when will Black Mesa source come out?

Even without playing HL1, HL2 was very fun. Like Failmetal said it is one of the best fps story lines I have ever seen or played.

I liked ep 1 and 2 more but hl2 is longer. Don't wait for black mesa, I played hl2 before hl1 and it was good.

Yeah, HL2 is a pretty good game. The graphics are a little dated now, but that shouldn't stop you from having a good time.

You sir need to get out more.

You guys don't fucking need to play HL1 to play HL2, aside from a few quotes here and there you are not missing anything. I still recommend getting HL1 because they are both incredible games.

I think HL2 is a very good game, and has one of the best game storylines out there. Definitely a must buy, although the graphics are a little dated, as previously stated.

playing hl2 before hl1 misses a lot of plot points, so don't listen to these people. unless you look at htw wiki plot.

Yes, It will keep you entertained for awhile. If you do end up getting it, I'd recommend getting Episode 1 and 2. Also don't forget the cool mods steam has to offer.

Half life: Two is the greatest game of the Decade.

Short answer yes.

I got around to finishing it and realized the puzzles/etc are really lacking in other fpses which made hl2 unique, plus ravenholm level was madness.

Not gonna lie, I only bought it for CS:S. Didn't even play it for like the first year I had it. Pretty good time waster though.

As Metal that has Failed said. Best story ever. Play Episode 1 and 2 too, they are worth the money and be amazed.

Now that you mention it, it would be good for them to get Ep 1 and 2 as well. If they do, they should just get the Orange Box, which includes HL2 along with Ep 1 and 2.

Models suck on cinematic mod and it changes lot of things than just graphics.
