Posted December 27, 200420 yr Yes as the title explains it i think that this game is garbage (from the Single Player Campaign Point Of View). I've just finished the first person campaign and i was sooo disapointed in the game. Its soooooo linear its not even funny. There is absolutly no fun (atleast for me) in playing it since it feels like a "Shoot Em' Up" game with no strong plot. I mean the plot was there and it is a interesting story its just that you find yourself half way trough the game not knowing why you're doing what you are doing. The story doesn't fit to well and all those "Lemme show you this" and disaster strikes is to retro for me. I guess its probably because i've had the oportunity to play over the past few years some amazing campaign based games such as Operation Flashpoint-Cold War Crisis/Resitance, Hitman 1,2,3 etc... When you stay in front of the computer for 18 hours playing the same game (campaign) you know you have a good game (EX: Operation FLashPoint) But in HL2 it was more of forcing myself into finishing it. So ya after all this wait i am thoroughly dissapointed about the game. All that is comforting me is the knowledge that the mods coming out will probably be amazing. BattleField2 here i come....
December 27, 200420 yr Well.. alot seem to agree with you.. There is no story at this point, it's all commin out in hl3, so we'll have to wait =/ Basically what I truly hated in hl2 singleplayer was the A.I. Dear god, the combine don't even move when you're attacking them. They stay and just stand in that one spot and never take cover. It's too easy.
December 27, 200420 yr the thing i hated the most about HL2 was the ending of the game but in the end there really was no point in the game the thing that made it so good would have to be the game's rag doll phyisic's in it
December 27, 200420 yr Yes kids, there IS a story to Hl2, it's just not spoon-fed to you like other games. THe fact that Valve has a proffesional novel writer on they're team is starting to show. No, the story isn't as great as other games, but I think of it as merely a setup for the third game. This is really introducing you to how the world as changed and what situation you're being thrown into. Basically what I truly hated in hl2 singleplayer was the A.I. Dear god, the combine don't even move when you're attacking them. They stay and just stand in that one spot and never take cover. It's too easy. you apprently played it on easy, try hard. They work together, cordinate attacks (One, Two, Three, Go Go...is something I've been caught in a lot) they flank you, they land grenades in your position, it's some awesome stuff.
December 27, 200420 yr i never even finished the game, i dont like aleins type games, i got it for the mods and the couter strike
