Currently Replaying Half-Life 2 Again

By dementedhut · July 15, 2006

Some quick thoughts:

-Using the pistol in Route Kanal is actually quite fun. When I first played that level, I was annoyed with it and couldn't wait to get my hands on a machine gun.
-I forgot how fun it is to see the various ways combine soldiers die. Watching them fall to their death from a platform is always a fun moment, and I'll never get tired of running over soldiers with the hovercraft.
-Water Hazard gets boring as hell a lot.
-The magnum kicks ass.
-The crossbow kicks more ass.
-Anticitizen One is a bitch to play sometimes because your teammates get in the way a lot, especially in small hallways and cramped rooms.
-The machine gun kinda sucks. I can't believe I equipped this weapon so much when I played through HL2 the first time.
-That's it.

I think I'm the only one who likes the water hazard level. I can see how it might get boring on a replay, but sailing around was awesome the first time.

Yeah, it was mostly fun the first time. It still has a lot of good moments, though. It's just... not really a favorite level of mine.
