November 16, 200420 yr wow, I feel sorry for you guys... I got mine unlocked at 6am this morning and now, I'm near the end of the airboat part all I have to say is that this is THE best game I have ever played. Period. Having played Halo 2 also, I can safely say that it doesn't even hold a candle to this game. It's so god damned immersive! You feel like you're actully there, in City17. Everything in the game makes sense, everything is where it should be. There's no strangely placed objects or anything silly like that. Best god damned game I've ever played. I agree with everything there. You said you were near the end of the airboat part? What the hell do I do here...? I'm stuck in a retarded cave with one of these little creature guys.
November 16, 200420 yr At the moment I currently hate HL2 with a burning passion. Damn thing broke steam, I can't even log on to play FA. Not buying HL2 until I get a bigger harddrive anyway, 30gb just isn't big enough for me.Besides, I might wait until the new Firearms-ish mod for HL2 comes out to buy that, would rather not have to play CS:S. Don't care how much better than CS it is, its still Counterstrike... But, if they removed/nerfed the AWP and you respawn immediately after death, I might give it a try, otherwise, hell no, lol.All I can say is: Long Live Firearms!
November 16, 200420 yr Author I got past the airboat yesterday. Ive got the gravity gun which is awesome and im in ravenhold or whatever. but i cant log on and plus im at work so i cant play for another 7 1/2 hours :DMr
November 16, 200420 yr you probably can't log on because people are swamping the steam serversI havn't unlogged from steam for 3 days :DI'm in the coast area now, the antlions are VERY annoying
November 16, 200420 yr omg I LOVE HL2!!!!!but this year will be the last year that my 5700LE will be able run the newere games
November 17, 200420 yr you probably can't log on because people are swamping the steam servers I havn't unlogged from steam for 3 days I'm in the coast area now, the antlions are VERY annoying ' didnt u have to restart steam?
November 17, 200420 yr OMG, I just ADORE this game :DThe whole "Mankind has been subverted by a superior race" theme is awesome! The little camera things floating around taking pictures of me doing nothing but my own business just creeped me out. I kept looking over my shoulder. I wanted to say "Would you stop following me around DAMMIT?!" LOLWell worth the buy. They have truly outdone themselves.
November 17, 200420 yr this game is awesome, just a note for some new people, don't hit the flammable, highly explosvie barrels with your crowbar :Dat times like these i wish my computer was better but it still looks amaing 8)although i played HL1 source for a little and it was exactly the same :?
November 17, 200420 yr $5mil says i dont At this point it's safe to say if you're not getting this game you're quite retarded. Sorry but it's a fact. :mrgreen:Fact noted....then disregarded.I have never played Half Life, i have never even accidently opened it instead of FA. I have no intention of playing Half Life, the same goes for Half Life 2. Shooting aliens is not my idea of a good time, and i am not paying £35 on a game so that i will never play it. I TOTALLY agree with Scottish. It's exactly my case. The HL2 engine will power every good mod for the next 5 years. If you enjoy first person shooter games, you will buy it eventually. If you don't, what are you doing here?
November 17, 200420 yr The HL2 engine will power every good mod for the next 5 years. If you enjoy first person shooter games, you will buy it eventually. If you don't, what are you doing here? I bought HL in 2002, just to play FA. I will buy HL2 in a while, when mods come out that I want to play, and when the price drops. So yes, most people will eventually buy it, but not everyone will right away.
November 17, 200420 yr HL2 only has 2 vehicles in it so far:1. The boat2. The jeepThere obviously will be mods with vehicles in it in the future.Will make some pretty good racing games
November 17, 200420 yr Comrade_Jerkov, Water Hazard was awesome, I just love running down those bad guys in my power boat thingy
November 17, 200420 yr ............ gg steam not responding for 2 hours of me tring to install...... got home...... spent 2 hours installing..... it never responded...... finallllllllllllly after another hour of D/L CRAP it installed and unlocked..... finalllllllly got to play it..... then the gf wanted to talk...... (if the woman aint happy........ aint nobody happy..... rem that) ...... so i played like 5 min...... i need more mem..... really slow..... gg so far...-G
November 17, 200420 yr I bought HL in 2002, just to play FA. I will buy HL2 in a while, when mods come out that I want to play, and when the price drops. So yes, most people will eventually buy it, but not everyone will right away. I understand that. I was countering the two that claimed they would never buy it, one even saying he bet $5 million that he wouldn't.
November 17, 200420 yr But, if they removed/nerfed the AWP and you respawn immediately after death, I might give it a try, otherwise, hell no, lol. All I can say is: Long Live Firearms! I agree with you, if CS was like FA where you respond back from the dead instead of waiting forever for everyone else to die then it would be a good game. So inclosing: Long Live Firearms
November 17, 200420 yr HL2 SURPASSES my exectations! I have only played for about an hour (me and my bro were switching off every load, lol) And then the reincarnation of the devil (my mom) kicked us off because my bro has to study for a test! :evil: But my God, everything looks gorgeous! So realistic! The ragdoll effects are freakin' awesome! I just fooled around for the first half hour, picking up stuff and having fun manipulating the environment! I wanna play some more SOOOO bad! At least I have the HL2 shirt, it is so big it is a good nightshirt for me! Anyways, the rest of you have fun playing HL2 while I am not allowed! :evil: BeccaI LOOOOVVVEEEE HL2!!!!
November 17, 200420 yr this game is the best ever. i just stoped playing an i'm on map 6, chapter 2. i think i'll beat the game tomorrow
November 17, 200420 yr The HL2 engine will power every good mod for the next 5 years. If you enjoy first person shooter games, you will buy it eventually. If you don't, what are you doing here? Well, I agreed with: I have never played Half Life, i have never even accidently opened it instead of FA. I have no intention of playing Half Life, the same goes for Half Life 2. Shooting aliens is not my idea of a good time, and i am not paying £35 on a game so that i will never play it. not with the part I would never buy it (please check it). I like playing FA but I didn't play any other mod and HL itself. I 'prepared' to play CS with my friend but we never succeded to find friendly server (read: that we both could see it and join it). I like FPS but not as much as TBS, so if I wouldn't play FPS in the future it wouldn't mean the end of the world to me. Side note: I love Duke Nukem, but not because of 'oh-God-I-shoot-the-aliens!' part but because of the humour of this game. No offense meant, but I'm sure I won't be playing HL2 soon. Ditto for Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake etc. etc. Regards, BH

If you don't, what are you doing here? Oh ffs I am sure that you are aware that <TAC> is a large, well known Firearms clan. Firearms was <TAC>'s first love but since then they have expanded into other games and mods. As far as i know <TAC> is till very much apart of the FA community, that is why i am here. I an not here to call people retards just bcause they are not going to buy an Alien Shooting game.
November 17, 200420 yr I LOVE THIS! So far I have gotten through Ravenholm (VERY SCARY! EEEK!). I about to go down Highway 17 (yay for ant lions!)
November 17, 200420 yr If you havn't played Half-Life or Half-Life 2 (by now), then all I can saw is that I feel sorry for you, because you are really missing out on the greatest video game experiances you'll ever have.Stop coming to this thread if you don't like Hl2, your words fall upon deaf ears, ears deafened by the greatness of Hl2
November 17, 200420 yr it's frking awesom !!!!!!!!!!! aside from the 2 hours for steam to respond an unlock it, gahhh i hate steam !!!!!!!
