I know the dark sets the modd for the game and shows how well the lighting is, but it bugs the living hell out of me.

Pretty graphics, decent controls, everything else is a bore to me, IMO.

*Patiently awaits for HL2 even more then before*

What? I thought you said you werent going to get it anytime soon?

Anyways, I dont think im even going to bother, I heard its really short, and I prefer a good Single Player experience to a good multiplayer one anyways.

I've been playing it and I really like the game has some very nice detail put into this game TLC I'd like to say for the game. I do agree with Jon it's too dark in certain scenes. That and isn't the year like 2150 ? You'd think they would have a mounted flashlight to a gun or something something to make it a bit easier not on the shotgun or the assualt rifle just on the handgun so you can shoot the pesky little Fers that pop out of the corners. Other than that great F*in Game
