Half-Life 2 for Mac Commercial

[jensonjack]

Those soldiers chasing Alyx are complete idiots. I mean, they've got guns, for christ's sake!

[TehBoe]

You're 6 years late on that, Valve.

[Minigun101]

Wait, I'm sure she was trying to swat a fly.

SANDVISH 0:21

[8MKWeb8]

Pause

IT'S CHUCKLES

[TMF4200]

Humanity annoys me -.-

Not a hint for episode 3 for 2. Main reasons

1. Parody of the 1984 mac commercial

2. Why would they make a half life 2 episode 3? Half life 3 was announced before portal 2's release

Btw I'm a valve fanboy

[nitejrny]

Anyone know if the OS X version supports Head Tracking?

booom

[MrKILROYS]

does it work for iPad also..?

[techguy588]

This is epic on many levels.. Sweet.

[red33m23]

I want a Mac. Now.

[nihilus0]

EPIC! :D

[eragon2704]

THIS IS FROM HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE 3

Does anyone else notice at 0:19 and 0:20 the marks on Alyx's back? Those come from a hunter in episode 2! Alyx did not have them in Half Life 2. This must be a hint as to episode 3! In that case why is Breen there? We thought he died. Also, you know it can not be half life 2 because at 0:19 there is a huge fan! This is not the citadel people. This is Half Life 2 Episode 3. In addition, WHY does Gordon not have the crowbar? Thumbs up if you see the proof!

[sariel234]

@eragon2704 your right on the marks on alyx back it could be a hint but your wrong on half of your part it's a parody of mac's commercial back in the 80's

[eragon2704]

@sariel234 I know its a parody, I've seen the commercial. But they meant for it to seem like the Citadel, this however as I've said can not be.

[Jakkinator45]

@eragon2704 Alyx has the crowbar because in the original 1984 ad there is a woman who throws a hammer

[WhatsUpImJonny]

@eragon2704 Thumbs up if you're not a complete idiot and realise this isn't half life episode 3, but a parody of the 1984 macintosh commercial directed by ridley scott.

[killerman19880385]

@WhatsUpImJonny pss hey dude theres easters eggs hidden in the video.Heres one example:Pause as soon as you see alyx's back and you will understand.

[PerfectInsanityTV]

@eragon2704 You're a dumbass, this is just an ad not a hint at Episode 3.

[sporeapollo11]

@eragon2704 This is a parody of an old Mac ad.

[GhostRelimit]

@eragon2704 it's just an ad sherlock

[cyberpunk64bit]

games on mac? the best one was the little apple logo puzzle.. the tile rendering still pushes the graphics bounds on that little mac processor.

[JPSoviet]

@cyberpunk64bit Dude Macs have more processing power than your fuckin brain

[LotusDragon09]

@JPSoviet You dont seriously believe that, do you? Human brains make even our fastest processors look like retarded gerbils. Putting that aside, I dont know much about hardware on Macs. Only that the best Mac can still be beaten by a PC and for cheaper. If Macs do have better CPUs, thats not the only piece of hardware that matters so other systems could still outclass it. Do Macs suck? No, of course not. They are just heavily overpriced and arent as godly as some mac fanboys act like.

[JPSoviet]

@LotusDragon09 Of course not, and your right, Macs are overpriced and PC's are shitty, better off buying a 500 dollar computer then installing Linux.

[LotusDragon09]

@JPSoviet I dont have any experience with Linux (but am willing to try it). I havent had any bad experiences with PCs that werent my own fault directly. I guess this is like an NVIDIA vs ATI thing. Some people say ATIs are crap and dont work, but plenty havent had that experience. Some say NVIDIA is the best, but others have had trouble with them.

[thehackerz101]

PC gaming will always be the better platform in my books. Fuck Consoles, And fuck Apple.

[Norway2011]

looks like the old saying of "Macs have no games" will be going away

[red33m23]

Even Valve saw the light and started promoting consoles. Wake up PC users and buy a PS3. No troubles - better graphics - much more fun.

[red33m23]

@dmcemmet Sure but you had to give loads of bucks to buy a good gaming PC whereas the PS3 costs less than 300$..give another 500-600$ for a good TV and you are ready to go.

