Half Life 2 Pre Load Size

[Conkorg]

I was wondering I know its not the whole game. Just models, audio files, textures , small things, etc... How big do you expect HL2 Preload to be?
200 Megs? 400-600? I guess around 400-500

 

[Feath]

Models and audio files are not small things. I'd guess it will be about 1gb of stuff.

But there's no point wondering about it. What difference will it make?

 

[Conkorg]

There is no diffrent. I am just curios of what part of the game will weight Isnt it intresting how much space HL2 parts take up? I am intrested in it.

 

[maximus0402]

yeah audio files, textures, and models will be a HUGE chunck of the game, these are the majority of the space for files. Video files are also big, but since this game has no cut scenes then this will not be the case. I am guessing about 2 GB out of the 3.5 GB the game is suppose to be.

I know it's sceduled for today, but so was the initial CS:S release and it was pushed back. I just hadn't read anything on hl2.net, phl, or steam so I was wondering.

If HL2's Preload would be delayed they would announcent before this day We just have to wait and see lol

I could understand why the CS:S preload was delayed. It was because the Source engine wasn't ready. But why would sounds and textures be delayed?

I would think they would probably have to make some changes to the preload data...there might have to be some changes made to the .gcf files (after the supposed script leak)

That could be one reason..but I wouldnt imagine that would take long to sort out!

That was the CS:S beta, not the Half-Life 2 Cache file.

Yes I know...but maybe they realized that theres bits they have to leave out now - thats what I meant!

Erm, the cache files are going to contain the sounds of the game, spoilers are unavoidable.

LOL..yeah, maybe they are leaving the sounds out...I dont bloody know! Maybe they are all still playing Doom deathmatch and dont really give a rats testicle about pre-loads??

All conjecture I'm afraid!

 

[Xenome]

I guess it's around 4 gig..

And the hl2 that's going to be preloaded to steam in the near future: It will only be textures, sounds, etc, only things that do not change anymore, so it's not the size that hl2 will be with EVERYTHING included.

 

[Conkorg]

4 gigs? Naw I think its too much

 

[genocide604]

Dangling Meat Syntax

 

[wbcheater]

dude the cs:s beta is 366mb but the hl2 upload is only stuff that doesnt change

 

[Conkorg]

its 5:32 PM USA EAST Preload should start in 4/5 Hours here just like CS:S Did I think..

 

[jonnyapps]

gabe's said the final release (as far as he knows) is gonna be on 4 cd's. Work it out from that. All i know is that i'm gonna have most of the game dl'd waiting for gabes maps, engine and decoder and then we're away!

 

[FISKER_Q]

There's a new game on steam. But since the CS: S preload dealy with the CCP it's not possible to see which one it is nor load it

Farcry was 5 cds

 

[Arno]

I guess it's around 4 gig.

LOL.... that's 6 CD's. I don't mind a lot of game content, but 4 GB is a bit too much. I guess it's around 2 GB.

 

[Feath]

The game is 2 gb in total.

 

[Conkorg]

Id say 3 Gigs Total Btw its 6:32 PM USA EAST PreLoad should start in couple of hours
