Anyone else sad that it's all over?

[mortiz]

For everyone who's completed the game, are you sad that Half-Life 2 is over? That those 18 months of anticipation have finally come to fruitation?

Half-Life 2 was great and lived up to my expectations, but it feels weird that there's no Half-Life 2 to look forward to any more. I'm just praying VALVe get some expansions out to build on the game ASAP!

 

[Alientank]

I'm not done yet but I'm confident they will get expansions out, and HL3 won't take that long to make, not 6 years that's for sure oh and DOD source is out hopefully soon.

 

[guchi]

yeah

 

[MiccyNarc]

1000x yes.
I'm saddened that it's over now...
Where's HL3? *cries*

 

[PatPwnt]

The game didn't live up to my expectations. It's too much unlike the original game. No gore, no team killing, and where did all the weapons go?

there wasn't that much blood and guts but there was some pretty disturbing stuff, like when you go to Ravenholm and you see all of the bodies on spikes, I thought that was pretty sick.

There were too many weapons in HL1. It was a nightmare trying to dig through and find the one you want.

 

[mega maniac]

I thought the burnt bodies were sick, really gave the feel of shit creek to the place, and when you set a headcrabbed guy on fire the screams were awful, totally sickening, but amazing at the same time. I felt like i was setting a guy on fire for real, i only did it a couple of times, i mean i started to just hit them with the crowbar, or shoot them. I mean i felt sorry for a game character, he was in so much pain :'(

LOL Jesus...

You made me laugh.

 

[DrunkPanda]

one thing that annoyed me was when they are set on fire, WHY DON'T THEY DIE!? especially the headcrabs. at one point there were like ten headcrabs that had were engulfed in huge flames, and they were just chasing me around and finally ate me :frown:. so unrealistic and just stupid i think.

 

[Zento]

Is there a command to enable NPC-damage?

 

[Baal]

The game definetly could have used another rifle, or..smg..whichever.

Just something else to use besides the SMG and the Pulse Rifle Gun..

Also a sniper rifle..where's the sniper rifle?

 

[Thursday]

I didn't beat it yet but I really hope there is a a multiplayer released soon. I had an idea of rebels vs combine team based mod where both teams would attempt to destroy the enemy base building and could complete objectives to gain team specific vehicles and weapons. But eh, I don't know how to mod and Im kinda to too lazy to try.

 

[Baal]

Why didn't they include the XM-29 SABR OICW ?!

Sniper Rifle

What game would be complete without a large sniper rifle to zoom in on unknowing enemies? It's not yet known on the full specifications of this rifle but look forward to blowing Combine brains out from a comfortable distance. A nice and probably more satisfying alternative to this sniper rifle would be the crossbow, which has the fantastic ability to pin your enemies to the nearest walls - Painkiller style.

:\

Time to update.

 

[smsKONG]

I too am gutted now I've finished it, NOT because it was rubbish, but because it was brilliant. And now I feel all empty inside ;(

Oh and Baal, I was also a bit surprised at the ommission of the OICW, but I did manage to pin a poison headcrab to a wall, luck rather than judgement obviously but it's definitely possible (doubt you could pin anything larger tho....)
(the crossbow is very good for taking out antlion queens btw)

 

[Hyperion2010]

yes I am.

I really want a game centering in another combine controled world, or maybe another, with shepard in another city, to flesh out the story about the citidels and the invasion....

 

[Mac]

I couldn't believe i finished the game 48 hours after the game was released.

waiting for it for so long. and it's all over in 2 days

 

[Lanthanide]

yes I am.

Hmm, an expansion with Adrien set in a different city, City 14 perhaps would be excellent I think. Could start around the time that Eli gets caught (similar to the difference between HL and OpFor originally) and end sometime after the City 17 citadel is destroyed. Could be quite interesting in terms of story (if they actually put a story in it...).