I have the PS3 for 3-4 years and it keeps performing better than many(if not most) PC's. Moreover you don't get trouble installing anything, you don't have to upgrade all the time nor download additional

The console was built for gaming. Gabe Newel:"Portal 2 on the PS3 will be the best version ever"

[RoboBalo]

@red33m23

He said that Portal 2 PS3 would be the best "console version", mind you. The PC version will be the best.

[mickeymouse14]

@RoboBalo it shouldent boil down to best consol, it should boil down to THE FUCKING GAME :V

[red33m23]

@dmcemmet Additional software I meant

[BlueDud3E]

@red33m23 i try but im only 14 i got no money

[red33m23]

@BlueDud3E I am 17 dude. My parents told me that if I want to buy something for me I should work.

I work every summer since I was 12. This is how I paid for my iPhone my PS3, my TV and all my other stuff...this is how I paid for the damage I dis on my dads car ;)

You want something, you work!

[muk546]

haha big brother (Microsoft Windows) got owned

[skittles25]

What surprises me is why the combine aren't using their rifles to shoot Alyx down before she can throw the crowbar at the TV screen. What happened? Did the budget cuts at the Citadel force them to carry only 1 magazine? Did they run out of ammo? Would have looked better if they used metro cops with stun batons...

[nvidia20082008]

Awesome

[megagamer82]

breen got owned and did he say "sandwich"?

[Nezzytheawesome]

I love how Half life is sort of like 1984

It came out for the Mac

And the mac commercial was a parody of 1984.

Funny how well everything came together.

[nvidia20082008]

@Nezzytheawesome Yup that's why this video is made out of 99.99% WIN

[helpdonate1]

PC will always be better then consoles. Cause you could always upgrade

[red33m23]

@helpdonate1 With consoles l..you don't need to upgrade ;)

[helpdonate1]

@red33m23 thats why the graphics of PCs will always be ahead of consoles because you can upgrade ;)

[red33m23]

@helpdonate1 No I meant you don't need to..graphics already overcome the ones on a PC. ;)

[alonalon777]

on forums i read that hl2dm is going to mac too can somebody confirm me if i can play it on 9400gt ddr2 512mb?

2gb ram

intel core 2 duo pentium D (2 cores)

p.s. hl2dm is easier to run even on the older engine i tested hl2 and hl2dm hl2dm = more fps by like 20! and it works ON MAX settings on a laptop...

[nampuuku]

Lol, this is a copy of the first Apple commercial.

[briggsotisdallas]

this is just based off the 1984 apple commercial, united

[briggsotisdallas]

go pc

[UnitedStatesOfPariah]

does that mean that valve's hammer will work on mac? i'd like to make me some maps and mods. please reply if you know.

[Gmodcinematic]

Did anyone else notice the marks from the hunter were still in alyx's back? Is Breen still alive and this is also working as a secret preview for hl3?

[Shinderiy]

0:21 SANDVICH

[TheUnrealisticTurth]

i have seen from the past comments that there was a discussion on "graphics". i want to try and end it now and say that half life 2 has the same graphics in all systems. it's still good, and the graphics are good COMPARED to other games that were made after it. yes, pcs and macs have good graphic and controling(sp) systems, but that doesn't mean that the PS3 or Xbox 360 is bad as well. Both companies are trying to make them better.

[keegan341]

Half Life 2 came out in 2004.

[Planbskate230]

Half Life 2 and other Valve games have the best and most vivid graphics ever, if you look at most 'modern' games, objects don't stand out to much, that is a result of bad graphics.

[Licardo7]

@sargen6464 yes

[Licardo7]

@sargen6464 cus clearly half life 2 came out in 2001

[CronosDage]

I love how they copied the first Mac commercial--1984.

[Wolvster007]

Sandwich.

[alampandatennisrack]

LOL half life fans that had macs probably bought gaming pcs for hl2 in 2004 xD

[pie189]

and it took em 9 years to do this?! thats why pc is way better

[roxdbox]

@pie189 no............... actually they took less then 6 month to port the steam to mac

[Jomster777]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Pier... what? I'm sorry, Noone knows you very well which means your opinion SUCKS!

