Half-Life was awesome in a sense that I can\'t really put a finger on. You started in one place, and ended in a completely different place all within (what seemed to be) "one" level. That in itself gave th game a great sense of adventure. I hope HL2 can capture this accurately.
In the sequel, as in the original, players will see everything through Freeman\'s eyes and will never be taken out of his persona. And, as in the original, Freeman will never say a word--it will be up to players to play every bit of the character\'s role.
This I like.
I hope the game is a little less linear than the first one.
