I had the same problem, and it didn't help to lower the settings. But suddenly, the framerate raised to normal again and I could play at the usual 1024*768 with everything on high and 6*AA and 16*AF. So just keep playing, and it will probably fix itself.
My specs are
p4 3.2 ghz
1024 MB ram
ati radeon 9800
and I run Half-Life 2 in 1024*768 with everything on high, 6*AA and 16*AF with fully playable framerates
1166 Counter-Strike players only uses around 10 Mbit/s, so you can play online with almost any connection. It isn't the bandwidth that makes 56K unplayable, it's the slow response time.
We have the citadel here in Malmö, just look at this:

It's about 168 meters high(about 560 foot) which compared to everything else in the area is extremly high. The nature around malmö is prett similiar to city 17 too...
Aah, the guard that drops a can and asks you to pick it up, mayby? Pick up the can using E and throw it in the trashbin. Or, throw the can at the guard, run in a circle and get around him.
You use turrets at three times during that chapter, first there are only 2 turrets, the second time you use 3 and I can't remember how many there was the third time.
Of course there will be Half-Life 3, but I don't think you will play as any other than gordon, other than in expansion packs like opposing force and blue shift.
I really liked her. I don't know if I want her to be dead or not. If G-man didn't ''save'' her she must be dead. Even if she survived the explosion itself she must have been thrown of the roof. Otherwise she must have been killed my combine soldiers.
press the use key and then flip around with the mouse. The key so survive is to put the turrets in a tight circle in the middle of the room you fin them in. then hide yourself in the shelter where you grabed them and be ready with the gravity gun. DO NOT PUT BARRELS OR CRATES as barricades!
I was playing the coast map when I suddenly found this:
