You touched me deep. I'm going to start playing them more. but I'm a huge fan of Blue Shift. I know what you mean about the atmospheric levels too. I was amazed by them.
In fact the only thing about hl1 that really bugged me was the fact that the crowbar made the same annoying sound no matter...
I already learned about the Gordon reflection part, and I get what you mean, I'm just saying it would be cool if that worked, I don't expect them to do anything about it.
I know, I wouldn't either, but see, the Half-Life 2 game's graphics, physics, and realism was supposedly only matched by Movies. So therefore, when I notice a tiny thing like that, it bugs me.
I didn't stop, I love the game, the graphics are just weird to me, haha. But I'm saying the reason I finished HL2, the graphics just made everything look even better and the story line more interesting. So if HL1 had those graphics, I'm sure I would have beaten it by now, and I've heard rumors...
