A very nice expansion to Half-Life 1, I like all the new stuff it introduces, that portal gun is quite genius and I really like the Barnacle gun. And the final boss is pretty rad. My biggest problem with the game is, is that around Foxtrot Uniform, the game starts to get unfun hard, where I just ended up switching to Easy through the console command: "skill 1" (2 being normal, 3 being hard). Last boss was giving me a hard time too, until I realized I can use the blue pool there to heal myself, was that ever introduced earlier? Or was I simply meant to walk in and find out? If not introduced earlier, I don't think it's very reasonable to expect the player to try this in a game that expects teaches you things through show and tell but oh well. I also played the Training Course after I beat the game as I also did for Blue Shift and HL1, Boot Camp here, very creative, anyway, only to find out that I have to HOLD E to get health from the medics and not just press it....shit, that would definately make Foxtrot Uniform (F U, get it?) easier....that's my bad I guess lol, with the previous games I didn't needed it and just wanted to see the extra content, why would I suspect I might need it this time?
