"Half life 2 :0)"

yeah half life 2 coming to xbox the screenshots look very good this game reminds me of alien a bit except the actuall alien u get those little things that attach themselves to peoples heads thats the same as alien can't wait for this :)

you think it will be good ?

www.pless.co.uk have Trust 5.1s for £34.06. Dont know about the quality though.

The jumping was only bad in the Zen alien levels.


Balanced out by such atrocities as the library.

Library was close quarter fighting with the flood. But lets not go down that road again. :)

Library was good at first, got so bloody repetetive by the end though.

I found it the most difficult level of the game. So they did something right. :)

Libary was gay.

Half Life was'nt that good anyway (in single player)

uhh, yes it was.

Well in my opinion it was'nt.

Too many jumping parts.

FPS games have moved on..

(Recieved the DVD's WS?)

Some of it was good, fighting the soldiers in places was enjoyable but I found the majority of it to be rather tedious.

Deus EX is one of my favourite games of all time but I can't understand why people compare it to Halo and Half Life?! Its further away from those two than Metroid Prime is from Halo. Deus EX is in the first person but the shooting is very below average. What makes it so special is the RPG elements and the fact that you can choose how you play the game and how your decisions alter the story. Its absolute genius on the PC and although the PS2 version is still very good it isn't on the same level as the PC version.

A few people are saying that Halo 2 won't match Half Life 2 and Doom 3. However the last Doom which was any good was released more than 6 years a go. Halo was only released in the UK a little over 1 year a go and I think in terms of modern games we know what Bungie will deliver. The fact that Half Life was released quite a while a go leaves the thought in my mind about whether the game will deliver.

I don't want a new experience in a First Person game and thats why I enjoy Halo so much. Its a FPS game in every sense and although the vehicle addition was an original idea the rest of thebgame is pretty much how you would expect. In a FPS game I want big guns, lots of blood and an increasing difficulty which requires a set level of skill. Anyone has played Halo on Legendary will know that you couldn't ask for anymore in a FPS game.

Half Life 2 and Doom 3 will hopefully provide these elements which will make then fantastic in my opinion. However with Halo 2 I honestly think it will do something which will make people see the FPS genre differently. Don't ask me what because I aren't sure as of yet. However sometimes I get gut feelings and I honestly believe that Halo 2 will better what Doom 3 and Half Life 2 do and do something new for the FPS genre.

All 3 will do their best to be the best. However I feel Halo 2 will be the winner. Mark my words on this...
