Anyways you might like to check out this site:

One of the reasons why I am extremely tempted to re-open my HALF LIFE RPG CONVERSION again. The only problem now is that i have to redo my HL Conversion to another system as the original ALTERNITY
ARK MATTER rules have been defunked to the D20 System (a system that I don't like)
The sad thing about saga is that the backstory is SO rich in details. I sad that is we only see it as a FPS.
The other game that I can think of that has a really good back story, but just a small game is GUILTY GEAR X.

Yeah I know, Im cool with it, I just wanted to point it out because how he put it, it made it sound like the ending is all the mattered.
Yes. That was good too. Like I remember playing the ending of orginal HL and Opposing Forces. (And I might just add the orginal UNREAL), and all of those game left me thinking "$#!+. I wish there was a 'KILL ME NOW' option so I could save myself the trouble of getting screwed over in the end."
But at least with HL2, it does make me feel that Gordon did complish some thing. Like he did strike a very sever blow to the Galactic Union.

And instead of just posting "The ending sucked" post how you would make it better ( acutally add something worth reading ). *rant done*
As posted before, I would of been a satified with the cidital being harder. The main problem that I had with HL2 was that the more I progressed in the game, the easier things became. Okay, the striders in that park square were nasty. Own ever one you now where the rocket launch caches were, they were easily take down.
Over all, I still have to say that the second last level was still a good challange.
But the citidal... I was really hoping for more resistance from Combine Forces (and other nasties). I was also expecting another 3 to 4 hours of play of going through verious levels of the citidal. Like the ending of DOOM III where you had to deeper and deeper into Site 3 (???). Even the last ending of the orginal HL was nasty too.
The only other complaint about the game was the lack of end bosses. It was pretty much gunships and striders and swarm tactics. Unlike the orginal HL where there was a good deal of them. And they were more of a DEADLY PUZZLE as appose to a stand up fight.
Over all, I do hope that they bring out some expansion packs. Bet that VALVe is working on one for Barney to expand on his side of the events.
Over all, great game. I just wish the last chapter was more of a challange.
BTW, could some one please give me one of those suped up gravity guns for chirstmas. They were fun.
