What difficult are u goind to play Half-Life 2?

[InSaNe TuBaíNa]

Sorry if there´s already a thread like this, but i want to know if u are gonna play it in Easy, Normal or Hard mode. I always played hl1 on "easy", i never tried the normal and hard....

but i dont know about half-life 2... if the npc´s cleverness changes according to the difficult, than i´ll try it hard.. (don´t know if u can understand me, im brazilian)

in half-life 1 it wasn´t like this, was it? the A.I was the same thing in all difficulties? or not?

 

[gh0st]

easy, im a pussy.

 

[Moejoe]

normal. Btw, you should make this a poll...

 

[Lep]

Start with easy, then go play multiplayer till you're tired of it then come back and tackle the higher difficulties. :cheers:

 

[disruptioN_]

Normal. I always play SP games on normal difficulty for some reason.

 

[InSaNe TuBaíNa]

normal. Btw, you should make this a poll...

sorry.. i forgot.. can i do it now?

 

[63]

I'm going for 'Hard' first time through, normal the 2nd time so I can be a bit more easygoing, and explore more..

 

[hegele]

I'll probobly start with medium, even though I started HL with easy.

 

[Letters]

Normal... the way it's meant to be played.

 

[AgentXen]

Normal.....

 

[InSaNe TuBaíNa]

do u think i e-mail gabe about it (if the cleverness changes accorgind to the game difficult) or not? i sent him 2 e-mais and he ignored me.. do u think if a send him an e-mail he will answer?

He didn't "ignore" you, he's very busy..

 

[Shuzer]

Normal! I made a topic like this in the past.. but it's cool to see the results with new members

 

[Moejoe]

he already told somebody else what the difficulty settings will effect before, and it's in the info thread AFAIK. i'll check hold on.

-edit- right Here

 

[brink's]

Hard!, its the only difficulty real men play on.

 

[InSaNe TuBaíNa]

yeah i know.. and my question was very idiot.. i wanted to know if i would be able to play wirh fx 5200.. lol.. when i asked i knew quite nothing about hl2...

so, no matter if it´s easy or hard, the npc´s will pass through obstacles the same way? like the question of the other thread, when i drop some boxes in the stairs, they will pass it, independentment of the difficult?

 

[VeZ]

easy, and by then ill hopefully have a new graphics card, then ill play on normal

 

[slicktick]

Probably easy because I will be so giddy that I wont really pay attention and just try to get to the game fast. If not I will play it on normal, maybe.

 

[Moejoe]

i think they're path decisions wouldn't vary depending on the difficulty. But what do i know, i didn't program the AI. So the possibility of them taking 2 different paths of action depending on the difficulty is still open...

They'll act more aggresively in Hard mode, such as kickin a barrel back at you..

 

[DrEvil]

Hard. It makes the game more challenging and more fun. Unless of course, hard turns out to be ridiculously hard.

 

[Darkknighttt]

first time= easy. ill probably want to play it lots more so then ill try medium, then hard!

 

[dino_21]

normal...maybe easy first but its hl2 id rather play it with a more challenging surprise

 

[JATZ-MAN]

They'll act more aggresively in Hard mode, such as kickin a barrel back at you..

i heard if they come to a locked door
they push it in (easy)
they kick it in and hurt you if you are behind the door (normal)
or nad the ****er (hard)


could be wrong, wouldent be the first time

 

[B_MAN]

medium, to begin with
ive never played a game on easy in my life

 

[Janet Reno]

I will start with normal. I used to always do easy in games with the occasional normal, but now I'm pure normal!!



er, if they'll act more aggressive like kicking things at you... I will probably go on hard.

 

[DrEvil]

I never play any games at easy either. Normal and then hard. One exception was Caesar 3. That game I played on very hard, and that is the only way to play it.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

normal for me
i did play HL1 on easy first time through.. but after that it was normal and hard difficulties for me :E

 

[alan8325]

Normal or hard. Going through the game the first time is always the most interesting for me and I want to prolong it as much as possible. I will probably go through on normal first and then on hard the second time to see what differences there are.

 

[sHm0zY]

I will play Normail beat the game then try multi palyer.

 

[Shuzer]

Hard, in my experience, makes games more tedious and thus making them more annoying, discouraging me to beat them. I never beat FarCry simply because "Realistic" was SO GOD DAMN ANNOYING
/me rips his hair out at the thought of having to play through HL2 like that

 

[<RJMC>]

I will play it in normal first
and maube when I feel "prepared" I will play it in hard

also Insane Tubania you are not the only latinamerican
I am from venezuela, and I speak english cuz I dont know if you undrestand spanish

 

[nostra]

I won't play single ... I'll head straight to multi

 

[oldagerocker]

I loved Ceasar 3, until i got to the level where they come and attack you quite early with elephants and hundreds of troops... hmm, i think il reinstall it, great game :cheers:

 

[Burn]

Normall, game might be to hard first time on hard on, and too boring on easy.

 

[lans]

Bad choice.:x

The SP is what I've been waiting for ages, want to see what source can showcase - want to see a proper story-based FPS. MP is prolly cs:s, meh. :hmph:

 

[Some_God]

Ill play normal... dont want it to be choir like HL1 on hard.

 

[The Monkey]

Why do you guys always asume that everything will be just like HL1. How do you know that the diffuculties will be Easy, Normal, Hard?

 

[AJ Rimmer]

I'll play on easy. Or crowbar level, whatever its called.
