Finished it ...

Not sure what I think about the ending.

I felt the same way. I miss a lot of the monsters from the first game, and I especially missed that charge gun thing you could use to jump around with (although they did put it on the dune buggy).

I'm at the section where the striders are in the plaza. Working through the final 1/3 of the game I think. My opinions when I'm done.

I just finished it. HL2 is an absolutely astounding achievement (nice alliteration, eh?). In my estimation, it's the greatest PC game in history. The end sequence certainly leaves you hanging, but that's because HL3 is on the way. More Half-Life is most definately a good thing.

I'm at the half way point, just finished Chapter 7 (Highway 17) and began Sand Traps.

I'm absolutely immersed in this game. There were points where I was flat out laughing at some of the sequences, and just loving the subtle and obvious solutions to circumstances you find yourself in.

HL2 is definitely the best FPS I have played. It creates an incredibly immersive environment. As for the ending ... I heard there is no Half Life 3 in the works, at least not any time in the foreseeable future. Valve's employees were completely burnt out by the time Half Life 2 was finished. It would be nice if they would release additional missions and continuing story over Steam. :-)
