It is amazing how poorly this was done. There is absolutely no excuse for not being able to play the game in offline mode. I think Valve made a great game, but I'm so sick of being shit on by Valve with how they treat their fans.

This is bullshit. I thought Microsoft activation was bad, but this is just awful. Thanks for screwing your loyal customers, Valve.

I woke up at 7am(est) this morning and played it for about an hour and a half. Now i'm at work and won't be able to play it for about 8 hours. :(

I setup a CS:S server earlier. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet but you can if you want. I'm still downloading it on my windows box. 216.120.228.235:27015

I think it's time to upgrade the line, Valve. It's close to maxing out on a 60MB patch. Steam will never survive HL2. Here is one of the content servers: http://gallery.brouhaha.com/albums/ruckus_fire/img_3728.jpg

Yep, gotta love it. I'm kickin' at 8k/sec. Only 14 minutes left. This is after it said "ready to play"

It just doesn't seem like anything at Valve goes smoothly. We pre-load the game expecting to be able to play it the second it comes out today, but they spring another patch on us and we can't even get into the game to see what it looks like.

Yes, this is exactly why I pre-ordered a boxed copy of HL2.

These guys are master planners. What was the point in pre-loading the game? It's pretty funny that their system has been disabled by a 60MB patch. They expect to deliver Half-Life 2 through this? Right...

You would think they would design their software so that it would use another content server if the one you are trying was "too busy"

Valve sucks

I don't even feel like upgrading to the 3.9's until I know they are 100% stable. I upgraded to the 3.8's when they came out and it would overheat in just about every game I played. I reverted back to the 3.7's and it works great now. I have a Radeon 9800 btw.

It does kind of suck now that I think of it. My main reason for buying the Radeon was because of HL2 and its release date on Sept 30th. They are saying it won't be coming out until April 2004 now so they will probably have a Radeon 19800 by the time it comes out. :)

I don't think its just your machine. It ran rather poor on my machine(still playable) and I have a good machine: AMD XP 2800+(2GHz) NF7-S Mobo w/Nforce 2 chip 1GB Memory Radeon 9800 Pro

I have finished Freedom Fighters and really liked it. I bought Max Payne 2 the day it came out and just finished it like 2 minutes ago. I think i'm going to try the Savage demo to see what its like. Anyway, I would recommend both games to anyone. -Graham

I have run multiple distributions of *NIX and some are more stable than others. I still think *NIX distros are 100 times more stable than Windows. I run Gentoo Linux at work and I never have to reboot...NEVER! I run FreeBSD on my server and it also never crashes. The only reason I run...

It also seems like they improve some games on the PC. The PC version of Vice City is definitely better than the PS2 version(no loading screens between cities).

It's true. I have an AMD XP 2800+ with 1GB of memory and a Radeon 9800 Pro and it runs like shit even at low resolutions.

I sold my ps2 because I found myself never using it anymore. Just about every good game for ps2 is made for PC anyway.

That is a very informative reply. Thanks for your input.
