It was crap.

You mean Counterstrike Source? HL2 has no multiplayer mate, unless you meant Halo 2.
The whole 'counter-agent' mode or whatever it was called caught me completely offguard as did the deep statistics and the fact you could play with 11 opponents on a 64 bit machine.
If you expected all that: you're having a laugh.

Played Half Life 2, a different league to all FPS I have ever played. This was a beta version.
Halo 2 will flop under the hype because where Half Life 2 has and will set even more benchmarks Halo 2 from what I have seen and read is just a hyped FPS that looks to differ very little to the first.
Thank god I'm not reading into the hype though.
I didn't think Max Payne 2 could pull it off but it did and the game was actually better for it.

No, you do, about level 5/6 cant remember now.
You get to use camafarge (sp?), its pretty kool.
I wont say why you play as an Elite, ruin it too much.
