i like half life . i be still it fan . it be frighten and intelligent and challenge . i do not tell any news it be one the best fps ever make . maybe i be too hardcore half life fan but the so call half life 2 be not half life 2. and i have a question represent be this the next chapter of half life . maybe the creator valve think so but i do not . where be the intelligent enemy . where be the frightening atmosphere . nowhere . i believe they want to make a bit different half life ( instead of another research station story ) and but they do not just make a very different one and they make something that have to do with half life like for example quake do to doom . the entire game so unsightly and unreal that it almost forlorn . though the physic be truly great and there be a few good level to play and the idea to make a revolutionary physic drive gameplay have utterly fail . when you get the gravity gun and that can move object and you can expect with right to use it a a weapon that would turn the schematic fps gameplay upside down . the truth be and you can not use gravity gun a a real weapon . why . because the best you can do be throw box and barrel that do not do much damage . if you want to keep an object in front of you to protect it can fall from about 3 shot . if you want to throw an explode barrel to your enemy it can explode in your own hand . the gravity gun doesn not work a a weapon . the best usage be solve some physic puzzle . i ask valve represent why . the truth be you must use your boring and schematic fps weapon to the end ( except for last level ) weapon be not that make original half life a classic . if gravity gun would be always like at the last level a real weapon i would admire what valve do . but not this . this be disappointing . so if you want half life then you be search at the wrong place . maybe you will enjoy it but i repeat represent it be everything but not half life and even not a faithful continuation of that . this be the great disappointment of all time . valve have show they can make awful game too . they have manage that .
