I enjoyed hl2, my only concern was the requirements. You really need a killer comp to enjoy it to the fullest. My fps were horrible during the strider combats, and the last few chapters. Played it through just to see the story.

The biggest let down was when g-man appeared 'Time.. Mr Freeman...? Leaving no conclusion to the story. I'll be expecting another release soon, with the same engine hopefully.

Indeed

And then...
"time? mr Freeman?"

Haven't played HL2, and I might when it falls to $15. It seems fun, especially since I played the first one and enjoyed it; but I didn't get excited hearing about it coming out. Doom 3 on the other hand, I wish people would get off making it out to be something it was NEVER supposed to be. If anyone read what was originally inteded for, they'd know it was ALL about ATMOSPHERE. And as far as I'm concerned, visuals still blows me away on my mid-ranged card. They wanted to make you jump, and it does. Several times. They wanted shadows to prevail in a claustrophobic environment where sounds and lights immerse you to be constantly on edge. It was never supposed to be an all out fps slugfest. If anyone has a legitimate gripe, I can see two areas that annoyed me. I wish they'd have put a little more effort into animatronics and reactions to bullets and the environment. You'd think nowadays that an enemy would be able to react when something explodes nearby or is hit by a bullet or object. It's a start that they take cover, and in farcry they converge on you tactically, but jeez, a little more enemy attitude would be nice for once. The other gripe is the PDAs. I liked the idea, but I feel they failed to keep many of them from pulling you out of the mood at times. Anyway, that's my hype.

im not sure the 'revolutionary' physics is that revolutionary anyway. trespasser (first person shooter set on the lost world - jurassic park) has realistic physics and its about as old, or older than half life 1

i haven't played hl2 and i don't plan on playing it for 2 reasons:
1. my computer wouldn't run it
2. STEAM

as far as im concerned, steam screwed up hl + mods and crippled it.

It just was a fantastic game IMO. I liked it, that a game known as 'graphically good' runned on my 875 mhz pc, with all graphical features being on, on 20 fps! I really liked the graphics, just take a look at that water! Ain't it fantastic? And the gameplay is just perfect, maybe a bit too easy, but nothing more to say about that. I'm a big fan of hl2, and am hoping for a hl3!!! (heard something from it already)

If you want phyisics, I sugest you try out America's Army and check out those twisted phyisics Then again, it is funny to see an enemy fold up like paper :twisted: :evil: LOL .

HL2 doesn't have the feeling of running alone in tunnels, you just want to survive and get out. HL2 you feel more like a Messiah. The first part when you escape over the rooftops is quite HL1, even though you are invurnable

[wormpaul]

Indeed....maybe it just missed the feeling from being hunted and really survive k:
