Ok, I'm in Nova Prospekt after fighting the two gunships (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRR......) and fighting the large Antlion. How long till the end of the game. Citadel is the last level (as I've juts read in a "rasing the bar" article) but how many levels to go?

No spoliers please.

Just read that the Hydra has been removed from the final game too. darn, was looking forward to seeing that....

You've got a whole section through City 17 to go yet, one of my favourite sections of the game in fact, though I won't spoil you with details, just to say it's not as calm as it was at the beginning of the game.

I think I'm about halfway possibly more through the game, I've just got the gravity gun and loving it.

I'm about 1/2 through Nova too. The easiest way to find out how far you have to go is from the start go New Game, and it lists where you can start from. There's 15 chapters and NP is about #8 or #9 I think?

Ahhh, didn't think of starting a new game. It's not number one on my "must know" list, but I was just curious. The return to C17 I've seen videos of. Mmmmmmmmm.

I'm amazed that the game still manages to suprise me every time I'm feeling as if I'm getting a handle on it. In fact I'd say that the combat is the most satisfying I've played in a FPS full stop. MoH, CoD, FarCry etc, since the first Doom.

I have to say, half the time it's great. The other half I can't see what people are on about.

I loved the Sandtraps section, and the Alcatraz style prison bit. Sending off all those Antlion's to kill guards, flinging them off towers and acting as diversions for mounted turrets. Pity you can't use them for the rest of the game though.
