Halflife II

[Roderick Colenbrander]

Did some more experiments and the game is also playable! The issue regarding 
the menu is that some font isn't showing up, the same problem appears in the 
halflife2 console. After some fiddling I loaded a save game from the hl2 
console and it loaded the game.

For a screenshot check http://roderick.student.utwente.nl/hl2-2.png

Haven't looked at the performance yet, it is not slow guess 20-30fps or more. 
Note that this is using a radeon9000Mobility and further options like 
-dxlevel 50/60/70/80/90 might help tweaking performance in hl2. Further I 
don't know how fast/slow this game is on windows.
