Overrated? Sure, but it's not a bad game at all

not at all, though if the gameplay doesn't click with you then I understand why people don't like it

story makes up for it tho

It would actually be better than HL1 if sprinting didn't drain suit power and if the pistol wasn't so lame.

still better than most modern games

I remember I was blown away by the ragdoll physic back then. It feels like it actually has weight, not the floaty garbage we still see in some games today.

The game is not overrated.
It was the best game released that year and year before and after.

How is it overrated? It raised the standard for FPS in it's era and received an appropriate amount of praise. Now contrarians on Yea Forums will still shit on it just like every other good game from that era.

Not even the ragdoll, just physics in general, games used to be so static, seeing the cars reacting to getting shot was great.

Oh I loved throwing various things in the ocean on highway and see how it will look like in the game.
It became really fun when I found out the console commands that lets me mess around with the buoyancy, gravity and friction. Good stuff.

Fuck outta here with your sensible opinions, this is Yea Forums

Gameplay isn’t that bad and it still holds up decent. In my head anyways

There's no better zoomer/underagev& detector than hl2.

Half-Life 2 is the ultimate "game that Yea Forums hates, but never explains why they think it's bad". At this point it has to be assumed that it's just contrarianism.

>Black Mesa > HL2 >HL1

This entire sequence was scripted like most of the HL2 E3 presentations

Is calling HL2 a bad game some people do now?

* a thing some people do now

it's what Yea Forums does.

OpFor > HL1 = BMS > Ep2 > Ep1 > HL2 > BS
I hope we get an Opposing Force remake soon.
