it took me 3 years to complete HL2. Took me a day with ep2

looking forwards to trying to do this, already i already have other plans lined up at the same time now -.-

Heh, make sure you don't get lost in Ravenholm!
I'm curious as to what Demonata's reactions were to Ravenholm..... if she jumped a mile at things in HL1 jumping at her, I think she may have jumped to the moon when the fast-zombies jumped her or when she came face-to-face with the dreaded poison zombie that instantly threw a poison headcrab into her face...

HL1 has the charm, HL2 and subsequent episodes have the detail.

hl2 is just as good as hl1 but goes even further obviously because of the better graphics.

HL2 is a very good game, yet I still find myself for some reason feeling that HL1 is a better game. It's weird.

personally i believe hl2 is much better, hl1 is much more enclosed as a game so i see it as different if that makes sense, still really like it tho

I personally found HL2Ep2 my personal favourite of HL games, followed by HL2. Ep1 and HL1 were a bit meh to me.

episode 1 was good also, but didn't have as much variation really. they are all aweseome games!

I like HL2E2 because instead of bullet symbols of ammo, it gives yuo the gun symbol so it is easier to tell which weapon you've just picked up more ammo for (obviously this is probably because I am a noob) although some are obvious: rocket = rocket launcher, steel bolt is crossbow, grenade is greanade but the rest seem hard to tell to me
All of the HL series are fantastic though.... you reckon Vavle are going to link E1,2 and 3 together into one whole complete game and call it Half Life 3?

I never noticed a different HUD, I just thought the game on a whole was great.

Valve won't release a HL3 which is just the episodes, they may do a discounted episode pack, though.

@ Hawke, the Pistol and one of the MG's has the same ammo IIRC... atleast it did in the first one xD

ravenholm is still freaky as hell D:

An update to this would be I have gotten quite far, in fact I've just got to Eli Vance at Nova Prospekt :O (or however it's spelt lol)

Ravenholm is win I could play that level over and over xD

First time I played, I stopped at Ravenholm

Same here, cos it was scary D:

im going to download right noww yey

So long as it's not done illegally, good ^^

Eh? xD

Nah, Ravenholm is win. I couldnt get enough of that level. Which reminds me I havent played Lost Coast yet

Lost Coast is pretty good, as is Ravenholm, it's just a creepy place - which it's meant to be!

Is it just me, or does Schlurbi make no sense?
