I AM SOOOO FREAKING HYPED ABOUT THIS GAME!!!!!!!! :D Nothing fanboyish, I was hyped for Doom3 too...I'm just more hyped for this one. HL is still about the best gameplay experience I've ever had, I gots big expectations for HL2!

Yea, for its time Half Life was a great game. My only concern is that the character movement will be the same in Half Life 2. I really didn't like ice-skating everywhere and I don't think I could put up with it for another 20 hours or so.

...since my expectations are so high, but I would love to be proved wrong again just like I was about Doom3. :)
