What do you think about HL2?
I consider it the best, even if the storyline is poor. And sometimes it's funny (the part with Lamarr at the begining and at the end of the game). QUICK_EDIT
You're right about the multiplayer. And I think the storyline is confusing. But it's awesom to play HL2 at Hard Skill . It's more realistic. The graphics are the best and don't ask 2 much. It works at maximum on a GeForce 4, but I don't have much memory installed. The sounds and music are the best (again). I think I'll put some of the somgs from HL2 in RA2 and Renegade (and maybe Generals). And the engine lets you do many things like what you see in my signature QUICK_EDIT
It is a fun game, and i loved the realism, attention to detail in some places, and the cinematic fealing. But the game is way to short, way to easy (except for some exceptionally difficult parts with 50 guards) and yes, the ending was lame. Steam sucks and i dont support that kind of crap. QUICK_EDIT
Are you mad? Easy? At which skill did you play? And it's the longest game I ever played. And HL2 cracked also sux. I keep havin' an idiot error: A.I. Disabled . At least I now how to use the console (it's almost like quake 3's console which is easy). And now what I hate about Half Life 2:
3 Years of promisses and only half came out (maybe that's the reason why the game is name Half Life); I mean Valve promissed that all the aliens from HL will be in HL2, and how much did you ppl find in HL2? Only 4.
The story is weak.
The weapons kinda suck, except for the Gravity Gun, Magnum, Shtogun and Pulse Rifle..........oh I forgot the crowbar
The fact that I can't hear what Gordon says, just like in HL. Valve says that this is the best way to make the player feel like Gordon. Yeah right! When you ppl speak, do you hear what you say? Of Course! When you look down, can you see your feet? Of course. So what exactly is realistic in this? Not much!
lmao?? The hardest game you ever played? Then I'm sorry but you have not played many games! The longest? You play it throught in about 7 hours if you dont count the endless tries to survive the 50 guard rushes i talked about.. Far Cry, AvP2, Doom 3, they are all way longer games... QUICK_EDIT
I didn't say it's the hardest. It is the longest the game I've played. And the 50 guard rush is/was a sinch for me. I have Far Cry, but I forgot about it . I'll start playin soon. AvP2, I never played, nor seen picts from it. Doom 3, i dont like it for one reason: it asks to much (hardware I mean), I works like hell at minimum settings, especially when I open doors and I found out why: 256 megs of memory aren't enough . Could some one tell me what "lmao" means. I ain't new to the internet, but I none of my friends use this word/expression. QUICK_EDIT

U DONT LIKE DOOM 3?! That game RROOOOXX!!!!!
But it's kinda scary when all the lights are off in your house, and your home alone, and the sound is turned up full blast, AND, you hear a constant dripping and breathing noise where ever U go. But other than that, it's not scary. _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!

They never promised that every alien from HL1 would feature in the second.
Am I the only person who found the story in-depth? Read around the game, talk to everyone. Especially look around Eli's lab and you can find out a lot about what you missed between the two games. There's far more backstory in HL2 than in most games.
Yes, that's about half of the weapons.
Firstly, hearing his voice ruins the element that it's YOU running around City 17, running around Nova Prospekt, killing Combine, taking down those Striders. Also, it's a slight in-joke by VALVe. Alyx says at one point something like: 'You don't really talk much, do you?'
LMAO means laughing my arse off. So it's like saying lol.
Finally, if you think HL2 is hard, then TD + Covert Ops will be nigh-on impossible. I bought it in 1998 and finished it last week. Doom 3 was rather hard, and made you jump enough to die and reload from the previous save, especially the 'they took my baby' scene. _________________

Eh, I didn't meant all aliens, but they still promissed some.

Yep you are right. But I think that Lamarr is more amusing (especially in the end of the game). Half Life 2 Gold is a cool thing. You have all you need in it: CS:Source; CS:Condition Zero (I think), HL1, HL: Opposing Force, HL: Blueshift (it's kinda like hl2, the weps I mean) all of these on the new engine; some other stuff (manual, etc.). I think HL with source wouldn't be borring at all. HL2, even if it has cool grafics, its story is kinda weak, even if I like it.

