PC Gamer Declares Half-Life 2 "The Most Important Game You'll Ever Play":
<<The game was given an â€œEditorsâ€™ Choiceâ€ award and a review rating of 98%, the highest rating in the magazineâ€™s history>>

This game is going to rock! It seems the storyline is similar but hey, I only played HL1 about 5years ago and I dont remember it LOL. And I have never played CS.....

I hope I can play HL2 without problems!

You dont need any guide: you need shooting skills

Dani, I'm sorry if I'm going a little off-topic, but my friend has been talking about this game non-stop!

So here's my question, what's this game all about?

Half Life is a shooter, you just run around shooting aliens

Post by **TheStig** » 10 Nov 2004, 17:51

yeah it continues where Half-life 1 left off.! (weird ending...

)

story in Half-life 1:

you are a scientist in a big secret lab! in the middle of the Nevada Desert!

while doing a test with a inter dimensional system, there was a srew-up and a Portal to a other dimesion was opened!

so big ugly aliens come over and ruin your day... kill loads of people there and run amock!

you get a weapon from a security guard that is killed in front of you by a zombi... so from that moment on you start shooting up the basterds!

halfway in the game (as all games the basterds get bigger and) you get a new Enemy: The US marines are coming to shut down the whole Lab! with force and make sure nobody and nothing is living there anymore
INCLUDING YOU!

later on you go to the Alien Dimension and kill the big ALIEN SCUMBAG leader (ofcourse huge)

then the game ends in a weird end! (can't explain only people who played it know what I mean.... but to be short it is a rather open ending

the best thing about the game was you could interact with the other people that worked there... and it functions like a movie... things are moving all around you and continue the story while you walk past...

was IMO the best shooter of that time

so what I know is about HL2

you are the same person as in Half-life 1.

and the bad aliens are back... (how... dunno)
but they are not in a huge lap in the desert but in a big city....

so shooting time!

Gees, thanks for the reply Kenny, and especially Stig for explaining thoroughly, I appreciate it!

how the hell, but in the end of the first one u get 2 choose either u join em or u dont ( and u get killed) they should have that choice in HL2 .. also has anyone played opposing force??? i beat that game in about 3 days, it was preety cool, but not as long as HL1

Post by **TheStig** » 11 Nov 2004, 02:54

yeah I got the whole set

Halflife (game of the year edition) Opposing force, and Blueshift

I liked Opposing force it was more fun IMO and the marines looked wicked and where pretty funny!

blueshift you play one of the security guards, fun but also short and a weird story... end: you are outside with some other workers... and escape??

but the opgrade it did on HL and opposing force was wicked!
the guns looked better and all the GFX was better...

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 11 Nov 2004, 03:24

i havent played blue shift.. i got the old old box set, with only HL, opposing force, TFC, and CS..i paid 80 at the time.. now u can get all 5 for 20

Post by **TheStig** » 11 Nov 2004, 03:26

I paid for the set of 5 but not 20 for sure...
can't have it all eh?

Kilkenny · Post by **Kilkenny** » 11 Nov 2004, 10:45

I just bought the box set of part 1, so I'm still trying to get to the end

HL 1, know it in and out, why? I have been playing Counter-Life, HL single Player story with CS weapons.
Whats so special about it? Well it is fun blasting aliens with an M4 or M249, but in the end it got so much routine for me that I only pointed the gun at a specific point at the wall and fired, on the other side I heard my enemy hit the floor.

I knew where every one would be, instinctivly, still I found it to be a funny game, and I still do.
Though my friends calls me the HL SP god, though I have only played it too much
