Has anyone here played the Half-Life 2 yet? If so I thought I would ask for your input on the game ofc please keep any spoiler out of your post. I have to say that I haven’t beaten the game yet but since starting it I have had a hard time putting it down. I’m really impressed with the Character facial expressions, I was also taken in by the AI, it path fining abilities, and it realism on how the AI won’t simply rush into a gun fight but will look for cover. The game as been a pleasure to play thus far, The graphics and over all feel are great and then adding in the fact that this game isn’t nearly as needy as Doom 3 was system wise. I would like to hear what you guys think about it.

I liked playing Half-Life and I think it's a classic. I can see myself playing it even when I am 50. It was so good (at least to me) that Half-Life2 must be something totally out of this world.

I will definitely get this game myself one day but not until I get my new machine. In the meantime, I will be the jealous guy.

Yep the first one was really cool I still do play it. maybe sometime we can get together and I can fire up the server I once had and we can go head to head. But you have to let me know when you get the second one and what you think about it.

HL2 is insane!! Id like to say Ive played HL1 but whats the point in mentioning it...With HL2 out..Theres no reason to ever play it agian. Dont get me wrong i still love HL but overall HL2 kicks the shit out of it!

Oh and the ending is a good one......but you said no spoilers....lets just say i was in shock and didnt believe it was over when i got to it.....you'll see what i mean

You got to the end ALREADY?

I haven't even got to the end on the original HalfLife yet!

I LOVE Half Life.... I bought it in mid 2003 (yeah, I'm a late starter for these things) and have played it regularly (except for when I'm big into playing a Final Fantasy game like FF VII (which I'm playing now) ) ever since. Only reason I haven't got HL2 yet is because I can't afford it... No job + School + 170,000+ miles on my dying T-bird = not much chances of getting HL2 anytime soon :-( :-( Anyway, I have to drive to get to school and I have to go to school to get a decent job so I gotta take care of my car! But that's another subject. Anyway, HL is awesome with Steam... Ahh... The Day of Defeat mod... :-) I can't wait to play HL2...and of course all of the source versions of HL1 mods offered on Steam!
