Well now with Half life running max settings on my comp and looking good (Except those 2 min load times) I really want this game, its on my Want now list HL seems a good game, I went back to the original and played it (Man do my eyes still hurt from that) to get the story, unfortunatly I never finished! I hope its as good or even better than HL2!

HL1 was the best. I couldn't really see what made HL2 so good, it wasn't on par with HL on dragging you into the story. Ya have to beat HL to get gman

I wonder what happened to these graphics were once top of the line!? lol....... Damn I remember the NES When I was like 5 years old..... Those graphics kicked majorly! Now, they look mysteriously like crap.... modern graphics, you play a game, looks good, go back 5 years later with question marks..... ah the joys! Cheers, Gunny

I don't understand all this codenaming. Aftermath sounded much better, and what the point of using a different name? It makes sense if you're trying to keep something secret, but once you reveal your product to the public, pick your name and stick with it. It's silly. Roll Eyes

The biggest rip off I've ever saw was hl source. The Only thing that I notice is different is that they changed the water slightly and now if you shoot gman he goes black (like bullet holes on walls) instead of being made of metal like the original HL which was far better. So if you've got hl dont bother with HL source, waste of money

Indeed. Rather pointless.

Black Mesa Source looks very promising, however.
