Half-Life 2 Released

Posted by alpha at 10:30 16/11/2004.

Half-Life 2 has at last been released, and the general consensus appears to be that it's very good. Please try and keep the spoilers in the comments to a minimum, as not everyone has got it or had a chance to play it yet.

Of course this also means there's a big bunch of people who've just played CS:Source for the first time. Anyone with thoughts on that, please share away!

ryano, they'll add them when DoD Source and the back catalogue come out I would of thought! They only have a few on release because it's basically a BETA, nothing more. I've had the silver package for a few weeks now since CS:S came out! HL2 is preloaded so i'll see you next year ;D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I'm a bit worried about how short the game could be too. I've only played it for around 3 and a half hours this morning before uni, and I've already gotten through about 5 of the 15 chapters. Although admittedly, the last chapter took almost as long as all the ones before it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
