Halflife 2
<div class="IPBDescription">It's here</div> I bought halflife 2 off gpstore.com.au two days ago.
It is in my hands now.
I thought i wouldn't get it today because when I came home from school it wasn't there. But some time between the crying and fits of jealous rage, some sneaky deliveryman slipped it next to my front door.
I am holding it in my hands.

Best. Game. Ever.
Still don't have it.
I could handle it if they didn't take my World of Warcrack away. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Killing off WoW hurts, even though I have HL2. I feel your pain, Birdy.
Hopefully I'll get my HL2 once I've had a word with my brother <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
However, I hate zombies and I think ravenholm will be a nightmare for me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I need company, it's lonely and scary by myself....
The coolest part though was when I actually got hit by surprise right at the start of Ravenholm, because I was zooming in in awe on the opening scene.
If you already played Doom3, hl2 zombies looks like teddy bears.
*WARNING, don't read the following paragraph if you didn't finished the game already*
The storyline is excellent, until you finish the game. It is the most frustrating end I've seen until Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie. I know, people will say that these kind of endings are cool cauz it is like in the matrix revolutions movie or "insertmoviethathasstupidendingtitlehere", I say it makes you feel like you've made your way through all the levels for absolutely nothing. Anyway, that's my opinion.
*Ok, you can continue reading now*
But HL2 is still the best game I've ever seen and I can't wat to play all the mods that will come out for this game.
I was amazed by the number of buzzsaw blades lying around. In Ravenholm, they don't lay flowers on people's graves; they lay great dirty discs of jagged metal.
Highway 17 is just the lull so you can calm down over Ravenholm. Another awesome bit's coming up for you after H17.
*kinda spoilers, not plot related*
I was annoyed by ravenholm, sick of all the rusty crap and predictable zombies everywhere... and brother what's-his-name mocking me, reminding me it's not over yet...
but highway 17, I enjoyed... various clusters of houses, each with different surprises... only time I was truly scared in the game so far was that one house with nothing in it, til you get up to the top floor and those electric balls fall through the roof out of the blue... and the sequence under the bridge was pretty exciting...

Its certainly living up to its name so far, well worth the wait, yummy yummy physics, i played in that derelict park with all the swings and see saw... wow wow wow wow wow - love it, ty very much valve - your game is worth every penny and some!
What im waiting for now is the mod developers like ns, svencoop, tfc, sci&ind, dod, firearms, etc, etc to catch up - ns is my fave mod and my mind is doing overtime at what the future holds for the mod....whatever the outcome, rest assured, running the hl2 engine, it will ROCK YOUR WORLD...every been a scared marine? Creepy hives etc....You havent seen nothing yet, i should imagine with the effects engine and physics, ns for hl2 will be the scariest mod on the hl2 mod scene.
I have mapped for ns a loooooong time ago and its been a while since i peeked at wc or hammer as its now known, i think when ns for hl2 is available i shall be getting back into mapping - providing i can tear myself away from the game! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Now my only problem is - do i play hl2? or ns? you think no contest - hl2!! arrrr well i miss the online gaming of ns, its nice to play as a team as apposed to playing on your own(hl2) ...
whatever the outcome - if you havent got hl2 - go and buy it now! Your missing out on some fantastic stuff otherwise...
Have fun and stay frosty!

<i>Her</i> pain? I had an account on the open beta (already hooked from the first stress test) but was grounded.
So close.. yet so far. <b>Feel my pain.</b>

only <a href='http://www2.b3ta.com/mind-control/' target='_blank'>one thing to say</a>...
I've tried 2 of em! Half-life 2 just doesn't want to install itself.

I just got through that area last night, pretty intense.
I think he used a double barrel shotgun.
I'm updating my radeon 9800 pro drivers now, but is this a technical issue or is my computer not good enough? I tone the graphics down but it doesn't seem to help.
My fps is around 30, by the way, in HL2.
