This is quite possibly the best series ive played.

i have both half-life 2 and episode 1 on my Steam account and waiting for episode 2.
now about the Episodes, Each Episode adds a new feature everytime.

Episode 1 = Pros:Alyx and all Ai (but Especially Alyx) have very good Ai, the game is updated with a few monsters, lighting and HDR is Improved, Storyline continued
Cons:A little Short (5 Chapters) and no new weapons.
Overall: As an owner of this i reccomend it, its only 20$ anyway.
Vids: http://media.pc.ign....555/vids_1.html (pick the video you want to watch)

Episode 2 = Pros:some of the best graphics ive seen in games, Ai is massively improved (Combines counter your Grenades by throwing them back at you, vortigaunts have different moves, zombies jumping on your car and hitting you while your in it, etc.)
Cons: None Yet
Overall: Right now its looking really good, I hope it comes out soon (Its comin out with Team fortress 2 and Portal baby!)
vids: http://youtube.com/watch?v=W1BNqwX4D7o
http://media.pc.ign....574/vids_1.html (pick what video you want to watch)

Episode 3 = Unknown (probably is gonna continue graphics, Ai, Etc.)
Who Else besides me is gonna get episode 2?

Shouldn't this be in normal Game Discussion? Half Life is nothing to do with C&C.

[TehKiller]

Im gonna get Episode 2 especialy cuz of TF 2 (i already got HL2 and Episode 1)

[Sic]

Looks great. Seems I will get it. Even though it won't be original .

[SonicBoom]

I will most likely get it for teh PS3.

[striker26]

im getting it for all of the above! (i mean all the new things for it)

[Athena]

I'm curious what Portal will play like.

I haven't finished HL2 yet (lack of time etc) and I haven't bought Ep1 yet.

[striker26]

well be sure to get Ep 1!
because its worth it and because if you get episode 2 you wont know what happened!

[Magma]

I have HL2 but no HL2 Episode One, ill wait for Episode 2 and i hope that
Episode 1 and 2 will be sold together, in stores, not In Steam, but if they're not, ill buy them sametime. (more playing time in less waiting time )
I haven't heard of Valve making Episode 3, is it even coming, or am i just blind for not noticing?

[striker26]

yes they are making 3 episodes
and there is 2 boxes, orange and black box i think.
one box has the whole half-life2 series (HL2,Ep1,Ep2,Portal,TF2)
the other just has portal, TF2, and Ep2 which is the one im getting

Wasnt Valve going to make 4 Episodes?

[striker26]

i dont think so i heard that they're probably gonna make 3 Episodes and then continue to Half-life 3 but thats my guess

[Magma]

What i've read, Valves guys said they're NOT gonna make HL3, but you never know, it maybe right or wrong, i don't know. I really hope they're gonna make it.
