Got the Orange box never played half life 2 before WOW best FPS ever

I never Thought much of half life 2 before, I remember back when halo 2 was out and half life 2 was out there would always be debates over which game was better, But the orange box had very good value So I decided to give half life 2 ago and I am blown away!!! even now it seems like it's the best FPS I have ever played,

All FPS seems like they have taken something from half life 2 and put it into there game because they just did so many things right!!Bioshock for example!

Oh and no contest half life 2 destroys anything halo and here I was thinking halo and cod were the best FPS you could get.

Ive never played Half Life before, I think ill buy it onOrange Box on PS3, despite what critics saytherealmcc0y

Also there are things in this that look exactly like the helghast in killzone 2 almost like they copied the thing,There are even things in this that look exactly like the flood in halo as well, everyone looks like the copied something from the half life games.

hehe, how far are you into HL2??/ Because I did the same thing as you TC, I bought the game having never played it.... got about 1/2 way through the game and it's started sucking so bad I couldn't be bothered to finish it..... I kept playing thinking oh maybe its just a level or 2 that isn't living up to the rest of the experience..... but NOPE! I played many more hours and still bored out of my mind....

I really can't figure out why people are so hot n horny about HL2, it started out great, but a few hours in, it falls into a rut and as far as I can tell, never crawls back out.

If you love Half Life 2 , I'd heavily recommend to get Episode Two. HL2: Episode Two > HL2 > HL2: Episode One.

I too have never experienced a HL game until I conscientiously decided to pick up the Orange Box after the hype. I like to describe HL2 as an action/adventure game disguised as an FPS. It's sort of a melding of my favourite genre's together.

It's not very good compared to Killzone and Killzone 2 will completely blow it away.CowboyR0y

You must be joking. What's Killzone but a constant shoot-em-up?

Killzone - 6.9 It's a functional shooter, but with a couple of extra coats of paint, Killzone could have been a whole lot better.

Killzone: Liberations - 8.3 Killzone is reborn in this consistently intense, periodically infuriating, yet undeniably enjoyable handheld tactical shooter.

On the other hand:

Half-life - 9.4 - Half-Life is the closest thing to a revolutionary step the genre has ever taken.

Half-life 2 - 9.2 - Half-Life 2 is a very impressive and engaging shooter, and a faithful follow-up to one of the greatest PC games of all time.

Half life 2 is one of the seminal FPS in my opinion, but i consider Deus Ex and the System Shock series very important.

Many elements popularized or created by the Half life series, Deus ex and System Shock have yet to be bettered in FPS, not to rag on Bioshock, because its an amazing game visually and atmospherically, but its very much System Shock 2 in an underwater city.

When one of the highest praised recent shooters is very similar to a game thats 8 or so years old, it says alot about how ahead of its time that game was.

You should play the original HL2. It's a good game, maybe gets a bit repetitive and Episode 1 is pretty awesome, maybe even better than Episode 2.
