Do you have Steam.

How long have you waited before?

 

[abe123]

ive waited for hours. the farthest ive ever gotten to actually playing the game was when you start in that train. and then it froze in the train and thats the end of it i had no other choice but to close it

R-R-Revalidate your files by...

Verify integrity of game cache

1. Load Steam
2. From the My Games tab, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game cache files (GCF's) - this process may take several minutes.
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.

Re-extract the Game Files

Once you have verified the integrity of your game cache files, you can make sure that your extracted game files are correct by navigating to your Steam user directory: ..\Steam\steamapps\[USER NAME]\ and either renaming or deleting your game folder.

Note: If you are playing a Singleplayer game and wish to keep your saved games, rename the game directory.

The next time you run the game, it will re-extract the files from your game cache files. If you wish to restore your saved games, copy the SAVE folder from your old game directory to your new one.

/EDIT You got a firewall? Steam Support is telling me that firewalls are a common cause of game crashes at loading. Add halflife2.exe or whatever it's called directly to the allow list if you have one.

i revalidated my files, allowed half life 2 on my firewall re-extracted the files and still nothing it keeps freezing.

System specs pls...

I was running on a shit comp for a while, the game would freeze as soon as I loaded it up. It'd go to the menu, and my comp was so bad that the CP's wouldn't even walk... till I got a top of the line computer.

If you're running on less than 2.4 ghz you will run into some problems. If you're lower than 2ghz, you need a new processor, or comp. Also, make sure you have a good enough video card to run the game.
