Anyone playing Half Life 2?
I was going to buy this game the second it came out... back in March. Needless to say, all the delays have soured the idea of buying it a bit. Also the fact that I have an unplayed copy of Doom 3 sitting on my desk, and a soon-to-be heavily played copy of San Andreas in my TV room.
So, has anyone actually played this? How does it stack up to the original? FWIW, I loved the original... played through the entire game twice and got really into the multiplayer deathmatch online. I hear the new version doesn't have "normal" deathmatch, just CounterStrike, which is somewhat disappointing. |

I havent played it yet as I need to upgrade my hardware first. FWIW it got an excellent review in PC Gamer mag and the screen shots I have seen are nothing short of amazing.

The game is sweet. It took away alot of my Halo 2 time...and is much more addicting than Doom 3. Doom 3 had me for a couple of hours....im already on like 5 or 6 with Half Life. Physics are insane and the graphics are gorgeous. I have a 3.2Ghz machine with a gig of RAM and a 9800XT card.

I always thought heat was an issue with SFF boxes, yet you cram a high end CPU / GPU in there? I pray you're not OC'ing.

The Gravity Gun is the most entertaining device in the history of gaming.
I played through the game and really enjoyed it. There's a lot of fun moments that makes you want to play again, you cant ask for more than that. |
