There were a few moments which I found to be a bit annoying, but these were short and very few. However, I wondered what were these that looked like dynamite cartridges, I couldn't pick them up because HUD displayed I already had a full stack of them but yet weren't selectable weapons.
Closer to 8-12 hours I think, not 4-5 hours or otherwise I would have finished the game yesterday and not today. Still, I think the price isn't too high though, especially because Ep1 is quality stuff IMO.
. Not going to really give anything away here, but that little feature comes in EXTREMLY handy in the second chapter.
one has to ask the question why this game is so much faster (on older hardware) than a game like oblivion when the graphics are actually better in Half Life 2 than they are in oblivion.
Nah, these weren't flares. These were three tubes stuck together like dynamite cartridges usually are. Also, flares do not activate your HUD inventory icons but these did.There were a few moments which I found to be a bit annoying, but these were short and very few.

Those, I believe, are actually flares. You can use them to light the zombies on fire, which in turn, creates another light source. Not going to really give anything away here, but that little feature comes in EXTREMLY handy in the second chapter.
i loved it played through in 2 days, had to activate god to get on the lift though :/
The buildings might be somewhat more detailed in Oblivion, (not really sure I agree with that) but look at the characters. Alyx alone looks and acts a thousand times more realistic and better than any single NPC you're ever going to meet in oblivion.
i did most of chapter 2 without ammo, just using the flares and alyx's machine-pistol to get through (cause wtf, she can't be killed :wtf: ) ...

I haven't confirmed it myself but it was mentioned somewhere that she can't be killed if you use the easiest difficulty level, not sure whether she can be killed at medium difficulty but apparently that's the case in highest difficulty. Again, I haven't tried it myself whether that's true or not.
Yeah, it's a nice touch. The section by the elevator had a great Aliens feel to it where you could only really see the monsters as they emerged from the darkness to kick your ass.It would be awesome if HL2:Ep2 implemented the same sort of weapon swapping system in Halo 2. I would always outfit my marines with rocket launchers, sniper rifles, and shotties, and they would pretty much kick @rse.
I am curious to see how differently the whole game would feel if Alyx died realistically and had to share in your health / ammo finds. She could use any weapon you gave her but only if she had ammo for it etc. It could either make the whole thing a bit more interesting or a lot more frustrating.
Perhaps her health just regenerates over time, and enough damage in a quick burst will do it... (more than a zombine at least i guess)They have a tendency to blow themselves, or me, up.
and giving grunts heavy weapons in halo2 always seems to have really adverse effects.

The core graphic looked really impressive with the pics I saw here, but with my card all i got was a ball made out of white lines that just kind of pulsated, lol.You really need to sort that out, the intro to Episode One is one of the few intros ever that really got my pulse racing and wanting to get stuck into the game. I know there are a lot of G-Man lovers and haters out there but whatever either of them say, his one opening line was very cool indeed. Also, having the graphics looking nice for the core levels really is worth it - once you get there it's eye candy in its purest form.

How could freeman win without a freakin' helmet?
I did miss the lack of vehicle sections
Select Ep1 properties from Steam and check its integrity, it repairs itself if need to.i'm not playing it via steam :nervous:
