I'm not suprised considering a ton of things in HL2 are DirectX only. In a bunch of interviews they said that DirectX makes it easy to do this and that.

You could play Half-Life in OpenGL so I'm assuming they will make HL2 playable in OpenGL also. Maybe not though :(

Porting the opengl version wouldn't be that hard would it? I would think the DX version would be a bitch though.

Stupid enough to visit shady websites? It is not very hard when you are doing a search on google. You can click a link and that "shady website" can install an activeX hack on your machine.

Here is the article about how unsafe IE is: http://www.zdnet.com.au/newstech/security/story/0,2000048600,20279477,00.htm

It makes sense. You can install Linux for free and you don't have to buy a whole new computer to try it out. With a Mac you have to buy an overpriced shiny piece of plastic and you also have to pay for the OS X license. People who just want to give Linux a try can download and burn Knoppix...

Before every little child flames this thread please be aware that this is not an official notice from Valve. It is a notice from EB Games who has always been pretty decent with release dates. I am not saying that the game is definitely coming this day but I thought I would just share this...

It isn't possible and if you really knew the facts, you would agree also. This is the exact same reason people still trade music on-line. You can go around and report all the sites you want but you can't get rid of it. You can barely put a dent in the file sharing problem(even when...

Valve going after the downloaders is only a waste of time. You will not accomplish anything but pissing off your fans. I would say that just about everyone that downloads the hl2 beta is a huge fan of Valve/Half-Life series or else they would not spend the time to download the huge file. I'm...
