Half life 2 impressions?

[Simon]

Over the next week or so I'm going to play through the entire half life 2, then episode 1 & 2. I got it with the orange box. So I wanted to know, what were your impressions on these 3 games?


Is HL2 not worth it and just skip to HL2E1?

 

[OSVG]

The best mix of FPS and plot in any game I've ever played. HL series is my Chrono Trigger for FPSs. It is my favorite story to play through. You aren't playing HL just for the shooting.

have you played the original HL? If not then I suggest you do so... or read the wiki at least.

 

[Zegz]

get it

The more story you get the better. Also: The episodes won't make sense without the base hl2 knowledge.

I have played the original half life, and also played opposing force abd blue shift. Beat them all.


I will start with HL2 tommorow, and once I beat it I'll move onto ep1. The story I know is fairly good. The one question that remains; who is the gman?

 

[Angstrom]

We all have that question.

I actually played HL2 first without any background knowledge, and found it very enjoyable. HL1 has aged like fine wine.

I've played through HL2 indigitous amount of times. It's THAT good.

EP1 was great.

EP2 was okay.

All worth playing, all very fun.

Played through them all and loved every minute of each one. One of the best stories for any game. Cant wait for HL3. It will wrap up the story once and for all.

I played HL2 for the first time and I enjoyed it a lot even without the background knowledge. So I agree with Yeti.

I haven't purchased EP2 so I can't tell you, but I thought EP1 was great.
Your lucky your getting the bundle at one low price. I paid them individually.

Episode 3 won't be out in 2010.... :'(. I wanna know what happens at the borealis!

Half life series is probably the single greatest singeplayer fps series ever. Played each one a million times.

Off half life has also spawned my favorite mp fpses also.
