*SPOILER*
I am stuck on the Water Hazard level the part with the helicoptor dropping mines is just a nightmare as I only have 1 hp left. Should I just reload from earlier as that was also very hard. I am playing on normal difficulty and not easy, this game is amazing.

You know summat, am not impressed with the graphics at all, fary cry looks a lot better to me.

Having said that the game play is something else.

and wedge it does not get any easier

[Defiant]

Well far cry looks good but I think this looks miles better. Farcry is nothing but reflective surfaces and light colours. I though it sucked in doors.

[wedge22]

How cay you not be impressed with the gfx man, they are pretty amazing.

[Apex]

cos am not.

sorry to say but it does not impress on the gfx front.

The gameplay is there but the gfx look dated. Things just look bland to me. Yeah the people look better but still.

[wedge22]

Hey fair enuff everyones entitled to their opinions I guess.
It is bloody good though and bloody hard, can I even kill the chopper on the Route Kanal level?

[Kezzer]

cos am not.

sorry to say but it does not impress on the gfx front.

So the most graphically advanced game in the world just doesn't look good on the graphics front? Bit of a contradiction there?

[myth]

Click the OK button

Thaks! Very helpfull! But seriously, what does that mean?

[Stoo]

Exactly what it says, that there was an application error, when it tried to read from a memory address the information it was looking for wasn't there which caused a fatal error in the program, causing it to crash..

I have enjoyed HL2 but it is just an average game with a few spangly gimmicks. So you have to carry the bouyant barrels underwater and place them under the ramp to lift it up? Afraid to say it's just a gimmick, just give me a switch next time. If I were to score it, 6.5/10.
