bearing in mind that i only played about half of the original half life and am two-thirds of the way through the sequel at present..
i will grant you that the basic "combat" isn't as "fun." i am putting these words in quote marks because i really don't know how to objectively judge an FPS game in this regard. however, hl2 has infinitely better setpieces, production, and jesus fucking christ narrative not only than the original, but than 99% of american videogames ever made, and probably 95% of videogames as a whole. |

You will really hate Portal then, stretch panic, since it only has one weapon!
HL2 is an improvement on HL1 in every way except pacing, as far as I'm concerned. |
i did stop playing for about six months in the middle of highway 17. |
