Gaming: Half Life thread

Hey all,
just finished the Halflife 2: Episode Two, apart from the HL1, HL2 and HL2: Episode 1. I really liked the storyline, but it really needs Episode 3! 8) I can't wait! 8)

With my mediocre English I could translate everything to Slovak for my brain, but I don't know what G-man said to Alyx in her unconsciousness state. I know that she warned Eli about "unforeseen consequences" (hence the name from HL1), and I think it has something to do with Episode Two's ending.

I would like in EP3 a something called the "final boss" or something. Something like the "boss Combine advisor" or that. And, more soldiers, more guns and mainly, more episodes and tasks to complete, please! :P If you compare: the original HL2 had 14 episodes, EP1 had only 6 and EP2 had 7 of them...
I wouldn't mind to have some new guns put in, like the electricity gun thing from HL1, that pierced several zombies in a one shot :)

...geez, I sound like an addict :lol:, but I really like the whole HL trilogy.

Any Half life fans out there? :)

i've played it a bit, but never owned a HL game, and as such never really got into it. I have mates who really love it though

Isn't 6+7 == 13? (unless I'm useless at maths ;))

I'm an Unreal guy. I tried HL but didn't found it entertaining :(

Portal owns though :)

I love the HL series (still waiting for the orange box to go down in price :P).

I did buy Portal when it came out though, simply because the gameplay looked so novel and I wanted to try it out. Awesome game.

CS and TF (and TF2) annoy me, I'm not too great at them as opposed to HL2DM.

Although, I'm personally more interested in a good flight sim over other game types, but that's just me.

I really like HL2 as well, but haven't played any of the Episodes - I want all 3 to come out before I play them! My only problem is my extremely slow Athlon XP 1800 machine, with a semi-broken monitor.

I got a new HDD a while ago and didn't bother re-installing HL2. I'm looking at a new PC any time now and want to wait until I have a computer that can do HL2 justice. At the moment, I'm into Wolfenstein ET and X2: The Threat.

Cheers,
Adam

They're great games and I want to play HL3. But I hate it when you finish the last game/film in a series and there is no more :(

I've played HL1 and HL2 on PC, and then the Orange Box for Xbox 360 was released and it included HL2, HL2 Episode 1, HL2 Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 so I bought that :)

You are correct, but the EP1 and EP2 weren't a part of the original HL2. :)

I tried to play CS:S and I stayed with CS 1.6, because you would die more quickly in CS:S than the 1.6 version. Also because the Source version has completely different weapon parameters... ;) My good ol' shotgun (at least the automatic one) has gone bad in Teh CS:S.

Episode Three should be released somewhere in 2009 or maybe sooner. If you compare that the EP2 was released in October 2007 and EP1 in june 2006... that's a one year plus 4 months difference. :)

"Lamarr? Blast that thing! Where did she get to?" :D

I can't play HL for a long period of time. If I force myself I'll get sick. I don't know why.

I'm a big fan of some half-life mods. The original story is ok. But some mods are outstanding in quality. Perhaps I buy HL2 just to try some hl2 mods. :)

I have HL, HL2 and HL2:Ep 1, but I haven't bought Episode 2 yet... I'll probably get the Orange Box sooner or later...
