OK, I know I'm going to catch some flack for this, but I'm used to it...

I have owned Half Life 2 since a April 2006, and I am yet to beat it. I simply reinstall Windows too often. I think I got to Ravenholm or whatever it's called once, and up to that point, the game was spectacular. I may get one of the Hi-Res texture packs (like the on with the super hot Alyx re-skin) and play the game all the way through at some point this summer. It really is one of the better games I have ever played, but I just can't bring myself to play it all the way through.

Power, i understand were you are coming from.

It happened to me I got to the part were you are at a big bridge and you have to jump across all the steel girders (trying not to spoil it.) Then i had to re-install windows.

After that i completed the game. Then i completed again before i played Ep 1 to refresh my memory

It is a very long game, so it is understandable that some people don't get the opportunity to complete it for various reasons.

Could someone link me to this mod please? I have never been a big lover of mod packs. But if it improves textures i am all for it!

Half Life One, Half life One: Blueshift, half Life One: Opposing Force, Half Life One Deathmatch, Half Life Two, Half Life Two: Lost Coast, Half Life Two: Deathmath, Half Life Two: Episode One, Half Life Two: Episode Two. But I haven't completed Episode Two yet lol, haven't played in ages. I got to the bit with all the Walkers. I may play all of them in order from the start again lol, with all the Half Life threads popping up, it's inspiring me!

Not quite sure where it is hosted, but it is huge. Took me a day to download it. I have cable.

I would recommend playing through the game BEFORE you install the mod. The guy changes what all the characters look like. It bothered me. I played the first level, then quit.

I own HL2, HL2 Episode 1, HL2 Episode 2, HL 2 Deathmatch. I rank HL2 and HL2 Episode 2 in my top 5 favorite games. Love them. Been through HL2 twice and Episode 2 twice. HL2 Episode 1 was okay... but my least favorite of the HL2 series. Beleive it or not though.. I never beat Half-Life. I do on it though.
