Post subject: HL2 manual?
Archived from groups: alt>games>half-life (more info?)

Hi everyone. I just got HL2 today and it didn't come with a manual, I
guess because it's the re-released DVD version? Anyway, is there an
online link to a manual? I like reading them so I know what's going on.

For example, I don't have a clue what the suit does or what it means to
"recharge" it with power.

Thanks.

I'm not sure of a link to a manual. Did you buy a CD/DVD version?
Maybe it is on there?

the suit is the HEV suit and it protects you from certain things...you
don't actually need to know anything else about it. You have your own
"health" and ontop of that you can have suit health with just acts the
same as body armour in anyother FPS. In HL2 you find recharge points
on the wall...hold down the use key at them....

I checked the installation folders but no electronic manual either. Sad

Oh well, so far so good without it anyway.

Yeah, like most FPS games its intuitive so manuals are not normally
needed. Only official one i know of is a quick reference card which is
useful for the basic controls etc...

But then again if you redefine your controls you'll also get your own
"guide" in the options menu with your own keys....

I think I know where you are coming from with this question. Obviously
you have started at the start and there you have no suit and as far as
I know you have no health to worry about either (at least inthe first
few mins). The start is just the introduction into the story and the
physics model etc....

Don't worry about any of it....it'll all come together very soon Surprised)
