there won't be many people who can help you here i'm afraid with technical issues with hl2 on the xbox because we all have it for the PC...
sorry

 

[Anima]

maby if i give you more info on it or somthing..lol gamefaqs forums people dont help worth crap.

on the PC, what do you press to change weapons?

oh and, on the deault controls for HL2, the up on the dpad is also used to interact, or pick up boxes and stuff. I noticed when i press it to change weapons, it makes the noise as if you had nothing in your retical to pick up. lol

its ok if you guys cant help me. dang.

 

[$kelet0r]

on the pc you use 'q' or the numbers or the mouse wheel

Hmm, that noise must be the 'use' sound. You can use that button to open doors and activate switches, too.

But doesn't an XBOX controller only have like 16 buttons or something?

And are you able to go into control options to change or view the controls?

EDIT : john's post reminds me, have you tried with the analog sticks?

One part of Half-Life 2 I found clumsy is the weapon selection tree mapped to the number buttons. Many times I would hit the wrong number, or hit the right number too many times. The scroll wheel was a good alternative, but during intense fights it was too clumsy. Weapon selection for Half-Life 2 on the Xbox has been reserved for the D-Pad. The trees have been set to each direction on the D-Pad; machine guns are accessed on the right, the pistols on the top to name a few. Switching between weapons with the D-Pad is not only easier, but quicker. Two fast presses on the top brings out Gordon’s Magnum, and you’re dealing out huge amounts of damage. There is never the feeling of “what gun am I getting out?” This is a huge boon for Xbox owners.

...Didn't the game come with an instruction booklet?

 

[Reaktor4]

edit: check your config. if its a bug i guess youre ****ed. reload or start a new game or something.

 

[$kelet0r]

wait on the xbox you must be able to change the controls - don't know how people could play otherwise - so there must be an options menu surely for viewing the control buttons???

 

[Anima]

Haha yes!!

i had too do 2 quick presses. wth? oh and the instruction booklet is crap. Its like 5 pages, and in black in white. Valve a little low on money i sopose?

thanks guys really. Just remember if you get the game, its 2 really quick presses. thats so stupid. lol.

thanks again!!

Ehhhh... us PC users only got a reference guide. One paper with the button configs.

 

[Reaktor4]

Valve knows we are too 1337 for instructions.

Exactly!

Everyone got so caught up in the Xboxness that noone mentioned that THIS IS IN THE WRONG SECTION.

Don't be a cock, he's being polite and nice about it.

 

[Drackard]

Don't be a cock, he's being polite and nice about it.

Just remembering how everyone was saying a couple of weeks back about the xbox boys with hl2 invading the forums.

 

[RaBiD WeAzEL]

I would think that it was left and right on the d-part, instead of up/down...

(Sadly, I almost typed, 'De_Pad)

 

[Drackard]

Aye but its D-Pad not part, either way, i still need to get HL2 for xbox just to see what its like compared to ma pc version, oh the irony of my previous posts :E :cheers: :rolling:
