Probably the exclusive Half-lify feeling
And I just want to experience the intense combats in the streets of City 17, screenshots of the city just looks so goddamn real. I also look forward to do all the things in the binks, like the graveyard with Father Gregori and the Tenements bink. Awwww I cant wait till the sixteenth...
That's what drew me into HL1. I expected to just be "dropped" into some location and the battles begin, but got a wonderful prologue and real plot instead.
Can't wait to see how we get from the end of HL1 to the start of HL2.
The modding tools, I cannot wait till the source hammer editor is released. As for hl2 itself, the opening sequence, I know the train ride will be something special, I just expect the same as in the original hl, just 10x better. Oh ya, and the shotgun, the explosive barrels, the striders, and on and on.
Halo 2 can't actually be the best fps ever, since it's the EXACT SAME as Halo. Even if Halo was somehow able to garner a stance as the best FPS ever, that would only make Halo 2 joint best. Which is not as good as best.
Regardless, you're talking out your ass. Grab a noose and head to Camp KillYourself.
I am also looking foward to the opening sequence, althought it was sai that it is a shorter train ride then the first one, because they wanted you to get right into the action. There is credits rolling like the first one, which made the begininng very movie like, very cool. The trainstation alone is about 5 big levels so there is plenty going on right there. If I am not mistaken the tenaments level is part of the trainstation level
