Anyone here ever play Half-Life 2?

[iam90sbaby 2,125]

Steam is having a huge sale and just picked up every game Valve has ever made for only $7. On chapter 4 of my first time playing HL2, holy sh!t it’s really good hard to believe it’s 15 years old

LLLLoooooooovvvvvee that game. Favorite of all time.

What system are you playing it on?

[Djgb13 2,338]

Never played it but heard good things about it. Honestly just haven’t played many games lately. That’ll change when the new DOOM and Gears of War comes out

Half Life 1 was awesome. Half Life 2 was epic. I played HL1 on a computer. I remember playing at 2am and trying to peer around corners in the game as if I were actually in the game. It was pretty cool how immersed I was into that game.

I had never heard of it until it was like years old. By then I believe (i could be wrong so don’t hold it against me) I had a new console so I didn’t get a chance to play it and just never did

Whatever you do, do not mention the number that comes after 2. Doing delays it another 5 years

The Half Life games and the Mods that came with it were epic. Counter Strike is from the Half Life family. Half life 2 was one of my all time favorite games. Team Fortress Classic was the game I probably put the most hours into. Sniping with that little red dot and blowing people's heads off was so satisfying.

GGOAT

Orange Box was the greatest value of all time as well - 3 games that were A+ for the price of 1.  legendary

I remember when I first played original Half Life.  To this day I still vividly remember how blown away I was when I tossed a grenade around a corner and down some stairs.  Hearing a distant directional cry of "GRENADE!!!" surprised the sh1t out of me.  That's commonplace now, of course, but at the time that level of detail was amazing.

I’ll probably finish HL2 today or next weekend. Give it a solid 9/10. These guys were thinking of and doing things that no other developers were doing. So many small details I’m shocked it’s 15 years old. One thing I don’t like is there are no cut scenes and Gordon never talks. I do still like the CS series better, but that’s because I like multiplayer. 

Anyways if you guys want to play it Steam is having a sale right now you can get every Valve game for around $7 and it will run on any decent computer built in the last 10 years.

Not sure if it’s on PS4 but it’s on Xbox One so probably?

I spent much more time on Counter-Strike and Team Fortress Classic than Half-Life 1 and 2.

Team Fortress was so good. Once they started adding new maps and mods, it was even better.

What was your favorite player to use? I liked to rock the soldier and would use the medic if no one else did

Counter-Strike is the GOAT of FPS. Source is my favorite.

If it's not ADS I am useless. I couldn't get the hang of CS

Sniper for sure. Charge up that little dot and start popping heads

I liked day of defeat more than CS or team fortress when it came to half life mods.

Engineer. Between the sentries and the absurd EMP grenade that could kill enemies on the floor above you.

I spent some time on DoD but far less than on Counter-Strike. Team Fortress 2 was ridiculously entertaining.

Never played Day of Defeat but it came with the valve bundle, was going to try it this weekend.

HL2 sits 3rd behind Battlefield 1942 (1st) Battlefield Bad Company 2 (2nd) in my all time favorites.
