for some reason half life2 gives me headaches while playing. no other FPS game does that for some reason. the frame rate is high (50fps+ on a radeon x800) with a 16ms response time LCD.

i suppose its a good thing because it prevents addiction and over playing.

we need to setup a formal way to help with the puzzles. i keep getting stuck at different places.

I find the game making me queasy too, reading the HL2 steam forum lots of other people are getting headaches or feeling sick also.
Same here

Actually puked into the toilet cause of this game, which was a first.

Shoot downthe helicopter with the gun on the hover boat, and then climb up the long ladder on the dam to the very left. You should be able to take over from there.

But I don't have a gun on the hoverboat!!! Where did I miss that?
 
On Hard:

Enemies take more hits to kill
Enemies hits take more
Enemies seem to have stronger reflexes after spotting you
I think Enemies might hide more and run at you less
There are more enemies
They have better accuracy
 
I swear, people don't know how to play a good game, especially HL2. Go everywhere you can in the game if you're stuck.If something doesn't work try something else. If that doesn't work then keep trying something different.

You must be at a different area than I originally suspected, in which case, you're nowhere near the end.

Perhaps a screenshot of your location would help.

My jaw dropped when Alyx's dog pwned the combines with its acrobatic skills :Q

Same here... the Dog sequences were great to watch. Not only did they look awesome, but they were truely entertaining. Pretty amazing for a video game.

It thought I was the only one! I had a real uncomfortable time driving the hovercraft. Maybe all the spinning and fast moving craft is the cause
 
Now that was a cool feature with the crossbow: Impaled

Evolution a la Half-life 2

Well I thougth that was some nice details. Another fun thing happened when I was messing around with the grav. gun and one of the soldiers threw a grenade at me..... I catched it in mid air and threw it back at him...... that is quality entertainment 😀

I love catching the Manhacks and using them as chainsaws. Fun fun.

Under advance video options, what's the difference between "Reflect world" & "Reflect all"?

Reflect all also reflects moving parts like charachters, vehicles, barrels etc.
