I bought HL2 and CS:S today, and HL2 was a total problem. This is a common problem with the game, where everything just stutters, no matter what your computer specs are, even if you got the best computer out, it could still happen to you. I returned it today, very very angry and disappointed.
2 questions:
1. Anyone else had this problem?
2. Can you buy CS:Source on it's own?
This message is sort of like a warning to watch out when buying the game, and make sure you CAN return it if it stutters.
This is a real disappointment to me, as Valve shouldn't of even released the game without fixing this problem.
