i was coming top3 in all the games i pld after about 2 hours. this is just how ww2 games should be, i try to play games like DoD and BF like this but it just doesnt work because someone just strafe shoots u while ur lying down crawling forward. I think this game appeals more to the older players...
I think this quote could be the connection to the scene at the beginning of HL1. For a brief moment we were with the vorts, they were in complete darkness, the same place that you are put in by the G-Man which is void of space and time.
my 2 cents :P
I am like that after originally completing a game. I played through HL2 only 3 times since its release. Although I have only completed HL1 twice so you are not entirely alone :)
p.s Only played HL2: EP1 once
