*Official* Halflife 2: Episode 2 (& Portal) Thread - SPOILER WARNING
- Thread starter platypus
- Start date
I personally don't judge the quality of the game by its length. I agree it could be a bit longer, but only because what was there was so good.
I agree, perhaps he could have been included a little, but tbh, he was one of my least favorite characters, so I doesn't bother me much.
Whilst I can't admit to going around the game looking for samey and repeated textures, I agree in retrospect there was some similar stuff. However, the new country look and trees are very much new and improved on what there was in the original and ep1.
This was the one that struck me the most! Bland?? These had the best views and levels of all the games so far! Ep1 for me got pretty repetitive, as it was basically HL2 continued in the same place. A change of scenery made it a lot more interesting for me
Agree with you to a point here, although it was no way as long as Ravenholm which I didn't enjoy much from the original, at I found it more enjoyable than the underground sections from Ep1.
Again, agree with you to a point, a few more enemies would have been nice, but its hardly a game breaker for me. The combine seemed to have have two skins, one blue eyes, another orange, which , although only a small change, made it slightly more interesting for me. I feel they should add more rebel skins though, and perhaps a few more zombie ones.
To be honest, didn't notice that at all.
Again, didn't really notice that.
I agree, the weapons do get a little repetitive, I was hoping for a new combine weapon or something to get my hands on, but ah well, can't have everything.
Remember that the valve team was split into 3 creating Ep2, Portal and TF2 at the same time, which was why it took so long to get out! Lets hope Ep3 comes out a bit quicker!
i think me and ep2 got off on the wrong foot which has given me some negativity towards it.
the first thing i saw when the game started was the river bed showing through the bottom of the train in what looked like nothing more then a clipping error.
i might play it again next week with a less cynical outlook.
adam baldwin as a rebel = awesome.
some of the character interaction was awesome such as the two rebels you meet while holding off the antlion's in the tunnels, nice banter.
'i got 10 of them!'
'we all got you idiot there was hundreds of them!'

I dont think I could have done the last level without using the car to run over the hunters guarding each stalker
Mr-Xoc
Nor me.
does make it easier, although i think those hunters have got less life then the first batch you meet.
a single rocket to the face dispatches them nicely as well.
'stalker at the old saw mill!'
[stalker destroyers old saw mill]
'stalker at what was the old saw mill!'
'no ,not the saw mill!, is nothing sacred?'

I played the game through on Hard difficulty and it took a good few rockets to kill them. In the end I just ran them all over
I didn't use the car at all, well except to get to the Sawmill to start the battle off.I dont think I could have done the last level without using the car to run over the hunters guarding each stalker

As soon as that happened, I backed off to the entrance to the silos and stayed there, within running distance of the nearest 3 spawn points for the "Magnuson Device".
Really? Adam Baldwin? Awesome.
Roll a grenade underneath the metal door, stand on it. Get the "Rocket Propelled Gordon" achievement
Near the start when you go into the room and Alyx sees a console and says she could use it to contact white forest or something, she then goes up onto a raised platform and throws down he Cable to put in the socket, it's under one of the things in there.
