Oh and shooting strange butt fungus as well.
It won't be Half-Life 2 but then no one expects it to.
The first one was just a good FPS, with a strong storyline to it...
Try downloading the two 30 + minute walkthroughs.
The physics system looks revolutionary and the AI looks utterly unbelievable. I really can't be jacked to explain it all, not that it needs it.
I have no intention of getting it as there's no chance my PC will run it.
I'm not taking anything away from HL2, but I find it very difficult to get excited about games now, as I don't like to be let down. Project Gotham 2 was a real let down for me, and I've not hyped anything up since....
I haven't hyped Halo 2 for similar reasons to yourself, a shed load of games in the past have been ruined by hype.
There are very few games I get excited about, Half-life 2 is one and Xenosaga 2 the other, the rest just come and go.
That's age that has done that more than anything else. 4-5 years back I would have really looked forward to Halo 2 can't build the enthusiasm these days.
