Half-Life 2 *Retail* (c) Valve/Sierra

Release Notes:

From the group that brought Counter-Strike: Condition Zero to your pc,
Vengeance is proud to present Half-Life 2.

By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and
adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the
door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him,
from the physical environment to the behaviors -- even the emotions -- of
both friends and enemies.

The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon
Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the
bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust
into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed
back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people -- people he cares about -- are
counting on him.

Characters - Advanced facial animation system delivers the most
sophisticated in-game characters ever seen. With 40 distinct facial
"muscles," human characters convey the full array of human emotion, and
respond to the player with fluidity and intelligence.

Physics - From pebbles to water to 2-ton trucks respond as expected, as
they obey the laws of mass, friction, gravity, and buoyancy.

Graphics - Source's shader-based renderer, like the one used at Pixar to
create movies such as Toy Story and Monster's, Inc., creates the most
beautiful and realistic environments ever seen in a video game.

AI - Neither friends nor enemies charge blindly into the fray. They can
assess threats, navigate tricky terrain, and fashion weapons from whatever
is at hand.

Install Notes:

1. Unpack the release with WinRAR or equivalent
2. Burn with Nero Burning ROM, CDRWin or equivalent.
3. Install the game.
4. Use our fully automated installer found in the /VENGEANCE/ directory
on CD5, hl2install.exe, to apply all necessary cracks and make the
needed shortcuts on your desktop.
5. Play by double clicking the "Half-Life 2" shortcut found on your
desktop.

*NOTES*

At last a 100% functional and automated retail release of the most
anticipated sequel in PC games history.

As you have been struggling with the 101 fixes for the EMPORiO releases
of this fantastic game, we have been working diligently to bring you
this quality release which is deserved for a title of such magnitude.

Not only does this version work, it works FASTER, giving you a much
better gameplay experience. Through a custom built Steam emulator,
Vengeance allows you to play Half-Life 2 the way it is meant to be
played. Files are directly streamed from the Valve Game Cache Files (GCF),
allowing any Source Engine game to be played identical to the official
Valve Steam Client. This means that you don't need to run Steam to play.

You can expect much shorter loading times and much smoother gameplay,
without the need to tweak config files or to mess around with the AI Node
Graph Rebuilds. Oh and did we mention, you dont have to extract 30,000+
fragmented files to play?

With patience and due time, we have recreated the installation CABs with
the decrypted GCF files (resulting in smaller CD sizes) and modified the
original installer to recognize the new CABs to allow for a fully
autmoated installation. Combined with our hl2install to apply the cracks,
extract the minimal essential game files and create the necessary
shortcuts, Vengeance has finally brought to you a no-hassle, no-bullshit,
fully working and unprecedented release of Half-Life 2.

*NOTE*

Online play has been disabled, so buy this excellent title if you want to
play online. Valve deserves it.

I am 73% addicted to Counterstrike. What about you?

Wow I need to look for this release...

Sweet...........

5cd's

I'm not shocked really , but would rather have it on 3 like Thal's release

I wil hang out for all the fixes and apply them to cd3 , job done.

Or if someone comes out with a *proper* dvd version then thats the way to go

Did this release fix the overlapping problem?
If not, this should be nuked.
Somebody confirm that plz.

Can someone host just their crack? I've already got the retail DVD and dont want to have to download it again...

Here's the files you asked for from their release..

http://s15.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=9408 ... FD7B093E56

frig, are you telling me you can run the gcfs exactly the same as steam does? If so yeeeeesssss. This is brilliant. This topic needs a sticky.
This is what I have been thinking about getting working for a while now. I always thought the best way to run it was straight off the gcfs but we needed a program to run it.
You've done it, yeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Can you enable online play though, because for us that bought it and had their accounts disabled.

Those files on yousendit. How do you actually make them work to play the game.
Edit: don't worry, put in folder and run hl2install.exe

Edit again: it would fix all errors, the game was designed to be run off the gcfs. The gcfs mount as a filesystem. The only reason there are errors is because the game isn't running with the gcf filesystem. So now that it is running straight from the gcfs. It will work.

i just made a patch based off the vengeance crack. This is for the people without the gcf files and only have a release such as the ahu or emporio release. It will be up soon

but that won't work. You need the gcfs. It pretends to be steam and plays it like it should be. This is the answer to everything.

heh thats what i thought till i tried it. it fixes even the save bug. All the dates are correct as well now.

so it works. That's good, as long as you tried it. I just realised it would. Because third party mods are the full game, and hl:s runs as a third party mod from a steam install, so it must think it's still the gcfs or whatever and it sorts itself out and does it right. So it still works.

this is brilliant. Sticky, sticky sticky. This is awesome. Of course it fixes all errors because it runs as steam does. The way it's made to. I'm so excited, I thought no one would ever do it. But they have. Yeeeehaaaaaaa.
