and the Resistance. Seeing all your followers fight alongside you gave the game a lot of atmosphere, and the big battles made it feel like big events were actually...

My trick for making these games harder is to limit my saving. As in, no quicksaving. HL2 has an autosave feature that saves fairly frequently, so if you wanted to, you could turn that off and play with no saving altogether. I think that without saving, the game feels more "cinematic," since...

Yeah, I think this is ridiculous myself. I would definitely like to see HL:S sold separately. Who can we write to about this?

I can't say this is definitely your problem, but it sounds like some kind of issue with the SecuROM copy protection on the game disc. If SecuROM recognizes a "bad" disc, it will refuse to run the game completely, giving no feedback. Now, you are of course using an original game disc, but some...

I posted this a while ago, but I still haven't seen a good answer to this question. Essentially, I am wondering why Valve/Vivendi (I'm not sure if Valve has anything to do with this issue; it may be a publisher-only thing) decided to put a copy protection on the retail disc (a recent version of...

Yeah, abandonware is another story. Funny how some of it cannot be obtained anywhere, yet it is still considered illegal to download it. You gotta love software EULAs; they're slap-happy fun.

It may run on many graphics cards, but that doesn't mean it will run well on all of them. To me, if I had to run HL2 at 800x600 with all features turned down/off, it would be unacceptable. But that's just an example. Like I said, it may run OK on your machine, but I can't say if it will...

And also more difficult than just deleting the DWORD value, instead of modifying it to "Steam.xxx". Seriously, that's the most messed up way of preventing something from loading that I've ever seen. Just delete it, no modification required,

Hmmm... the only time I ever encountered a problem like this was caused by the CD copy protection. I tried to play the game using a copy of the disc (a backup copy I made from my original disc), but the game didn't like it, and it gave me no feedback, just refused to run. This may not be...

Yeah, I'd say you'd be taking a gamble if you bought this game. It would be better for you to either try out another Source engine game, or upgrade your graphics card.

No, I mean I have no idea how well it will run. It may run well enough to play, but it also could run "like dookie."

I think it will probably work. If you look here, it says that this graphics adapter supports DX9, so it will probably work. However, I cannot vouch for how well it will run.

Do you mean that this is a fix for the audio/video stutter, or is this a different issue you're talking about?

Bought the game, activated it through Steam, and yet I still need the CD in the drive to play??? What about people that downloaded it through Steam instead of bought a retail copy? How do they have to do it? I'm starting to really get pissed at this whole crappy system.
