Just checked it out here at work
Extremely cool stuff, but like 30 minutes into the game theres this place/bug where u can walk behind everything, and just see everything totally nulled off. Ouch!
The first impression was totally shattered after that, hope I wont experience anything like that when I play it at home D:
Anyway work time, but impressions? 
technial issues galore...
first teh specs here at home:
Athon 64 3400+
nvidia 6800ultra
1 gig ram
WinXP SP1
updated drivers
The game plays...then it freezes, the audio skips...and then it unfreezes...then freezes again...then unfreezes...i got as far as where Barney reveals himself like 2 minutes into the game...but it's unplayable
Anyone else having this issues? I'll try it at my office machine tomorrow and report back in.
thanks
My specs:
Athlon 64 3500+
512mb RAM
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Card
160gb hard-drive
and everytime I opened HL2 it plays for a moment and then black screen and freezes 
175 min left! D:
Quote from PhilipK175 min left! D:
Enough time to finish your map 
When trying to unlock the game it says "The steam servers are currently overloaded, please try again a few minutes later"
:roll:

I had the same.. after a few maps it gets better and dissapears. I'm really impressed with what I've seen so far.
it does the same thing that css does.... waits till a sound/physics object/model/whatever is actually heard/moved/seen before it loads it... so when it does, the entire game stops and waits for it for a millisecond.
also the game just crashed when i threw a box at a combine
That's odd. I haven't had any problems whatsoever.
Just played it for like the last 2 hours, brilliant game. I just love the entire feel of it, and Ive had no problems with it at all, no bugs or anything, cant wait to get home and play it there ~~
Please please please please for the love of GOD dont post any spoilers. Can some mod enforce this? Oh god I would be depressed if I accidentally saw a spoiler.
I just get stuck at the loading screen. I have to ctrl-alt-del to get out. I haven't been able to see a menu, much less play it yet.
strat what videocard do u have?
Im gonna get a 6800 gt so u better have it too;)
Radeon 9800XT 256Mb
it is amazing 
So far so good, i just got the grav gun..
no tech problems here, and seems to run better than the css maps, which is nice
just beat it im so amazing

Quote from MazyA guy at work had that too Izuno. Now my steam is updating hl2 so I guess they already popped out an update/bug fix or something, it says that it will take 2 hours before its done though D:
Let's hope i get an update when i get home from work tonight.
As for my office machine (ATI) it seems to be running fine...except i have to get back to work. So far though I think the game is really good.

the menu takes forever to load. its not just an image, its a 3d scene... like from c17
wait it out
