|
|
I don't know what you'rre talking about... in the least. |
||||||||
|
|

..always thinking about money.. tsk, tsk.. it will eleviate the serverload when HL2 will actually hit be available for download in (hopefully) a month or so - which practically means you will get to play your new game quicker and more easily. |

wtf is this preload? I'm so confused. |

"it will eleviate the serverload when HL2 will actually hit be available for download in (hopefully) a month or so - which practically means you will get to play your new game quicker and more easily. " think of it as game devs pushing out all the final (static) objects (etc...textures, sounds,what not, stuff that won't change in the final gold code). they push out all this stuff, then when game time comes, they can dish out the rest and the unlock "key" (for better words) and bam, you got the game. without xxxxxx people hammering their servers. simple but basically what it does |

interesting, so how do I go about obtaining this? |

steam website |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
start up Steam, go to the "Play Games" menu and double-click on "Half-Life 2". you'll get the option to start the download. you might need to try a few times over a few hours before a place in line comes free, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I mean the Steam-client, btw. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would but i only have original half life listed and not "half life 2". :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's weird. did your Steam platform not update? it should be under "coming soon". |
||||||||

awesome, turns out I just had to restart steam. I'm at 1% now. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could someone explain |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
preload has started.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does this mean that they're done with the code? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no idea. it probably does mean that the release-date is getting closer and closer.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't even beat doom yet. fucking hell that game is long. i'm starting to wonder if it's not too long. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh don't say that.. elusive will rant all over this thread..! |
||||||||

DOOM 3 should last you around about 25 hours of gameplay when i got my PC, i played it pretty much non-stop and it was around about that long |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i have a date of November 4th (for the UK anyways) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha!.. sorry, i wasn't thinking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
getting realistically closer now..! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm buying it when it comes out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yarr! |
||||||||
|

I so started a topic about this earlier! ] Admittedly called Ahem but still..... USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did see the topic. but then I saw it was by you and called "ahem", so I thought it would be something pornographic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My reputation precedes me :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've just seen the official trailer at half-life2.com the trailer is a bit shit :( but the game is gonna be the bomb |
||||||||

Wrong link.. Althought that one is more fun :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all the videos i've seen have been pretty smokin' hot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the Bugbait demonstration video.. the whole idea is excellent! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Has anyone else played the leaked version? It really gets you hyped for the proper thing. The fact I enjoyed a clearly nowhere near finished game so much more than that one that was released the other month that was a 3rd in a line of games that were Doom filled is saying something. |
