Doomboi Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well I have all Half Life games (hl1,hl2,ep1,ep2) but can't play ep2 for a strange reason (keeps crashing on me).EEIT: Platform is PC (1.50 ram). It's like it... hates my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A●O●J Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Half Life was revolutionary in FPS games and helped set the base for how FPS games should be made. Half Life 2 made almost an even bigger impact, with excellent graphics for its time and one of the greatest physics engines ever made. It was the start for games like Counter Strike and Team Fortress 2, and its newest prodigy child, Left4Dead. Half Life Series > World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Why not? What console is it on? PS2. I have a shitty TV with spoiled contrast so playing on it is unappealing =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problematica Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Played them all, loved them all. Diligently waiting for Episode 3 =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 how was ep 2? The only one I haven't played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
problematica Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 It was really fun, gave a nice change of scenery and even gave a new enemy, plenty of good action in it as well. It also continued the story incredibly. I'd have to say that, overall, I actually prefer it to episode 1.If you haven't gotten it, get it as soon as possible because it has some huge plot points that you really need to see for yourself.

Holy Babylon Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I loved how in Ravenholm you could shoot paint at the head crab zombies and chuck massive saw blades at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Babylon Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I can't wait for the last one to come out. It's going to be excitomundo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I will be saying the same after I get the Orange Box. Though based on the vids I've seen for HL2 ep 2 on youtube, there has to be a HL4 later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A●O●J Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Valve hasn't even started HL2 EP.3. I don't think we will see until maybe the middle of next year, by the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Babylon Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 G-man actually might be Gordon Freeman himself. G=Gordon?
