So after years of torment. This includes delays, surprises, leaks, lawsuit, and disppointments, I was wondering if Half-Life 2 even existed! So now I finally have it, and I have to say one thing.
This is the greatest FPS I have ever played. And YES, I have played ALL the really good ones: Half-Life, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Halo 1 and 2, Doom 1, 2, and 3, All the quakes, all the Unreals, Duke Nukem 3D, Deus Ex, Battlefields, Rainbow Sixes, Clive Barker's Undying, Marathon, Counter-Strike, Far Cry, all of them.
I can clearly state that this sits on top of all of them. I'm leaving fanboyism behind and I'm telling you that this game will be copied by other games in the future, but everyone will know that it's Half-Life 2 that started the whole "physics gameplay"
I'll have my review up for the game as soon as I finish it.
Get this game, that's an order.
