Half life 2 is the long anticipated sequel to half life, a first person shooter video game that truly raised the bar for FPS with cinematic gameplay, From the very start of half life 2 you are pulled into an immersive world with believable and memorable characters, wonderful gameplay and a story that will leave you hooked from start to finish, Half life 2 is a work of art and even once you've finished the game it's just as fun the second time around. You take the role of Dr Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist and the protagonist of half life. The world has changed dramatically since the time between the first and second games; the world has been enslaved by an alien force known as the combine or the "universal union" It takes place in an Eastern European city which is now known as city 17. Gordon’s initial task was to work with the resistance in scientific matters, but that changed as the combine launched an attack on black mesa east, a resistance base in the outskirts of city 17, launching Gordon into a fast paced adventure filled with headcrabs, buggies, striders and antlion taming.
Half life 2. need i say more?
A game so revolutionary they forgot to make a sequel
Person 1:hey wait ever happened to half life 3 Person 2:idk man I think they forgot Person:but half life 2 was so good Person 2:yes,yes it was
In my opinion, the best game ever. sure, its not as exciting as having a horde of zombies run and attack you like in l4d2, but it has good graphics, good gameplay, really superb storyline, and really good AI and whatnot. many mods were created off of this game such as garrysmod and half life:riot act. most people compare it to halo 2 because they think that because they dont own one of them makes the one they do own the best. half life 2 also has a online deathmatch, called half life 2 deathmatch. the game starts off with the main charecter, gorden freeman, waking on a bus. he then goes around kicking things asses and then takes a stunstick to the face, then leading to him and alyx vance meeting. and then, to sum it up, a ton of storyline and shooting at aliens. im not going to tell you because you should have or be planning to own this game.
person one: did you get half life 2 yet? person two: no. gorden freeman: *proceeds to kick person two's ass.*
Waste of $50. Boring SP, Boring MP.Only the last 1/3 of the game is ok. Even that is boring. Graphics are OK compared to Chaos Theory
I played it, beat it in a day on hard. Multiplayer got boring in a day. Good Multiplayer game= Halo 2. Good single player game = Halo 1.
The best thing to happen to computers since the cd-rom drive!
"HL2 is un-fucking-believable!"
a badass game for PC that has the best physics engine ever. i do wish that all of you jackasses would quit compairing it to halo 2. those two games are in completely seperate realms of each other. PC's and consoles are totally different. both games are great in their own right, but trying to compare the two is like saying that a certain book is better than a completely different movie. thats fucking retarded.
you can get it at walmart or anyplace that sells video games