[killa524]

FINALLY WE PC AND MAC USERS CAN COME TOGETHER AND BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE CONSOLE DOUCHE BAGS!!!

[ElChrisman]

@killa524

While I dont like mac fags... I hate consoles even more... Arggg.... The enemy of my enemy is my friend I suppose.

[Shadowdncer]

@ElChrisman The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less. (Rule #29)

[Masamunecb]

So this is what Gabe meant by that bsod.



[henritje19]

I really like this trailer its a very good parody of the "1984" mac commercial and shows that Valve still works on the HL games

[DarcyMGOF]

Zelda doesn't suck you idiot.

[OneManDoomsday]

Please fix your description, you don't play in Black Mesa. Better yet, play the game.

[zackca11]

There may be a new Half Life announcement June 14th! Look it up on GameInformer.

[sclek2007]

Also not to mention that they had to wait like 6 years for a port :P

[sclek2007]

This is good news for Mac people... except that they still have to pay $2500 for a Mac when they can get a faster PC for only $1000 :P

[katamari117]

you win this time apple.....

[ReSource17]

You know, that this is Alyx from EP2??? Look at the back holes at 0:22

[magicpie777]

To anyone who has a problem with half life 2 being released on Mac. GROW UP, FOR CHRIST SAKE. It's the same damn game but more people get to play it. Quit bitching about, *ahem* "ZOMFGZORS M@cS SuX BALlz nD 1F U 0wN 1 ure A FaGot LOLOLOLOL". I'm sick of hearing it. Enjoy your god damn games and the fact that even more people get to play and experience them now than before. The same goes for you console fan boys as well. Welcome to steam mac owners :).

[MithranArkanere]

Well, not all things are so bad.

Yeah, those stupid macs that should be only for plugging their iPods and photoshopping get to play the game, yeah, that's an aberration, every single decent persons hates that, but at least they updated the old chapters and added achievements to them.

And that's something decent PC users can enjoy, which is something good. It's like the baby found in the earthquake.

[WiFooo]

THIS IS THE BEST GAME/STORY EVAAAAAAHH!!!! I'M NOT A NERD!!!! WWIIEEE!!! PREPARE FOR THE FLYING DOGS! THEY WILL ATTACK SOON!

[RodsVideos]

This "revolution" should be arrived on Mac since Need for Speed was Released, for the same plataform, late revolution, maybe now we should have an TRUE PC WARS, like the CONSOLE WARS, just grab your seat, pop corn and let's see what really happens, thanks again for Valve, Steam team for not working in one way of the street.

[DeDaDoDu]

@RodsVideos crycry valve supports 2 platforms cry cry

That's all I hear.

[haszpla]

0:23 Breen said SANDWICH xD

[DeDaDoDu]

@haszpla He said "sandviched betwee..."

[6XWX6]

Wow I'm in shock, a game for Mac that isn't Chess :0

ITS TOO BAD VALVE, THAT GAMERS DON'T HAVE MACS D:<

[y0user74]

The description is wrong.. Half-life 2 isn't set in Black Mesa, that's Half-life...

[kookooglue]

tehe epic

this is a rip of apple's 1984 debut commercial..

where big brother was IBM

[guthierre157]

Fizeram semelhanteao comercial do macintosh em 1984

[MrBoo88]

Whiny Cry boo hoo I want my teetee! Anyways great video valve.

[emptycorp]

this forever tarnishes the memory of dr. breen

[danleclerc57]

Breen is a great speaker but he is also an encridbly selfious and evil man.

[hnmtgf4]

WANT EPISODE THREE! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pkerch00b1]

good move of steam there many people that want games on their macs

[Exotic47]

lol dr breen is like steve jobs, going "buy a mac, buy a mac"

[Vanschameleon]

gebt mal ,,speed katze" ein

[xchangliix]

ToTalY GAY mac sucks at all!

[nikopoulet]

ok if you don't remember this old apple commercial this video look very strange

[TheGreylord]

0:17, chuckels the cheat!

[Prnnce]

@TheGreylord it's a fuckin game model it's not huurrr

lurk forever

[TheGreylord]

@Prnnce Don't wet yourself....

[rickdlol]

I still don't get the point of this - maybe it encourages mac owners to upgrade their machines when they realise they can't run anything better than simcity '95.

