Yes. Very. Got a new computer two moths ago, and bought HL2 the first day. HL2 was actually one of the reasons why I didn't buy a Macbook, and ended up with a Dell instead. I was not disappointed. Def the best FPS out there. Gonna finish FEAR now (nice game, but certainly no HL), and then buy Episode 1.

Episode one is fun, well worth torrenting, it is, however, a bit short.
The stuff that'll happen in episode 2 is what you spend your time during episode 1 waiting for. but it's still pretty fun.

I remember in HL2.. that "No one goes to ravelholm anymore" chapter.. jesus fucking christ that scared the fuck out of me.. I remember playing it in first year in college, actually letting shouts out of me when those rat bastard zombies would come back to life, etc.
the atmosphere is just brilliant. very effective and affecting.

The best thing about HL is the variation. I don't get the feeling that every level is the same like sometimes when I play Doom3 of FEAR.

yeah exactly... and even the fact that in HL2 that you're able to drive around in that hovercraft and the buggy (god that buggy kicks hole)..
it really makes the game a lot more fun

Love it and it's about time for my annual Half Life runthrough. I liked HL2 but something about the Black Mesa experience really stuck with me.

I once thought someone's Half Life logo shirt was an Aphex logo shirt. Oh, and Half Life is fun... Yay Half Life... Episode 2 needs to hurry up and come out, though!

Same thing. This guy at uni saw my Aphex shirt and said: "Wheey, Half-Life."
I said: "No, Aphex, but yeah I love Half-Life."

half-life 2 was the last game i bought for my PC. its a great, great game. the first half-life however, was even better. the best thing about it was TEAM FORTRESS CLASSIC. do people still play it? that was my life for a year or so. was in a few pretty decent clans and would love a blast now. shame i dont own it any more.

the revamped Team Fortress 2 will be coming out with HL2: Episode 2 (Valve is saying next summer, but they said Ep2 would be out last Christmas, so it'll probably be next Christmas).

HL and HL2 are fantastic games. The story is gripping, but the set pieces and relentless action make them truly exceptional. Episode 1 was sweet, but a little short. Episodic games may well be the future since they allow development teams to get content out there much faster. And for the HL series, this means a lot, since the only bad thing about the games are the constant release delays :)
And Portal looks like a lot of fun.

I enjoyed the game, though it's been a couple of years since I last played it.
Does anyone know of an fps with a nice story (and all the other elements that contribute to the nice-ness, i.e. graphics, controls ...) that is not mission-based (level 1,2, etc)?

the only thing that's ever really annoyed me about half-life was going to pissing Xen - gay, annoying levels.
this site is a bit anal - it's the HL story in full [so far?]...

It ages pretty well, even the AI for the marines holds up pretty OK.
Though I usually want to quit when I reach the Xen area before the thing with the sac on its belly. Xen does suck.

in slightlty related news, Gabe Newell, head honcho of Valve, has openly and royally pissed on the PS3:
"The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It's really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted," said Newell. "I'd say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a 'do over'. Just say, 'This was a horrible disaster and we're sorry and we're going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it.'"
