Waited till 12 am pst last night to play and didnt go to bed till 2 am. Today I had an important test in philosophy at 8am which I more then likely failed. Have about 2 essays due tommorow that I havent even started on. I should of resisted the temptation to play :(

Not I... Maybe when I tire of Halo 2, I'll check out HL2. :)

Actually, I probably won't bother with HL2 until some good multiplayer comes out (no, CS doesn't count) or until I find a hella good deal. *shrugs*

I've been playing for like 15 hours straight!

Imo you are an idiot if you skip Hl2. It's simply the best game ever made so far, and i've tried a few. The graphics are amazing, the story is fantastic! And then you choose to play Halo2 over it? ON A BLOODY CONSOLE???

CS source is still fun man. When DOD comes out I might as well drop out of school LOL.

Have you played the origanal Tribes games? How bouts FarCry or System Shock 2? Those were my greats... I won't buy HL2 just to play single player. I don't like CS (no jetpacks = tehsuck), nor do I like DOD. I am not an idiot, it is just that another one of the norm gets boring.

If I'm an idiot, in your opinion... Then your opinion sucks. :p

I played Halo 2 for a couple of hours on Xbox Live with three good friends, and it was an absolute blast. The voice chat and online play beats the hell out of being hunched over my desk in isolation for hours.

I haven't played HL2 yet, but I highly doubt there's anything in the single player anywhere near as satisfying as jacking another players vehicle, and then running him over with it!

Like I said, I'm sure I'll check out HL2 eventually. It's just that I have other games to play now. :D

My gaming rig had a hernia last weekend; it's outta commission. I was like "Aw fvck, can't play HL2 on my crappy Presario 2100."

Guess what. I'm playing at 640x480. AND IT'S STILL BEAUTIFUL!

so what happens to people that only like racing or sports titles? They are just really stupid because they don't want to throw stuff around and shoot things? "Best FPS ever" maybe.

I am far to busy with Halo2 and NFS:U2 right now to play HL2. Maybe in a month or two.

It's better than Far Cry?

This coming from someone who was consumed by the original HL and all the expansion packs...but that was back in the day when HL "was it." I.E. there really wasn't much other cool stuff out. Except for DeusEX. I lovd that game!

I'm sure HL is very nice...but is it like Doom3? Lots of eye candy but 1/2 way thru you say "Man...this is pretty fcking repetitive!"?
