Well it would, its probably written by kids that have never played HL1 when it was released cos they would have been to young.
Half-Life 2 was a good game but a MAJOR disappointment, i really really really am disappointed with it, its a good game, but its TOO short.. i finished it with minimal effort, and the end.. OMG whats that all about...
Terrible ending.. not like HL1 where you were happy with the ending, the satisfaction of it all..
and now.. above all other things we've got to bloody wait for HL3 to make any sense of that rubbish ending. HL3 better come quicker than HL2 did.
