  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is Half-Life compared to Half-Life 2 like comparing Halo to Halo 2? I'm asking because I have heard from several people that Halo 2 isn't as good as Halo because it isn't the same and I'd like to know if Half-Life 2 is worth the nearly-$50 investement?

I never liked the Half-Life series in general. I didn't play Half-Life much to speak of. However, I thought it was a perfectly fine sequel. The weakest part of the game was the story, and that wasn't awful, certainly.

That is in my opinion, of course. :)

I couldn't really tell you because I haven't spent any time with the original Half-Life(other than a few hours on Counter-Strike).

I can tell you that I've played both Halos and Half-Life 2 enough to conclude that Half-Life 2 is a better game then them both. At least, that's my opinion.

I'm not sure if I'd say that it's worth a $50 investement though. I didn't think so...:holy: You could always wait until it comes down to $30 in probably a few months.

... that said, I have to say that Sid Meier's Pirates! is much more addicting. ;)
Sid Meier's games ARE worth $50 anytime though! I'm still play the various incarnations of Civilisation years after they come out.

Halo 2 is akin to Half Life 2 in the sense that many people were unhappy with the storylines, and conclusions of both games, feeling that they were just a middle chapter in something much larger.
The next games have to be good to redeem this fact.

HL 2 was a beautiful gaming experience, but it fell short. The only part I found really compelling was the urban combat at the end. If the whole game had been more like that, it woulda been wild. Knocking down striders was awesome.

Anyone else think the ending was awful?
