Just played through HL again...

...and one thing that I never liked about the original was that there were too many platforming areas; I always prefered the action shooting areas.

Do you guys think Valve will have less platforming areas in the sequel? There haven't been many in the videos we have seen, but maybe this is because jumping doesn't make a great vid.

it will prolly be in there, all games have that gay area put into them, dont know why, its nearly in all the FPS.
but, HL got it ok because you could really feel the jump, not like in other games where it was like jumping on the moon and had a delayed reaction to it, bleh its all sad though.

I've never particularly minded a certain amount of jumping, so long as it's in context...
