I was jus wondering what your favorite part of Half-Life 2 was (Not including the episodes).

My favorite part was either the firsthalf of Raven Holme where your just shooting stuff like saw blades, exploding barrels, or cinder blocks off of your gravity gun killing those crazy zombies in half, awesome. Or it was the second too last level "Our Benefactors" when you get the super powered gravity gun to shoot bodies around, and that was just one of the greatest things in gaming right there. Or it was "Follow Freeman" where you got some real good puzzles early on and than fought those tall walking things (I can't believe I forgot what they were called can anyone help me out with this) with rockets outside along side some other resistance fighters, and than go throuh this really fun and intense part of runing through broken buildings while being shot by combine soldiers and those tall wlking things until you get to a really fun fight on a roof and take those things down (also the appearance of dog at the end makes it better). Anyway what was your favorite part in Half-Life 2?

Ya, that was cool...it was like a bombed-out city during WWII. Seeing that strider charge up its cannon (RRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrwhooooooosh BAAAAAAAANG!) and seeing the visual distortion effect was just awesome. That was a real "dear in the headlights" moment for me as I was right in the path of the gun and died from it. It was just cool.

I loved the helicopter chase section (when you're in the hovercraft), the bit where you're leading the antlions, and any of the end-game city sections.

I like the whole feel of the game. But the best bit is the start I think :P

Has to be the first level when you get off the train and just explore let alone mess with the guards to only get attack by a nightstick, truly a classic moment for me.

Probably the opening twenty minutes. I love how dystopic and desperate everything is. The combine soldiers look cool, the world is very oppressive and I got a strong impression that I was in a world afflicted by some terrible twisted form of martial law. And then immediately, we're thrown into a series of cool OH GOD sequences where we desprately try to escape, completely unarmed.

A great introduction.

My other favourite moment is best summed up as F5 + suitzoom + Alyx's buttocks.

i enjoyed Ravenholm the best i think...or that chapter where you fight the striders.

Ravenholm was real eerie and haunted...felt like resident evil, i love that kind of atmosphere.

Yeah, I gotta agree Ravenholm was sweet, as was the strider area. I also really enjoyed the lighthouse helicopter battle and the bridge you have to cross under to disable the forcefield and fight a helicopter. Good stuff.

definitely the first part of the game, when you first 'interact' with npcs. they stare at you, make a comment, look back down, and if you continue to stare at them, they start looking at you uncomfortably. i was blown away by how real their eyes looked, how real their expressions were. as for gameplay, my two favs were when you're in that prison and the combines storm in at you and you have 3 turrets to help you fend them off. i also enjoyed the part where you fight 3 or 4 striders. another part i liked a lot was the first time you face off with the antlion boss, at the prison. when it stormed in the room, i was like, 'holy ****,' and just started running!

Playing with DOG for the first time was a blast for me.

The first time you see a strider casually walking down the street.

Man, if I could play one game series over for the first time again it would be half life for sure.

There were many parts that I really liked, but if i had to choose, i would say that either Ravenholm, or when the grav. gun changed so that it could shoot and carry people. Both of those parts were pretty awesome

Yeah! It's amazing how many great parts this game has. It's not flawless, but almost. One of the best PC games ever!

The first part of the game was awe-inspiring in graphics, atmosphere, and so on.

After that, I would say that the part where you have to set up sentry guns and fight off wave after wave of Combine soldiers was very memorable.

Mine was when i presses "Quit". I hate Half-Life and I hate Steam. Both IMO have better options in each categorie (Halo and xFire) I HATE HL!

The best moment was during route canal for the first time, with choppers on my tail and the huge chimneystack coming crashing down across the causeway. It looked magnificent. I somehow survived it, too.

I dunno if this was in half life 2 or episode 1, but does anyone else here remember when you went through the hospital with alyx and she was using the shotgun? I just let her do most of the zombie killing and she killed most of them by herself. I didnt like her much at first, but shes pretty badass later on.

oh yeah he was awesome, did he die or not? I stood there watching him kill tons of zombies but he never died. Maybe he will have a cameo in episode 3:D

Anticitizen One/Follow Freeman sequence. Sticking it to the Combine in City 17. That was just unforgetable. Side note: "Anticitizen One" has got to be the coolest chapter/level title ever.

There was a part during the hoverboat sequences when Combine guards spot your vessel and seal off the giant gate that lies before you. So you pull your boat around to the back door, storm in, kill everyone, open the gate and head off on your way. I just felt like a total badass at that point. :)

First: Ravenholm. With shotgun in your hand and a zombie coming at you... Is there a more better feeling than to blow the headcrab off the zombies head with the shotgun?

Second: The last parts of Follow Freeman. Enough striders to the end of the world.

Third: The obliriation of th portal Breen is using to escape.

Yea, the "intro" is one of the best I've ever seen in a game. It's just perfect.

When i arrived to a destroyed town,i was recalled by a group of resistance to help them out with a partucular situation.One black person gave me the bazooka.When danger approached,i fired a missile to an air transport vehicle.BOOM!! The suprise came when a "npc" approached to my situation,he threw the same missile as i did at the same direction knowing that the air transport was already destroyed!!! After that,i proceeded to uninstall "Half Life 2".

I love the scene were you drive and pull over to invade a couple of towers to open up the way past the trains, it felt really hectic when the chopper began shooting and i like had to run on the not-soo-solid bridge thingy. I also love the beginning, the end, and everything in between except for the boat chase which was not on par with the rest of the game.
