i realy dont get why that was so amazing to some people. Alyx running around isnt revolutionary and 4 hours of her kicking zombies and other assorted supposedly vicous aliens..... is gonna get lame within 20 minutes. Anybody care to remember why linear fps games dont feature NPC's that are...

Im having some concerns about buying the game. I think it looks great and yadda yadda yadda. Im just worried if its too niche.... I like realism, who doesnt? but it seems like the game could rate realism over gameplay. So my plans are to leave it for a week or two and see peoples...

At the end of the day you are always gonna get people who dont think Valve are doing enough and the polar opposite... who think anybody that bad names valve are scum. Personaly i just sit back and laugh at the many.... many.... delays and lack luster updates... but thats just me... im not...

The end of the combine and breen on earth..... :rolleyes:

Funnyily enough i actualy played it in MP today for the first time in months. it realy is a poor BF1942 clone though... But somethings gotta keep me going till BF2/demo considering my 1942 disc 1 is fubar and i cant be arsed playing BF:nam.

Theres a good 12-15 people plus combine that dont know you in the very first level. The only time people learn who you are is when the resistance moves on City 17.. wich is after the manhack part.

RTW (including HL2) simply the best strat game ever created, completely free form campaign as apposed to wandering through a blown up city thats 100% linear.

Im getting 60.3 FPS with everything on full and 4X AA and 16XAF 1024X768 10,300 on 3dmark 2003. 3.4 gig P4 nvidia 6800 GTO 256mb 1 gig ddr 400 pc 3200 audigy 2 ZS

Does Valve ever thank you for shagging their arse? seriously, the guy complained about one thing and you act like dick of the year.

guys got a point about the number of different enemy. combine infantry 3 types zombie 3 types head crabs 3 types strider choppers 2 types ant lions 2 types manhack things 2 types barnacle thats 17 things and most of wich are variations (ie. clones except a skin) of the others...

Well from the laggy piece of crap that is the current Hl2 death match we can all see why CS:S was the games multi player... "Team" death match... thats funny, the only team thing about it is that you waste your ammo on some guy you cant kill, theres NO team spawns, theres no objectives or...

Not to mention that on numerous ocations the Gman reffers to you basicly as a pleb. ie. some ordinary guy who has realy realy shitty luck but has a nack for guns. not to mention that would be the cheesiest and gayest storyline twist ever in a game, as well as the fact that if you are...

decay? wtf? was that some type of mod for sp hl or something... the only birds i saw where dead ones on xen.

I honestly think that valve have always been making up the half life story on the fly.... ie... after hl1 they didnt know what hl2 was going to be about, sure gordon would return and so would the gman but the combine? the xen portals expanding etc... city 17... NONE of this was hinted...

Why is there so many war games? war sells, its fun, its cool, its escapist. BF1942 in its day was original (as well as the best mp game ever IMO), the market wasnt full of ww2 shooters that had vehicles in them, CS was original in that hardly any other game touched the whole terorist...
