Half life 2 episode 2....anyone got it?

[Furyous]

I see it its now available, anyone got it and played yet ?

[gazza_3]

Where have you seen it if you dont mind me asking,i cant find it for the life in me and i well want it, and by the way All half life games as brilliant so if your worried about buying it, dont be its worth its weight in gold imho

[Furyous]

Its on Steam.They have had it for a few weeks, but its been part of a big bundle,now, however, its on its own for $22.

I love the whole hl series, and know its going to be good, just wondered if anyone else had got it yet.

Preloading as we speak via steam. I succombed to the Orange Box package as I wanted Team Fortress 2 as well. Been playing that for a week and have to say I am enjoying it more than CS!

TF2 is a winner.

Esp if you enjoyed TFC - many of the same maps revamped.

Particularly enjoying being an annoying Scout buzzing round people :-)

Been playing this today. More of the same with some tasty lighting effects of the glow bugs. Well worth it if you like this sort of thing.

To be highly comended as well is the game Portal. Very much a problem solving game with a HL twist. Good humour too!

Not started on Episode 2 yet but been having huge fun with Portal

Just "finished" Portal. Very amusing ending. First time I've watched the credits all the way through.

Once you complete you get to do advance levels which are the normal ones but "Really hard".

I want to download it all, but I've already got half the games in the orange box. Downloading them individually would cost more and I don't have the drive space to store all the doubles... eeep.

Same here, but HL2/EP2 is available on its own, Im half way through the download at the moment.

If you already have a game when you buy the orange box off steam then you can "gift" a licence to a friend via email. They can then download it pucker through steam. Was worth getting for HL2EP2 and TF2 alone. Portal is bloody good too.

[Parrot of Doom]

Portal is bloody brilliant. I loved the sentry guns and the things they said

"No hard feelings" when you kill them

"Are you still there" when they can't see you any longer

"AAAhhhhhhh...." when you chuck them into the abyss..


Hilarious, and quite a challenging set of puzzles. I can't wait to see if they'll tie Aperture science up with episode 3 to include the character we played.

Made me smile quite a bit, just before they killed me :-)

There is mention of appeture in episode 2 as competitors to black mesa

[rsv gone!]

I've only played about the first 10 minutes or so. I've been too busy getting my arse handed to me on Quake Wars....

Boyfriend has got it, played it, and finished it.

He says it's the best Half Life game yet.
