I always regret buying my Xbox, modded or not, and usually few reasons why I don't, those reasons: Fable, Doom 3, Strangers Wrath, Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, and now Half Life 2.
I already own Half Life for PS2, so when I saw Half Life 2 was out, I had to decide, Xbox or Computer. Computer would be harder to pirate, since I dont have any money to buy it now, and I had a free game rental coming from Family Video, so I went with Xbox.
I can only say this, the game is out standing. Most FPS games rely on just blowing people away alone, shooting stuff, running, getting a key, and shooting more.
Half Life 2 is a great balance of puzzles and action, and makes a great game out of it. You won't be fireing your gun the entire time, but your gun wont be forgotten either.
The story, in my opinion is pretty good, I like it alot, and the small bits of comedy they add in to it are a pretty good touch, it shows, even when you are in a horrible position, you always have time to laugh.

It's a lot better on the computer. =p
|
One of the main reasons people get it is for the mods. You can't use the source development kit on the xbox.
| |
It's better for the computer. then you get counter-strike source, which pwns online.
Also, the lost coast upgrade is out. | |

It has to be the best mod for Half-Life 2. I spend countless hours building strange mechanisms...:\ [edit]A funny Half-Life 2 comic made with GMod: http://www.hlcomic.com | |
I dont care about the mods or expansion packs. I got the HL Platinum pack for the PC and I have yet to use any of the expansion packs, nor have I yet to play it online.
I care about the game, not all the extra mods and expansions people put out to suck up my money. Thats why a lot of people at my school got pissed off when they bought GTA Vice City, it was just like a expansion pack, but sold for the same price as GTAIII brand new. | |

Are you aware that most mods cant charge you because they are mods and not actuall games made by the developers. On that note, i love mods and i think that they make any game 1000x better because they give the game a different angle and its basically a whole new experience

I can only say this, the game is out standing. Most FPS games rely on just blowing people away alone, shooting stuff, running, getting a key, and shooting more. Doom 1 + 2 are some of the best FPS's I've ever played and they tend to stick rather rigidly to that formula. =p | |

Doom is still awesome, mostly because it does what I like. It has a ton of really dumb monsters that will fight each other.
| |
I really want to get this game but don't know if my graphics card can handle it. It's an integrated graphics card called VIA/S3G. Can I run HL2 with it even if I set all the settings to the lowest I can? I don't really have the money to get a new card now.
| |
That would be a more practical suggestion if I don't have dial-up. I've seen the size of the demo and there is no way I can download that with dial-up.