That's the second part that I don't like . Too scary. And I like DooM3, but it doesnt work on my pc.
Edited the quote so it now works. ~ Clazzy Thanx Clazzy. Last edited by Havoc on Mon May 02, 2005 11:50 am; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
i was completely unimpressed with halflife 2 and it totals my processor. the weapons are all terrible not just a bit terrible but REALLY terrible none of the weapons either are rubbish or dont hold enough ammo like the pulse rifle its a great weapon but only holds enough ammo for 2 reloads, the crossbow is just plain silly and unbalanced in online play. really it just sucks. id rather play MGS on my plasystation, its longer has a better more in depth story has good balanced weapons good bosses and is rather long. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Well there is a place where you can find a mod that balanced and changed the weps: www.fileplanet.com. Here you'll find some good stuff for hl2, only visit it later, now the server is very crowded. QUICK_EDIT
Half Life 2 Single Player i cannot comment on since it does nothing but crash for me cos i have a nVidia motherboard....
As for the Multiplayer, i am actualy able to play that, but it needs alot of balancing, ie the Shotgun needs to be toned down.
And by the way, Doom 3 sucks, it might have good graphics etc, but that is kind of pointless when they are all hidden by shadows.... _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Doom 3's graphics were good, but rather shiny. I must admit, when I played it on my old PC (VERY dark monitor) I didn't quite get a clear view of what was happening. When I played it on my laptop, though (which is way better) I got to see fully the graphical engine and it did make the game more enjoyable.
HL2's graphics, though, are such that there's nothing quite wrong with the engine. You just accept it and go on, without amazing at the graphical effects every few minutes. _________________

Half Life 2 is a perfect game (technically), except for the sound part. Some had/have errors with the sounds, that kept repeating. I had these errors, but there is a solution: play HL2 under Win98. On WinXP I always have this sound problem. HL2 doesnt ask too much from your pc like Doom 3. I mean that you need at least 512 MB RAM for Doom 3 at minimum settings. HL2 asks for 128 minimum. And I don't really like Doom 3's action. Fight with some demons on Mars.........BIG DEAL! HL2's action is intersting. A world changed by an accident at Black Mesa (Now I finally play HL1 ), terror everywhere led by an mad man that stays in a huge citadel, combines everywhere, a cool prison where you don't have time to breathe, a haunted town (first time it scared me ), fight togheter with some rebels against striders, etc. It's a cool game for short. QUICK_EDIT

Shotgun? Ha, that's rather balanced, compared to the Pulse rifle Secondary orb. Shoot that in a narrow tunnel, with a group of Combine in it, boom, 5 or six kills. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
The orb can easily be stopped with the gravity gun, and besides, there not many narrow corridors anyway, especially filled with five to six people. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

And how often are you just walking by with your grav gun out?
And, there's enough places where its narrow enough for this to work.
And I'm talking about a fan map, CTF_Warpath. Ever played it?
A common strategy is to grav gun a van into the entrance. And I'm usually pushing it into place, & getting a orb bounced into my ass. It's really annoying. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
And how often are you just walking by with your grav gun out?
When I played HL2, the weapon that I used the most was the Gravity Gun. It's good even against combine. In the Nova Prospekt level I use the gravity gun to carry turrets. It's effective against head crabs (I still prefer the crowbar) and ant lions. QUICK_EDIT
I'm talking about online, when you've gotta avoid or kill any enemies you see. I avoid playing Deathmach games, just TDM. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
I never played Halo 2. Now I'm downloading Halo 1 PC Edition, so I'll see the wonderful world of Halo. And the grav gun in mp is useful at something: catching the pulse rifle's orb, machine gun's grenade or the hand grenades. QUICK_EDIT
