INTRODUCTION
Are you like me and want to get straight into the game, skipping the Valve intro? Yes, you can press enter, but there’s a way to make the Valve intro not play at all.
STEP ONE — GO TO THE HL2 LIBRARY PAGE
Now, we must access the game files. This can be done by going to the library page for Half-Life 2.
STEP TWO — ACCESS THE GAME FILES
This can be done by pressing the settings icon.
STEP THREE — GO TO THE ‘MEDIA’ FOLDER
Now, we must go to the media folder. This is inside the ‘hl2’ folder. The media folder stores all the video files for the game.
STEP FOUR — OPEN THE TEXT FILE
STEP FIVE — REMOVE ALL THE TEXT IN THE DOCUMENT AND SAVE
To make the Valve intro play again, re-open the text document and type:
