And for those of you who don't have good enough comps to run HL2, The original Half-Life is still one of the best FPSs available-I'm not kidding. If it was released today it would be an awesome game. It was released in 97, and I still play it every week. Recently named PCGamers #1 game of all time (very well deserved) HL2 was #4.

And ya, HL2 kicks ass.

Same here, still play the original HL2. And HL2 will practically run on any machine. The engine is so frickin optimized. Its runs on a geforce4 mx440 very well at 1280 by 1024 res (of course at dx7 level, so less gfx goodies)

Cripes a'mighty!

I got Half Life 2 yesterday, and it's awesome! I'm loving every second of it! Except the spooky scenes with those crazy skeletons-with-head-humpers that go bezerk and sound like a rabid dog when they come after you. I;m not found of the guy who totes around 6 head humpers and then throws them at you, either. But other than that, schweet! Grin

One question tho': are updates automatically done with Steam when it starts up? I can't find any updates on the official site and such.

???

Toodles! Kiss

Yeah, I think HL² is updated automatically via Steam.
Ah, Ravenholm. Razor blades, Zombies, and that crazy priest. I just love that episode! Grin

Look forward to "Highway 17". That's where the HL² engine really shows its muscles!

I love it at the beginning when the gaurds smack you around if you mess with them. I was throwing anything I could find at them just to pi$$ them off... Grin

Rats, that was awfully short... Tongue

I thought it'd be something like Far Cry where the game just keeps going and going and going... I've never liked multiplayer too much, but, I might check it out now. Embarrassed

Steam update al your games automatically, so don't worry, you always have the newest versian.

Yeah, Ravenholm is my favorite chapter. Endless fun. I've played it several times already.

Driving the car is the coolest part of the game. I like pushing the abandoned cars over the cliff with th gravity gun! Grin
