The first Half-Life was a so-so crate jumping sort of experience. I'm not bashing the game yet. Don't get me wrong, it's just that I have heard all these tired claims before; flashy graphics, A.I. that can score a 1600 onthe S.A.T.'s, and other gimmicky blah blah blahs. It's hard to believe this could deliver more than Halo (or the soon to be Halo 2) in the way of A.I., physics, or gameplay. Until Half-Lifes combat evolves it just won't shine that bright.

Kik Doom in the rump awesome

Ive seen like every trailer and screenshot and watched this thing as close as a momma raccon to her young since it was announced. The graphics are simply salivatingly delicious and the crazy realism in it is enuf to make you want eat the gosh darn thing.
Ive downloaded the alpha demo for DOOM3 and, dont get me wrong, that thing is gonna raise some hell on its release, but DOOM3, as much respect as i have for the doom series hit a lil' short of where even the Half-Life E3 gameplay video has hit.
I mean im sure its not going to be AS great as the E3 thing makes it look but this thing is going to "knock me socks off" as I might put it.

is it really half life 2?

Ok everybody, I've heard rumours that this isnt actually Half Life 2, it is actually half life 1, under a different name, and it has a few new enemies named 'biozeminades' which can make themselves look good, and you have to kill them with spray paint. Apparently, the half life 2 e3 video and trailer were made with frame by frame animation (so it is not the game) by Yago Zebadiah, who is from France. However, this half life 2(1) is still looking good, and i hope that the biozeminades are as good as people say they are

Hoping for the best...

Aaaah... What a magicall year for gamers. Quake 4 announced, Doom III & Half-Life 2 on the way, and Duke Forever... uhm... well... Half-Life being one of the best games ever to take place on mine and any others hard-drives was bound to a sequel. But, what will we recive? One thing is certain, the game will be powered by one of the wildest graphics engines ever. Visuals only seen in movies, sound effects to droll for, kick-ass much environment interactivity... But... Can Valve keep up with the success of the original? Only time will see...

This is gonna rock...

Half-life was an insanely good game...I've been playing it and the expansions for years and it still exceeds many games being released today.

This game is going to outdo the first by far, as can be told from the incredible footage of the film, and will revolutionise the gaming industry and impact our lives forever...

Release Will be Soon

5 Stars for all the game play videos I've seen and all the info I have heard about the game.
From Gabe Newell at Valve, the game will "go gold" and be handed over to Vivendi/Sierra in August for distribution. The game should be in stores/for sale in September. After all the delays, I honestly believe this will happen.
After downloading the Far Cry demo, I was not impressed. My system can handle everything on the highest setting, and the game just did not deliver the quality I was expecting. I believe, from what I have seen, that HL2 will deliver.
Other games to watch out for in 2004: Doom 3 and Halo 2 (XBOX only). The new Duke Nukem game will also be one to watch for - but in 2005? 2006?

The god of games

(...). This game is every FPS gamers dreems and wishes for a long time all in one brilliant package. Not only does it have the same excelent heartpounding gameplay of the first one, but it's gotten even better. This time around your the same Gordon, but with all new fun tricks up you sleve. The graphics in this game are unrivaled by anything ever seen. They push the limits of graphical deign and hardware. One of the most amazing things about the game is the physics engine. Every single part of the environment has its own mas, weight and density. Because of these characteristics, they will react as they would in the real world. Even letters on signs can be interacted with. you can, at your own free will use tables of chairs to baracade doors, make walls of fire, shatter wood causing avalanches death and break chains or rope causing objects to swing as in real life. To acompany these state of the art graphics and physics is state of the art AI. The new AI system sllows enemies to think realisticle. They can now plan, think and work better as a team. while it may seem crazy, in this game, there are no scripted fighting scenes or object destruction. This game is a masterpiece. It is work of art and will definately be remembered for years to come.

Date?

I've played an early version of it and it looks amazing! One comment I have against Amazon though is that it said it was already released December 31, 1969! What's up with that? Even I couldn't get it that early and no computers could have run it... Oh well, buy this game, it rocks!

Half life 2, spectacular game, odd release date..

This is for all you people who rate games before they come out.half-life 2 is visually the most stunning looking game ever seen,but theres a competiter out there named halo2.I don't see why people think that half-life 2 will far be better than halo2.(which the first halo was much better than any of the first half-lifes).From seeing comparing half-life2 and halo2's features from previews.It looks like you can do much more on halo2 than half-life2.the first half-life wasnt that great anyway.sure half-life2 has all great graphics but as we know,great don't make a great game.so until both titles comes out in stores,nobody should be rating the game like its the dominent force of all games.when both games come out well see which one will be the better game.
