BF2S Forums [Half Life 2] "So wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes."

lal maybe i should buy and play it then

I didn't find it that exiting. The actual fighting and shooting is VERY outdated. It's a simple game with a complex storyline and snazzy graphics and physics. Not that special now is it?

Yeah it's a fair beef game.

Counter Strike has the same physics i think.

Any game with the Source engine does.  Counter Strike: Source has the same physics.

Uh, yeah, it's still very special.  The atmosphere, staging, characters, anything plot/story/setting-wise you can care to mention, are all so far ahead of any other shooter, it's ridiculous. 
The combat may be fairly standard (although how you can possibly say that about the gravity gun is beyond me - a toilet to the face of a Combine is still brutally satisfying now), but it's not all about the shooting is it?  A game that can draw you into the setting this well is rare indeed, and that's what it's all about.

Half Life 1 was a bigger ground breaker when it came out but Half Life 2 is by no measure a bad game. Still one of the best games ive played.

HL2 is fantastic. What level are you at?

This game beat the crap out of BF2 and BF2142. Gravity gun was the most fun in that game, picking up a radiator and blast it against combines sure was fun. MP was ever better because being good with GG was a good way to the top.

we dont go to ravenholm > all other hl2 levels


that level is the dogs nuts in gold

but ive beat that game like 9  times now and it still ammuses me even now

Try Esp 1.  It is a lot more creepier then We don't go to RavenHolm.  For most of the part that I have played, you are basically in the dark with very little light execpt your flashlight.  (Mine always seems to go out at the wrong time also.) 

http://hl2ep1.nfsvideos.com has a lot of videos for each level and are pretty good.  They are part of a walkthrough if you get stuck.  Check out Chapter Three on the menu.  The elevator battle is really intense also.

You fail horribly. Comparing a mutiplayer empire to a single player game is retarded.

Lets not forget it won awards. 50 to be exact. All game of the year awards.

I am forever thankful to Stryyker for giving me his Steam login/password so I could play HL2 and HL2 Episode 1.

Expect the same treatment for Episode II/Portals, if you wish

FEAR > HL2 in effects, sound, and gameplay.  HL2 scaled pretty well, I'll give it that much, but compared to FEAR, there's too many gaps in the action.

Whatever mate, you can't appreciate a real game. Sure the sound may be a tad better but the combat and weapons system is so dodgy and run of the mill, how can you even compare that to Half Life 2's wide variety of guns, especially the gravity gun. This opens up a whole new level of gameplay and makes the game that much more immersive, for example; can u pick up cans and throw them at the enemies head, or use pieces of metal for barricades in FEAR? I don't think so. "Oh, but FEAR has bullet time!" you might say; bullet time is one of the most overused techniques in games and movies and is nothing original at all, whereas half-life 2's gravity gun is a very original idea and is implemented extremely well into the gameplay. for example, you MUST utilize the gravity gun in the game to succeed, however in FEAR you can run and gun the whole way without ever having to tap the CTRL button. Half Life 2 never once uses a 3rd person cut scene to further the storyline, unlike FEAR which features several where the player is not present. This adds to the storyline of the game immensely makes it all the more compelling. Half-Life 2 graphics>FEAR Graphics because; 1. It supports HDR lighting. 2. The textures are higher resolution. 3.Characters are modelled more effectively and amazingly detailed, just look at Alyx's face(from HL2) compared to Paxton Fettels(from FEAR), there is significantly more realism. The Source engine is perhaps the most effective, resourceful and streamlined engine available today, which makes any game on it a cut above others of lower quality. I think this is about the last of the criticisms i have to make, however i will post if i find more
