  • No, there's a rocket launcher for rocket launching. The crossbow is there because it was in the first game and you can pin guys to walls (though not as cool as in Painkiller, it's still cool).

    • Beat the game after I got it earlier this week.



      Wow. It was a truly fantastic game and I think I loved every minute of it.

          • In the original HL, they sorta exploded.

              • The modding community is going to have a field day with this. One group is already making a Speedball 2 remake called sourceball

                Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

                • I'm actually pretty interested in a true HL1 Source mod, not just the crappy 5 minute one released by Valve. There are a few mod teams that are completely rebuilding the game with the Source engine. That should be pretty cool.

                      The term "source" is a bit confusing. Does this mean Valve has released the sourcecode for HL1?

                      • On the g-man:
                        Spoiler:

                        Is it just me or has the G-Man's speech changed radically? There. must. have. been a. series. of events. that, uh. altered him. He sounds like a bad computer synthesizer. And the logo is gone from his breifcase.

                        • Source is the name of the HL2 engine. That's why it's "HL1 Source".

                          • He has a different briefcase now indeed... but no, the speech is the same erratic speech pattern with weird stress and speed.

                            • I guess Black Mesa is over and he's upgraded his breifcase teleporter. Or finally cleaned the adhesive off ;-)

                              • OK, I just finished it

                                ...and was disapointed.

                                While I greatly enjoyed playing HL2, the game was unbelievably linear and I'm not sure how much replay value it has.

                                HL1 was a better game IMO.
