We talked about this several times over, and I have to say that people that bought the PS3 version should of listened to the rhetoric that was spouted by Gabe Newell. If some guy says that he feels the PS3 is horrible to develop for, and bad mouths the port before it comes out, why would you buy it. Its like me saying my DVD player sucks, but why don’t you buy it.

My only gripe is that something is very wrong with the halflife 2.
Far into the game, you come to a point where you need to build a climbing apparatus to make your way above ground. Great right? Sounds fun to me, but your “squad” isn’t very cooperative. I’ve played every squad shooter from Damage inc. to Rainbow Six, but that squad mechanic was garbage. You have the ability to toggle them individually between “stay here” and “follow me.” Unfortunately, as you grab dressers and chairs to build your climb-out-contraption, they shriek , ” I’m with you, Freeman” and run down the hallway and group up on either side of you.

Now you have three choices:

1. ask them to stay in a new place that you can see right behind their heads (they won’t)
2. drop the furniture nicely (it falls on them and they die)
3. Re-attempt the puzzle for two days and sell the game on amazon.

I’m sure that part of the game works much more smoothly on the PC and even 360 versions.
TF2 and portal were great fun, though.

I’ll bet the punch line to this is that I missed a door that leads above ground.
