Updates to Half-life 2 series

[sygnus21]

Seems to me it's on the same schedule as Half-Life 3

Same here...although I really hope HL2 EP 3 comes out as I can't wait to see GlaDOS and Alyx witty remarks to etch other

Pretty sure we will see Portal 2 before any new Half-Life bits. If only Valve didn't waste time on that damn L4D series. Has to be the most repetitive game out there, no idea how it got so big.

 

[sygnus21]

Didn't they tell you... killing Zombies is all the rage now. From TV to games

Don't worry, I don't do L4D either.

 

[kucing13]

zombies everywhere and agree with sygnus.. blood etc.. I'm sick,vomiting

 

[Everlong]

My predictions were right. :shock:

Though I'm having fun doing the achievements on HL2. Going through Ravenholme only using the grav gun was a whole different way of playing.

 

[sygnus21]

Man I loved that level but I don't know If I could do it grave gun only

 

[Everlong]

I haven't played through it for quite a while now, and I didn't think it would be that bad. Started off fine and was thinking it won't be too much problem. Ran in to poison headcrab and that's when I knew it won't be so easy.

Then the fast zombies came and it was insane haha. It was worse than carrying that gnome through the whole of Episode 2.

i gave thumbs up for that ravenholem "they don't go to ravenholme" was it? the environment succes,quite scary for me. dark and with headcrab and advance zombie(can jump,climb the roof) .Its adrenaline rush

 

[sygnus21]

Once I finish tinkering with my system upgrades i'll give the series another go.

 

[kucing13]

refresh back those memories

If you do ever fancy zombie killing then Killing Floor is much better than L4D in my opinion. That said, it does get very samey very fast too.

My last replay of the Half-Life series I got the the part where you've got to set up the turrets and survive the waves of Combine. It was on hard and well... Damn, it was hard. Can't remember if that bit is in HL2 or one of the Episodes but I gave up there. Keep meaning to go back.

Never heard of Killing Floor. Do they have single player mode?

Don't think so, I played 4 player co-op, it probably just has single player with bots. It's essentially the same idea as L4D but they came up with the concept first as far as I know. It's not as polished as L4D but far more fun in my opinion. Me and the guys I played with had a blast with it, where as I only played the L4D campaign through twice and was sick to death with it and never picked up the 2nd.

You can pick it up on Steam pretty cheap.

...not a great deal there, but it's good to see that valve still cares about its old games.

(...or is it only because they are now trying to sell those old games to mac users?)

That was a hard level. Though there are some good hold up places to knock off some soldiers, you also need to move around

And I think that level is in Half-Life 2. Can't remember now.

Yea it's in Half-Life 2 at Nova Prospekt. Just been through there. It is quite a hard part.

I'm about 7 achievements away from doing all of them in HL2
