Well, Gordon DID have a longer game :D

PC Action Magazine said it was 33% as long as Half-Life.

Half-Life: Opposing Force was also called a "new episode." http://www.mobygames.com/game/half-life-opposing-force/cover-art/gameCoverId,27470/

It was said to be 33% the length, but your milage will vary of course. I explored and looked into every nook and cranny I could find and still beat Half-Life 2 in 11 hours by first time through. (Did it in one sitting, too :D) But for other people it might have taken them more or less time.

Lost Coast is a new, free, level based off of cut material from Half-Life 2, and designed for high end systems (Like with a top of the line graphics card). Along with higher poly characters and higher resolution textures, it will also feature new HDR (High Dynamic Range) lighting. This is...

Did we really need yet ANOTHER thread on this topic? Serously. Anywho, I wouldn't mind seeing Shephard again, but I'm not going to slap a "pro-shephard" label on me just to stick it to those who don't like Shephard. I'm Pro-Half-Life.

I couldn't find any recent announcements about it on the page (Just the press release and a thing about Gearbox's opinion on it) and they have no forum. :S Anywho, Blue-Shift was extremly good for what it was: a level pack with a new coat of paint. It was short, but it what was there was...

Not my fault that x40 of your arguments were “We shouldn’t have Shephard for reasons that apply to Freeman as well” Shephard and Freeman started off roughly at the same level (Game length non-withstanding, they both had about the same amount of “story,” which is to say a few lines of text at...

IIRC, HL2source got pissy because they couldn't deal with the new Hammer editor and cancled the project. As for Blue Shift not being on Steam, I actually think it boils down to the timing when Blue Shift came out; it was right in the middle of when Valve was putting together Steam and they...

On that note; why should we have played as Gordon Freeman? Shouldn't you be complaining about losing the opportunity to play as a totally different character because of the nostalgia for Freeman? :rolleyes: Like Gordon only works when he's a scientist in the middle of a accident at his job in...

Tough call; Half-Life 2, for my money, was the best 11 hours of gameplay I've had in a long, long time. However, Half-Life 1 was, and still is, one of the greatest games I've ever played. I like it so much that I've beaten it like 17 times. (Somewhere around there; I lost count awhile ago.)...

He was detained by the Gman; ergo whereever the Gman goes is a possible place for Shephard to be put if it suits the Gman's purposes. I'd imagine that if something major happened while Gordon was in that 7 day transport, or while was otherwise occupied or indisposed, yanking Shephard out of...

Actually, the Gman "had you" do nothing; he just dropped you off on the train and the rest played out itself. We don't know if anything Freeman did was specificly part of the Gman's plans since never actually gave Freeman any orders nor made his wishes known. Maybe he wanted to help humanity...

You mean like Freeman?

More official Half-Life is always good. Period.

Hey, they can't all be gems. We've gotten a weekly update EVERY WEEK since February. I'd say that means Valve deserves a freebie. At least they bothered to put SOMETHING up.

He sucks just as much as Freeman... (As much as voiceless, pesonalityless character that the player is supposed to superimpose himself onto CAN suck) I'd say he sucks as much as Calhoun too, but Barney got some great lines in Half-Life 2, so he's a step or two higher than Freeman and Shephard. :D

Just a FYI, those magazines are put together months and months in advance. Anywho, Valve being Valve, they really aren't that spectacular at meeting release dates for large projects (Small projects like the new DM weapons and maps or Counterstrike updates, they can usually meet, but they've...

Deleting the client registry blob file also helps, IIRC.

I quite frankly couldn't figure out what the hell you were trying to say, nor how it was relevent to the conversation. I never said that the lack of mention of several things in Half-Life 2 proves the Xen-Combine theory, ergo I couldn't figure why you'd be arguing about it unless you were still...
