Halo 2 beat, bring on HL2
Tomorrow night at midnight I will be in geeky-nirvana. My pre-cache on steam has been mocking me, but I’ll show it who’s boss in due time.
Here is the game plan for tuesday morning (monday night in my book):
12:01am - Finish downloading HL2 final cache
12:03am - setup my controls and video options (if it doesnt keep them from CS:S)
12:04am - begin playing the could-be greatest game of the year (if not ever)
12:20am - pause game play and reflect on how truely great this game is
1:00am - close HL2 and fire up HL:S to see what’s new.
2:00am - go to sleep and dream about more HL2.
and that’s it until christmas break. I have so much school work that I can’t get sucked into it before finals are over. I think I might explode.

Sounds great, but I didn’t think that HL:S is going to be available for a while ?

P.S. — I think Russ is right, I’m not sure HL:S will be switched on at the same time as HL2. Same for DoD:S.

What a great game! I’m really enjoying it so far. I haven’t had a lot of time to play it, so I’m only just about done (I think) with Water Hazard. But damn, what a fantastic level. Some parts are really heart pounding, but there are also the excellent moments when you have to stop and think and solve a clever little puzzle.
Great game so far. Easily the only FPS I’ve really enjoyed for the single player since the first Half-Life. Also, here’s hoping they update and port natural selection. Best mod ever.