But surely valve have got more important things for their programmers to be doing?

I like that valve are making the first steps to doing this, and many people talked shit about Steam when it first arrived, but then again, what have Mac users contributed to gaming history past the mid 80's?

[ArnoldAbuser]

Thats not good, mac is not for gaming.

[Mantax66]

Fuck Mac. We all want an Episode 3 update!

[ripthejacker]

lol 6 years later

[Riles07]

WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK!!!! WHEN IS EPISODE 3 COMING OUT VALVE!!!!! >:(

[jimday666]

@Riles07 true true. all is fine, but no episode 3 :'(

[wrexcil]

@Riles07

That's what I'm saying.. We've been waiting a while...

[Shinyfreakowns]

@Riles07 Valve doesnt understand the term episodic gaming

[LfunkeyA]

@Shinyfreakowns

i know, and the sad thing is that they're the ones who popularized it. very ironic.

[hunter1st1st]

@Riles07 next year

[LfunkeyA]

@Riles07

yeah, can't they stop rehashing the same L4D shit for once and just release that episode.

[cyborg34572]

@LfunkeyA Half life 2 episode 3 will end half life 2 story . Valve is like ID software, they dont like rushing things at all, when they release something they want it to be good and not look like a half done rushed game , Valve's probably making episode 3 longer than hl2+episodes combined so that can take a very long time to do.

[LfunkeyA]

@cyborg34572

they can take 20 years if they want, while other companies produce excellent games in 2 years.

[cyborg34572]

@LfunkeyA Well even if thats the case. I love valve because their a company thats true to pc gaming. So id still buy it even if it takes that long to wait for it.

[opusman2]

@Riles07 I give a flying fuck.

[Gysom]

@Riles07 it is coming out at 2011 check imdb.com for more info.

[turtleman924]

@Riles07 Inorite? FRICKING PUBLISH EP3 ALREADY!

[racer2322]

@Riles07 episode 3 is currently under progress and is probably finished sometime in the ending of next year...... i cant wait :D

[LunaVorax]

@Riles07 Who gives a flying fuck ? People not using Windows probably.

[Riles07]

@LunaVorax dude....the game is almost 6 fucking years old now. Its a bit puzzling why a PC/Xbox franchise would after all this time be re-released to people who spend more time with their gay little Mac bubble web cams anyways.

[LunaVorax]

@Riles07 Who cares if it's 6 or 10years old if the game is good ? But indeed, I won't be able to change your mind (in fact I don't really care about it). Just avoid showing you don't have any agumentation by using the word "gay" to describe non-PCs and paying attention to "how old a game is".

[Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre]

This is pathetic… there should not even advertise this… This game is so old I can't even remember when it was released… and the graphic are seriously out dated… all that to play a shitty game… Buy a PS3 guys…

[MGBFilmz]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre

How is Half-Life 2 a shitty game?

You have obviously NEVER played it..

[Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre]

@MGBFilmz Yeah you're probably the only who figured it out here. I don't give a shit about this game... I just launched a troll... and it seems that everybody is falling into it.

How to generate comments on Youtube 101.

[MGBFilmz]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre

FFFFUUUUU-!

[rfgggg]

@MGBFilmz wait some one said it was a shitty game? NEUROTOXIN AND THEN ANDROID HELL FOR THEM!

[MGBFilmz]

@rfgggg

And a malignant status plus amputation!

[FutureiMacuser]

@rfgggg

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOORTAL.

[PixelSith64]

@rfgggg <3 your Portal reference

[redwingfan41]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre

If you say half life 2 sucks then every game sony has ever released is complete shit. Also KZ2 had great graphics and that game was garbage and im saying that as an owner of a ps3.

[JeBuZac]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre It's actually one of the best games in existence. Were you too young to own a PC when this was out? Good games never grow old.

[dissidentsMax]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre who gives a shit about graphic's if the game as good game play and story.

[cyborg34572]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre If u want to update its graphics then download the Half life 2 mod called FakeFactory 10 (i forgot the latest version). It replaces all the textures with very high defition ones, even a gtx260 will have a hard time rendering them at HD resolutions.

