Nice early post :)


when did you get it? i sat through the hell of hl2's release night where the servers were so full it took 4 hours to validate and play. it is still the number 1 game i play, neck and neck with FEAR.

I hate re playing it. But the first time was great. Water Hazard was my favorite.

if oyu have a regular server you play on, get me the IP and I will hunt it down. I actually used to play cs with a bunch of guys from Glenrock mass (i was in their cs clan for a year). For all of my bitching about new england, the game community seems pretty good around these here parts.

I thought it was alright.
Personally, I thought the first one had a slightly better plot, and felt somehow deeper. It was like playing through a sci-fi thriller, whereas the second felt more like an action movie.
With exception to the great graphical advancements, slightly better AI, the ravenholme level, vehicles, and the gravity gun, I didn't see it as all that much of an improvement. For as long as everybody waited for this game, it seemed a little bit of a letdown.
Not quite the letdown doom3 was, but all the same.
Good game, but the first will always be my favourite, much more replayable too.

They need to totally remake the 1st with all the new enemies and graphics and guns, with more levels, and it would be amazing.

I just finished HL2: Episode 1

The fight scenes are better than the original. You fight a LOT more combine at once and you almost always have alyx by your side which is fun. The *Zombines* are really good zombies, pretty tough, freaky as well. The level in the parking garage is so FUCKING cool. Its scarier than ravenholm from hl2. Its pitch black half the time and your light runs out sometimes and you can hear fast zombies running at you and its jumpy.

The ending sucks more than m night shymalan's endings and is a bigger cliffhanger than pirates2... Bitches.

I liked the ending. we already know episode two is in the works for next spring/summer and looks to kick some major ass.