 

[Rafa 5.0]

I haven't even gotten out of kleiner's lab yet at the beginning, haha, want to get more RAM so it runs smooth with everything maxed and I can get the full HL2 x-perience,
CS:S keeping me busy till then

 

[Osibe]

yes hl2 definatly had its disturbing parts, the most disturbing to me was if you look at the emolated corpses closely you can see clusters of fat left over on the skin bleh, like fight club

i pinned a combine soldier to a billboard in the sand traps level with the crossbow if you were wondering if anything larger than a head crab could be pinned

 

[Moto]

This is the reason why I play 1 chapter a day. The game is just too cool to rush through. I actually have thought about deleting all of my save games and starting over. I am on Ch. 8.

 

[deathryuu]

this may be the end of the SP story for right now(remember this isnt the end, hl3 is coming in a few years), but the beginning for the game has just begun. now let the mods come in!

Yeah, its kind of is sad because the person is not really dead, they just cant take back control of their body from the headcrab and they are being burned alive because of it.

 

[Moto]

Either I haven't gotten to the part where you use it, or just just not there, but where is that glock that they promised us? And the MP5K. Yeah I know...the MP5K was in 3rd person model for the MP7PDW, but didn't they promise us an MP5K and a Glock when those Hungarians toured Valve?

I'm downloading the Leaked build for the first time :O (sorry mods, please don't ban me). All throughout HL2's delays, I had the will power to stay away from it. I didn't want to spoil the physics or anything. It will be interesting to see the things that they left out and the things that they put in. Plus, I want to weld some things and Play the E3 levels in which I watched on Bink videos thousands of times, always wanting to see the whole map, not just parts. The download is slower than molasses in the klondike.

But OMG I love this game so much. Still have like 8 & 1/2 chapters left.

 

[Xac493]

I want hl3 now....... someone hurry up and make a mod

 

[Plug]

Yeah it's sad that it's over. I think i'll play through again

And god, those zombie screams... I really hated those, but loved them... of course.

I was happy with the amount of weapons and ammo you could carry. Perfect!

 

[Asuka]

It surpassed everything i thought a game could possibly have. I mean i knew it would be the best game of all time. I knew it would be perfect. But this is just simple insane. My jaw droped at so many parts of hl2. I couldnt believe my eyes. I mean how can you posibly think of some of that stuff. I am very sad the game finish but i am also very very happy. I got to play Half-Life 2 and beat it. Now we all wait for Half-Life 3 the finial chapter. I love the story i love valve for thinking of this great trilogy. I cant possibly imagine how valve will top Half-Life 2 off. We will wait and see.

 

[Moto]

There's only going to be one more? NOOOOO!!! They have to continue until Gordon is a old man and dies. Then they have to continue with Alyx or something.

 

[zapper]

Replay the game on hard, it will last a long time.

 

[Incoming]

Yeah, it sure feels a little awkward that the wait for the game is over.

There is a special feeling visiting and interacting on a forum each and every day, waiting alongside thousands of others who are sharing your own hype and anticipation. People gathering every ounce of news and information about the upcoming title, the reasoning about all the different aspects of the game, the shared joy as soon as a few more screens or a new video are released.

Problem is that, without a game like Half-Life 2 (or Doom 3), there'll be hard to find another upcoming title with as much hype and "meaning" as Half-Life 2 brought !

 

[B_MAN]

yeah im sad, JUST finished it
another fours years to wait

I can assure everyone there wont be a game as good as hl2. But there are some to look forward to.

F.E.A.R
Pariah
Quake IV
SWAT 4
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - Developer's Cut
Painkiller: Battle out of Hell
You Are Empty
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms
Serious Sam 2

Some of those just came out, some coming soon and some are far off but its something to look forward to.

 

[Hyperjag3]

Yep, I'm sad I finished it. Took me 23:25 on hard. Seems kinda weird that 6 years of work equals that, but it was the best game I've ever played. I guess it's time to start waiting for new HL2 content/expansions and HL3!

 

[The Mullinator]

I'm sad yes, but then again think of how much more we can start to get excited about now. HL3, expansions, mods, etc.

Off-topic: The only weapon I felt was missing was a sniper rifle. It would be so useful to me at so many points in the game.

Maybe someone will mod a weapon to have a scope, along with a slow and accurate fire mode.

 

[Mountain Man]

I'm pacing myself. It's stupid to anticipate a game for so long only to finish it a day or two after you've bought it. I'm taking my time and doing lots of exploring.
