Half-Life 2: Episode 2 - Freeman Pontifex [1/4]

[FibrousAcquiescence]

Fuck sake, stupid game glitched on me and if I restart the level now I won't be able to get the gnome achievement. -_____-

[FibrousAcquiescence]

Not even funny. I missed the grub achievement by two grubs after playing the level with no sound on my first playthrough, got it the second time and took the gnome with me and now there's a bug in this level where Alyxx and the vortigaunt thing won't follow me to the lift.

[GordonFreeman9012]

What does Pontifex mean?

[blackkobra94]

@GordonFreeman9012

It's Latin for Priest and Bridge Builder.

[GordonFreeman9012]

What does PONTIFEX mean?

please tell me

....

[cccaymol]

@GordonFreeman9012 You should know, GORDONFREEMAN9012....

Don't get the joke? The Gordon Freeman in Half Life has an MIT, which is probably the smartest you can get. Smarter then Einstine. This guy, named GordonFreeman9012, is Gordon Freeman supposbly, so he would know.

[MrRockydog4000]

@cccaymol agreed

[seeyditti]

same here they wont move after i kill the guards

[demonia666chick]

my ladder is missing :( what should i do?

[drybone12]

You dispatch those guards with great dispatch?

[Maidgorthse]

How do you get that vortigaunt and Alyx follow you? Maybe there is a glitch with my game cause they wont move!

[JMLF9711]

Wonder if cloud made one of these videos.

[StackCityEntOfficial]

fuck those guardians

[pylgrym]

Your camera angles and camera movements far surpass the other gamers' but someon'e gonna have to mod a SteadyCam and make a million bucks!

[vladsterkoba]

Anybody got an idea why this chapter is called "Freeman Pontifex"? What does that mean anyway...

[howitzer175]

@vladsterkoba Pontifex is latin for bridge builder and were priests of the Roman religion. As to why they named the chapter "Freeman Pontifex", well, judging by the word Pontifex make your own interpretation why.

[vladsterkoba]

@howitzer175 Thx, I knew about the Roman priests, but not that it meant "bridge builder". I guess it makes sense since you have to drive car through that broken bridge in this chapter.

[howitzer175]

@vladsterkoba Your welcome :) Lol, indeed so!

[ATP2555ify]

@vladsterkoba and this is the last chapter you fight antlions

[hydra1100]

i remember for the antlion guards i just went and killed them both with the shotgun without ever going back into the little base

i felt very awesome when they both died :D

[xXlisandroXx1]

gameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

love is half-life 2

[Tsnuamiman]

man thats alot of antlions way more then the ones i fightted in highway 17

[ATP2555ify]

@Tsnuamiman that's cause you're near the hive. and the reason you're fighting a Gaurd and Gaurdian is because it's the last time you fight them and you are saying farewell to them.

[nathanalo20]

@Tsnuamiman that means to me that below down there is the nest of the Largest Antlion and Acidlion Family isnt it?

[ferdel4nce]

there was this weird noise on my game, like the left 4 dead 2's jockey when you had to go on your own to get that vehicle. I didnt know what it was, so i went on here to find out without getting scared! xD

[00hydraburst]

Do u have left 4 dead 2 on steam?

[ferdel4nce]

no. Xbox 360

[Azonda13]

whares the Vortalt Fatalt walkThrough im at a place called Vortalt Fatalt dont knowe how to get out of theer Ore what to do?

[SEAKNIGHTRC]

You know that we see all those combine soldiers, striders, gunships and dropships, and they are making their way to the white forest base, right? Well why is it that when we get to the final battle of the game, we dont come across any of those soldiers or gunships, but we only see dropships, striders and hunters in the final battle, they should have included all of those things we saw on the bridge, because apparently on the beta version of the final battle, it had everything.

[DoggyBand]

Toute unité autonome!

[Sniffer194]

This game got such an awesome soundtrack, that it would kick ass even as a radio programme.

