People said it's my fault I played half life 1 first instead of starting with HL2 "like every normal person"
they are seriously telling me I shouldn't have started with the first game lol. Well after playing the first game it really showed how bad the second game was.
for once i agree a forgetton
the enemies in half life 2 had way too much loving health. no matter what difficulty you're on a normal enemy shouldn't be able to stand 6 shotgun blasts to the face. the guns also just aren't fun to use compared to both its contemporaries and the original.
ravenholm doesn't have a fantastic atmosphere. it's just dark. the zombies aren't something that comes as a shock either since 1) you've already encountered them, and 2) the first game's early chapters had a ton of them.
the vehicles control like total ass despite one of the episodes being 50% car driving. by the point that hl2 came out halo CE had already been out for a good three years, so it's not like we didn't know how to have vehicle controls in an FPS.
