Heh, I bought the game, so I suppose I should be happy about this. I'm not, however. Imagine this on the front page of halflife2.net instead: "Valve caught 20,000 people stealing HL2 and they have all had their harddrives erased." Obviously that would be illegal, but that's hardly the point. The...
It looks like they "die" just from getting pushed. You have to shoot them 4 times or something with the pistol, but send them flying once with the gravity gun and they're history, even if they don't hit anything. I don't get it.
So what's stopping the warez people from sharing their Steam account with other people? Nothing? Or do you think Valve checks when you login with Steam on a different PC if the game has been downloaded with that account more than X times? So 6 billion people can't use the same Steam login?
First of all, let me say, I think the activation system rules. For too long honest people have been paying for games other people just download illegally. However, I have a couple of questions.
I bought the Silver edition. Does anyone know what the rules for multiple installs are? Can I...
I fixed the DT_BaseAnimating thing, just exit Steam, go into Steam\SteamApps\<your e-mail address here>\ and delete the "counter-strike source beta" folder. Then restart Steam and it will rebuild the folder from your cache. Now simply restart Steam and it works (well, it did here anyway)...
Telling us your score is pointless, because we don't know how good the people you were playing are. If they're CPL material 44-26 is world class and if they're newbies, you obviously are too. Either way, it doesn't really tell us anything. :)
merc: You want me to ask Valve any questions?
Us: Yeah, ask them "this" and "that".
merc: Ok, I'll ask Valve about "this" and "that".
Us: Cool, thanks a lot.
So we wait patiently.
merc: I'm back! I'll go chill in the pool for an hour.
So we wait some more.
Us: About those...
I think you're trying too hard. The first test was to ROT13 the URL and go there using the username and password. "Your cleverness has been noted." Eh, nothing clever about that really, that's in fact very easy (or would have been if we had had the password from the start). Do you really think...
Someone needs to create a "OMG Half-Life 2 released!!!111" thread and then the post should just say "Fooled ya.". The moderators obviously love this misleading-thread-title-stuff.
It's so sad when someone types something intelligent like that and no one seems to notice it, but maybe quoting it will make a few people more read it. :)
I couldn't agree more. What I paid for Half-Life when it came out (actually bought it twice, long story) means NOTHING compared to the thousands of hours I've spent with the game and it's mods. I have no problem buying Half-Life 2 on Steam first and buying the box later, that will also give me...
Well, they'd obviously need to catch up with the other engines first. :)
The other developers could just patch their engines too (lots of games can update themselves). So, why isn't John Carmack busy improving Quake 3 right now? Because he'd rather sell us Doom 3 and Quake 4. What makes you...
