uninstall hl2?

[JiMbOb]

Simple question i have searched but to no prevail.


Can i uninstall HL2 and still be able to play counterstrike:source?
Like wise what is needed to play cs:s as thats all i play nowadays so i would like to unistall all the other games that are not needed to play it.

I belive so, go to the properties of HL2 in Steam and select "Delete game content"

Now wait a minute...he ain't hurting no body...

NO i wanna know something...aint ya HD big enough to contain the mighty balls of HL2? Cs Source is a poor game, how could you, at least keep HL2DM.

ive played through hl2 twice i think ive got my moneys worth and hl2dm is just too slow paced for me. anyway thanks for the quick reply but are you sure i dont want to be installing it all again?

 

[G-Dub]

if you need the space, uninstall whatever you don't need...

if you can afford to keep it on there, keep it on there... simple

thats what i want to know becuse i believe u need halflife for 1.6 but do u need hl2 installed to play cs:s?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Yeah what he said above will sort it. As long as you don't delete the Counter Strike Source game content files, by right clicking source and deleting that you'll be fine.

edit: you need the source engine files etc, to run source, but not the half life game files e.g. the models and maps. steam will only delete those not needed

So counterstrike is now more fast pace than DM game, interesting!

 

[Lucid]

Wow, You guys are hostile against CS:S players and HL2 uninstallers aren't you?

 

[JiMbOb]

i meant hl2dm is too fast :S

ROFL thanks for the good laugh

What about the mods... I would think at least some of them may require HL2 model files & things..

THINK ABOUT THE MODS!!

whoops missed that.

HL2 DM kicks CS Source's ass EVERY time...never before have I had such an intense adrenaline rush as every time I hear...

FFFFTHINK! (crossbow bolt for the n00bs among us)

HL2DM is just a one-hit-kill spamfest. Be it radiators, crossbows, revolvers, combine balls or rocket launchers theres always someone that comes around the corner with said weapons and one-shots you. I find it gets quite boring after awhile... :hmph:

Now CS:S has its flaws (auto-sniper) but other than that I think its generally alot more fun as it actually requires more than "see person -> aim in general direction -> win".

As for the topic in hand, I have no idea.

Have you ever played HL2DM with more than 3 other people?

thats debateable

You can catch radiators (if you're quick enough) , you can avoid crossbow bolts (as long as you keep your dodging reasonable random), combine balls can be dodged OR caught (albeit needing cat like reflexes) and rockets are no good at real close range, you just can't guide them into the person you want to kill, if he's stood right next to you, without creaming yourself. Revolvers are the only thing that should REALLY concern you. Again, you need to learn to dodgerun and keep it reasonably random. It's much harder to achieve AND maintain a good kill/death ratio.

In DM you don't get a chance to breath as you respawn immediately, so you can exact your revenge. In CS Source, you die stupidly and you're stuck waiting for 10 minutes at a time sometimes.

If I just wanted to stare at a screen, I'd go downstairs and watch T.V.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make, is DM is a quick fix adrenaline hit that can actually make you feel knackered even though you aren't moving around.

If i want mods i only need the sourcemods folder correct? in which case i need all the source files that arnt included in halflife2's actualy file.

 

[Jintor]

Ein bow to The_Wookies will. He's right about DM.

 

[Dinkleberry]

Hey Danimal, I vote you president. You answered a question I posted here a while back, but got no reply.

just get a mod, if it needs anything (hl2 or hl2:dm resources)
steam will download/install it automaticly, it rocks!

Well you might want to hold off on removing HL2 for a bit, I think Sierra are going to be releasing a mission or somthing to that nature where you can download it free from steam, it's going to show you some of their new lighting technology.

*VALVe is going to be releasing some new content for HL2 singleplayer, that will be free for everyone that OWNS HL2 via steam, it will show off HDR technology, but you can disable it if your gfx card cannot take it I hear.
