Well, as you can see there are a lot of things that make this game a very good game:

1 The engine of the game is very flexible and you can play it with a descent computer, and ti doesn't lose a lot of quality in the Frames per Second, or the graphics don't look bad. Not like Doom 3, that the engine require a monster PC to play it , and with medium details or something like that.

2 The AI is pretty good and is well adapted to everyone, including allies and enemies. Because they react like a normal player would do in the game. For example they run when they see a grenade.

3 The physic of the game is awesome because when you throw something, it bounces with the apropiate direction (for example you throw a glass bottle to a corner, and the bottle brokes and the pieces bounce with some direction and ever they can hit another part of the wall), or that you can pick up something as a shield, etc.

4 The Gravity Gun is the funniest toy in the game, because you can do a lot of things to enjoy yourself, throw something far, very far away, pick up men hacks, throw boxes to the enemies or paint buckets, anyway, is always fun.

5 The facial expresions are something very good, because ist's almos real those expresions of the characters. You can see in their faces joy, sadness, anger, fear, etc., and that is something that I like it a lot.

Opinions?

Hmm, that's quite a description. I guess it's a pretty realistic game. Well about the physics part anyways. I had an opportunity to play this game but I passed it up. I don't remember why. Ah well, it's too late now.

Well I like it because its realistic and when you start it you don't know what may happen next (Since now it is much more realistic)... Also it can be funny since something weird might suddenly happen...

*spoilers*

I liked the end with the souped up gravity gun, I tossed guys around in the air like bean bags, I think I even used two of them to juggle. Awesome gun!

I agree with you man. Just got the game about a week or so and loving it. Though I thought the graphic was or even better then Doom 3 which I also have the week before that ( don't even play it now since I got HalfLife 2 ). Just upgraded my computer and been trying to get updated with the PC side of the games ;)

Most of your statements are graphics concerend. I've played Half-Life 2, I got the Collectors Edition here on my desk, and it's pretty obvious that the graphics are excellent. I expect, however, some more innovation in gameplay (I'm not merely talking about HL alone). The PC has good graphics, plenty of games to prove this, now for the real innovation on gameplay.

I played the demo(n) of Doom 3, well, more or less actually. It run like s**t. Its going a little bit to fast with computergraphics with less improvements on gameplay.

One funny sidenote, the new expansion of Doom 3, Resurrection, has a lovely copy of the Gravity Gun and BulletTime from Max Payne. Nerve Software made it, btw.

YAHOO FOR HALF LIFE 2!! IT ROCKS!!

I'd have to agree, HL2 is one of the best games out. :) I like the great improvement of the graphics over the first HL. Lots and lots of pretty eye candy. XD
Nice screenie katsuke. :nya: Thats garry's mod if i'm not mistaken.

it isnt!

i liked the flow of the game
unlike doom3, its more balanced
i mean, doom3 is about constant fear, and i cant just stand that
on the contrary, there's ravenholm and some other creepy spots in hl2, but it has other, nicely done parts too, like driving stuff

but actually i think doom3 has a more advanced graphical engine, or at least the lights/shadows are waay more complex than anything i've ever seen

Yup! It is Garry's MOD, just perfect for making hilarious screenies! LOL LOL LOL LOL :D

HL1 is 100 times better than HL2
(sp might be as good but mp surely isn't)

enough said

Still playing AG mod for HL1 (= HL1 how it was before 2002, still with bunnyhop etc)
Been playing HLDM (1) since.. forever. I guess you can call me a "pro" lol.

Here an old screenie of me kickin ass on some public (from 2001)

Oh and btw the clan I was (am) in for HL1DM plays HL2DM too now (I don't play HL2DM competitive tho). And they're unbeaten, haven't lost 1 official match yet, leading in clanbase and won a few cups 8P.

Yes, HL2 is a great game and it's beautiful !!!

But I agree with zidox, HL is still far far far far better than hl2.

ive played HL2, i wasnt too impresed. the story is more of the same ol same ol, and in terms of graphics its pretty mediocre compared to doom3 and splinter cell chaos theory.