[NarutoShippuuden921]

the guard is powerful than the guardian:)

[mickshaw555]

Wow!! Grt player you are!! tshouf

[paladinsk2]

Hehe, i LOVE when the vort at 2:50 says: Galala! =Đ

Its pretty funny though... youre in a battle with the lesser guardian and the vort is just standing and saying: Galala

:D:D

[eddy536]

WT DOES GALALA MEAN ?!

[paladinsk2]

nothing :D but listen to it at 2:50, it makes me laugh :D

[xRSCombineHL2x]

Lmfao! Galala

[MetallicatesJustice]

Why is Freeman called a Pontifex???

[Ueichen]

'cause he kicks ass!

[likeyoucarebitch]

no dog kicks ass

[Troublesome2008]

Wikipedia:

"The Pontifex Maximus (which literally means "Greatest Bridge-maker") was the high priest of the Ancient Roman College of Pontiffs". So i quess Pontifex means Bridge-maker. And Freeman kinda is a Bridge-maker...

[Thomazgutten]

i am trying to kill those guardians or whatever it is, and its impossible and i am playing on easy!! Im out of ammo too :P

[MetallicatesJustice]

You could try using your Gravity gun and toss explosives(or even stones) towards those Guardians.Sprint out of the way whenever they come charging at you.Good Luck!

[phantonmn2]

OMG... THIS IS A BIG SHIT !!...IN EASY.. My mon is VERY GOOD !!

[MecaDope]

What are you talking about?

[Anthemless]

for some reason this part hits me hard...

[MINDGHOSTS]

same =S i was working my ass off with the big creepy things xD (can't remember their names) owells, whatever. i'll just have to practise my skills =)

[CSstephan]

Steam can only produce the demo files but they are of no use for me cause i cant edit them with any program... well and the bad thing about fraps is that i have to pay^^

[CSstephan]

i wonder which program you use to record this? i am looking for something suitable but didnt find a programm like this

[homero980]

what about fraps?

[MIXMASTAPWN]

i think steam has its own game recorder built into the console. but if you buy fraps you can get pretty good quality

[MetallicatesJustice]

Are you serious when you say that Steam has its recorder built into the console?Can you tell me how it is operated?

[MIXMASTAPWN]

yeah it has its own recorder well at least it did in counter strike 1.6 and stuff. google console commands for steam i know that they had it. my friends used it all the time. and if you cant find it message me back or download fraps

[mattmess1221]

for some reason they don't follow me after the fight

[machiner6]

does the guardian have poison in its head during this chapter? I'm just curious.

[artelluros]

Nope, it's just bigger than regular ones and much happier to throw cars at you.

[oshie15]

wait, that ramming monstrosity is a guardian??

[Sinic4]

When it hit me it took my health down and it was regaining?

[coldkill537]

i keep asking my self this what in the hell happend to barney

[Mat13pt]

On last time, Barney go on a train with citizens...

Maybe the train... (same with ''our'' train)

[Itheil]

The beginning is so creepy but cool. The tripods look like they're from war of the worlds.

[devon995]

they're striders -_-

[Itheil]

I know. I'm stating my observation and comparing it with something similar.

[nachobrown95]

good. my favourite chapter is freeman pontifex

[ele90]

at the beggining when the combine are walking across the bridge in the backround you can here a voice that sounds like glados

[Hawkmask99]

Elen Mclain, the voice of the Combine Overwatch...she's been in every Half-life 2 game...I think

[machiner6]

I want to use her to voice a hi-tech flight computer inside a gold condor plane that flaps its wings. That comes from a game I wish to create.

[PetercAW]

ugh, you people always find a way to fit portal into HL2.

[DeathZONE851]

wait!...what do you mean you people?...huh?!

[JadeDragonNight]

porral's great! and anyways it's by the same people who made HL2 so there's gonna be simalarities. :)

[Iceball98]

i like the part when freeman takes the car and it look cool with turbo :D

[davidnalba]

Are you playing in max settings?
