well, I mean, HL2 isn’t that great a game, i love it for its engine, besides that, it lacks suspense,drama,high-octane action,emotion,advance game-play, and well to be honest, not even good a story.
Its just fun, and was one of the first.
It lacks what players want these days.
Reading that was like listening to someone speak while chewing a mouthful of toffee.
Lots of people play portal, it just requires a bit more patience than a normal FPS. I preferred it to Half-Life 2 personally, it was a lot more fun to play. But then I like chess more than football so what do I know. :rolleyes:
Also, WAY too much Half-Life there. Expand your pallet a bit.
I’d just punch them. Or hit them with a stick.
Both.
i would say "Where is yours HALO MESA?! "
Half Life 2 is a textbook example of how to do an FPS right, Episode One even more so due to it’s flawless pacing between puzzles and combat. I actually rather enjoyed getting One Free Bullet- it was almost a completely different game playing it that way.
HL2+ Episodes is required reading for any self respected videogamer, much like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Mass Effect 2, Rainbow Six Vegas, Xenogears, Burnout Revenge, etc.
I also have required reading lists for games that are merely good but can be improved on, such as Mirror’s Edge, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, Final Fantasy XIII, Red Dead Redemption, F.E.A.R., Jet Set Radio Future, Halo 3 ODST, Alan Wake, and so forth.
Yeah I know, I mean look at Modern Warfare, people loved it; it’s story was epic.
/sarcasm
I would tell them to read this thread and then they would see what lame really is and then they would stop hating on HL
I would tell them to go back to halo/modern warfare
no u
“If you see a hl-hater, tell him I said F*CK YOU!”
-Barney Calhoun
that would be Reach
“i’m sorry you’re a fag”
Well, reach is actually to halo 1 as black mesa is to hl1 
i don’t like halo because i’m not a thirteen year old boy
i dont even have halo
Halo is an arse fag with crappy guns and a stupid jump. let’s not talk about it anymore.
I have so many cursors moving along my screen.
I’m sorry did you just say the original Half-Life only features Freeman for 3 seconds in a cutscene at the end of the game? 
Keep it that way, we don’t want you to become any dumber.
hah, i forgot that reach wasnt a remake, but a prelude
