QFT!

couldn't have said it better myself...

[starbum]

Hello, yes!

[DaShiznit]

I've had sex with the CD on multiple occasions, and I've petitioned my congressmen to legalize Man-Electronic Device marrige.

[MrPaul]

It's a bit short. (Several PSUers have completed it, and I'm near the end, and I've not even been playing aggressively.)

[Spee]

Don't. I say this only to balance out all the "yes" comments. No, I havn't played it yet.

What about multiplayer?

[MrVicchio]

Multiplayer?

Thats CS Source, and it rocks as well.

[ReTrY] Mr.Vicchio, 4 year+ member and if you think you can hang, bring it on, name the time and the server :P

[OfaLoaf]

But does HL2 itself have a multiplayer, or is CS:S it, or is it something my pitiful mind isn't fully grasping?

[JetRaiden]

if you're dumb enough to even ask such a question, then you don't deserve to own a computer.

I don't own one! I'm borrowing this from Sven, the Drunkard of Stockholm.

Is this a joke thread?

[Biohazzard56]

I think the original talking point on this thread is serious but due to hijacking it seems like a joke. Now to get back to the original matter in question, Half Life 2 simply owns. The Single Player is roughly 16 hours long or so I hear, I think im about 2/3rds of the way though the game. The Multiplayer component (Counter Strike Source) is great but CSS is even better if you never even player Counter Strike because, CSS is just a rehash of CS. But its a great rehash with new physics and gameplay mechanics. There are also the mods, Half Life 1 had the greatest mod community of ANY game and Half Life 2 wont dissapoint. And with Day of Defeat: Source coming out soon, you cant go wrong with Half Life 2.
