So, after several years of never having played this game, I gave it a run a few days ago. This game rocks - even now! I got this game last summer only to play CS, but I finally gave the single player version a shot yesterday.
I wouldn’t have installed it if Voets didn’t mention how HL was a great game a while ago on AIM. I also have Deus EX laying around with only the training mission completed. I hear that is great also.
[ot]I usually play games a few years after they have become popular. It’s some sort of a weird habit when it comes to playing games that I don’t really have any driving interest to play. I bought SC only two years ago hehe.[/ot]
I hear ya pr. Back when I was in HS, I used to play games all the time. I don’t have time to do that anymore. Good thing for summer breaks. After that I need to find myself a job similar to what most of you have here where I can surf the forums from work also
I work full time (design/IT), go to ASU as a full time student (15 cr/sem), cruise forums, design in my spare time, and STILL have time to get a good hour or so a day into gaming.
Deus ex is awesome… I love it how a mission failure doesn’t end the game… life goes on but deus ex 2 had an fps of 4 on this pc (gettin’ a new one in a few days… hopefully) and didn’t look that good… gonna try again whe ni get my pc…
Haha!
I just opened up my steam app today, to play some counter-strike, I just noticed that I have HL! I never really looked at the games that came free with steam, and I started playing HL, and man this game is great for being out for so long!!!
Steam is cool, but they need to fix it before they release HL2. Fortunately, Valve hired Bram Cohen (creator of BitTorrent) to help them improve the distributed net-code.
i never played half-life up until about 2 months ago. i got it to play CS also. i must admit it was quite entertaining for being an old school game. the last couple of levels were fun!
