Can't wait to try it, but might wait for Xen to be completed, maybe not.
Wait? Are you crazy, play what you can now!
(buried)
xen wil be a seperate game they also said that the campaign of xen wil be much longer then in the original game
The Day is here, and before HL3, I am impressed :D
I'm not, since it will prob take another 5 years for HL3 to come out :P
I say 2013.
You're really optimistic...
My thoughts exactly. Im really dissapointed in valve for stalling this long. Even this long is not right...
Well, there are some speculations of it being around 2013. Nothing is set in stone of course so don't get your hopes up.

Now, we will take a moment of silence, for all those who become tired off waiting, for this fine mod to be released

duke nukem forever, then this...

not really impressed. i havent seen a proper shadow / color correction / bumpmapping yet in the first half an hour...go ahead downvote me, somebody has to say it.
*cough* V1.0 *cough* they are making patches too *cough*
(buried)
you can cough as many as you want, but you know as well as i do that they wont make a colorful hl like ep2 was. sombody talented *cough* fakefactory *cough* will probably will make a proper version.
Why should it be as colourful as Episode 2? A more colourful palette might not suit the story, setting and atmosphere.
>ep2
>colorful
>fakefactory
>talented
>proper version
What? have you even played Half-Life? ffs.
(buried)
Well FF is talented, you've seen his models?...
yeah we have, that's the problem
Fakefactory talented? You smoked some bad granola!
You're asking for colorful when the majority of the game takes place in an underground research facility.. lol
(buried)
Have you seen FF's Alyx model?
Calicoyoda, I did, it was terrible.
It didn't match her character at all, it was like seeing Gordon Freeman being replaced by a big breasted school-girl.
Sounds like somebody never played HL1. More colorful? Seriously?
It should be law to play the first game before you bother with the HL2 BS. Then you can pass your judgments.

I`ll gonna f*ck your mother for this words. .__________.
You should really see a doctor about that cough, you might have a throat disease.
From the looks of things that might be the least of his problems :|
What you're saying is dumb on so many levels you disgust me.
Difference of opinion is not welcome here, have some negative karma and go away.
There is huge support here for the mod, and a bit of criticism gets buried. Don't have to agree with it, should be discussed though, not tucked away, unless its obvious trolling, which this not...
totally agree arieas

Ты - тупой тролль-неудачник.
you know how noobs like to downnvote when the oppinion is not the same... oh well
How about you remake it instead of bitching about it? I'm sure you have way more talent than everyone that worked on this mod, please tell me every major project you worked on that got nearly as much notoriety as this did.
If you don't like it, don't play it. Why torture yourself since you don't have to play it?