[scarface8999]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre

who cares about graphics? only a nerd who cant get some. Half life 2 is one of those games that actaully make sense. Oh yea, and PS3s Xbox360s an wiis suck, buy an SNES, best game system out there.

[Prnnce]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre except that ps3 has NO GAMES

and Half lfie 2 has NO FLAWS

[dregothic]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Buy a PS3? Over PC gaming? What world do you live in?

Besides, HL2 has won more awards than most PS3 games combined and even Gordon Freeman was voted best video game hero ever.

Even my current rig can do better graphics than a PS3 and its 2 years old. Must suck having 4+ gen old nVidia 7800GTX as a GPU in that PS3.

[Drake14161337]

@dregothic I highly doubt your PC has an 8 core cell processor. Anyways, they both have their pros and cons. Let's just all shut up because I'm tired of console wars on every game video. Let's just enjoy all the games out there shall we?

[muk546]

@dregothic pc gaming sucks i spend $1000 get a ps3 or xbox and a 60 inch TV you spend $1500 and get a 22 inch monitor with fuckin fans going sorry console beats the pc for gaming

[dregothic]

@muk546 Yea........ Why would I buy out dated hardware? Why restrict myself to inferior controls?

Hah.

[luismatheusv]

@dregothic I buyed a ps3 to play lbp, mgs4, inFAMOUS. PS3 is the best console, but pc is allways better... :/

[bierbuik]

@dregothic yea but pc gaming is for nerds

[slackingstacker]

@bierbuik pc > you

[brickfilms333]

@dregothic however, there is the orange box 4 ps3 so ps3 + hl2 = :D

[kill2liveand4fun]

@brickfilms333 yeah!

[ExtremeUltimatum]

@dregothic I say get both instead.

[koalalord145]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre I AM GONNA TO EAT YOUR HANDS!

[Andthatswhymacssuck]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Name one aspect that's shitty about this game, the graphics were great in 2004 when it was released, it's features were revolutionary.

And HELLO, it's a port

And srsly, just play the game

Here's games that are shitty:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Mass Effect (both)

[TheBeatlesFan123100]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre it was released in 2004 plus a person who had played it and seas it sucks means they never got to the part with so much action and parts were you can make a montage.

[carmelo580]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre

Fuck you, and fuck your pathetic taste in games!

[Dunthyon]

Buy a Ps3 to play games with semi-good graphics, yet HORRIBLE GAMEPLAY and/or STORYLINE!? Uh.. i dont think so!!!!

[HEADCRABMAN1121]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Your an asshole, Half Life 2 was upgraded to the Orange Box engine and it stil looked good when it was RELEASES IN 2004 U DOUCHE. THIS GAME HAS INSPIRED MANY FPS GAMES! Shitty my ass. And, what does a ps3 have to do with any of that.

[gabefett]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre ps3 sucks, this game is awesome, and if you think three years is that old then you haveobviously neverplayed a good game

[somrandomguy86]

@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Dude, just because a game is old doesn't mean it's crap. Everyone know that old games have revolutionized gaming so we can have the games we play today. You must be a fucking moron who is 10 years old.

[cyberdaemon]

@somrandomguy86 Half-Life 2 has some kickass features and it looks good even today!

[Rudolfusftw]

Meh, why dont they just hurry up and at least announce the new half life? Its been ages since Half Life 2 Ep 2 came out!

[famouskoifish]

Wait... "Gordon Freeman will now be available to fight off antlions with his gravity gun while navigating the perilous paths of the Black Mesa Research Facility." But it's Half-Life 2. Black Mesa isn't in it :/.

[davisroch132]

OMG mac can play a game. Its the end of the world!

[BenMcCormack91]

@davisroch132 I certainly hope not.

[Ray350tube]

I like that steam is making there glacé games mac compatible. But I'm a pc. They are Easter to mod files through.

[Goblins911]

lol wasn't that like a fed-ex commercial?

[ZouloumOSX]

@Goblins911 No that was 1984's Superbowl Macintosh ad

[JasonTheInsane]

sandwich?

[AtheistOnTheEdge]

Is anyone here even old enough to remember a TV commercial from the 80's?

[richbyrd117studios]

LOL

[infernalcross]

did they have to ruin 1984 with this?

[SubGumCRyno]

Clever!
