I used the image of the dying soldier for the thumbnail as it struck me as representative of the overall cost of this chapter. I don’t know for sure, but it seemed to me more rebels were killed in this chapter than any so far, and probably to come. I’m not a big fan of the squad idea and having these people helping or following me was often more distracting than helping.That said, I don’t know how it easy would have been to complete this level without them and I suppose I could replay it and just kill them when they come running up to me, but that’s not the issue here.I actually feel responsible for their deaths. I couldn’t just tell them to stay somewhere until I had cleared the area. They followed me and died.Anyway, enough virtual dramatics. This is a splendid level with some great use of height and 360 degrees worth of action.
There are distinct sections that require boldness and others than require more careful consideration. Valve did a great job of making it feel as though there was plenty going on around me without distracting me.It could almost have been an end level.Just a quick note about Steam: I had to play this chapter offline as my connection was a bit flaky. As of writing this review, one hour after finishing the chapter, my achievements haven’t updated. Does anybody know if they don’t register offline? Would be pretty annoying if they didn’t.Playtime: 1 hour 14 minutes. I don’t pay much attention to achievements, especially these days, but I do remember back when I was writing UHS hint files for HL2: Episode 2 and Portal.
I was doing achievement hints for both games, and usually played them with Steam in offline mode due to having a slow old dial-up Internet connection in those days. I never got achievements officially noted, and had to use the PC console to monitor my achievement progress (it gave an “achievement ignored” line every time I did something achievement-related).It’s probably still that way, with online mode required to actually get achievements. Also, I’ve noticed that in several different Steam games, I sometimes don’t get achievements even when I’m in online mode.
Replaying the area where the achievement is gotten sometimes gets it, and sometimes doesn’t. It’s all really very flaky.
They need to fix it to always properly give achievements, and to keep track of achievement progress (on your local hard drive) while you’re playing in offline mode so it can be updated when you next play in online mode. “Follow Freeman” is the last big chapter of the game.
Like in “Forget about Freeman”, Gordon is close to his goal but there is no more for comparison.We are in the right continuation of Anticitizen One, the difference is the precense of Barney and our first objective is to rescue him from snipers.On this map something is weird to me. After killing the two first snipers we must go on the roof to triggers the others and there, how does we should fight?Personnally I always go down in the street and when I kill the last snipers Barney go down himself, but he don’t pay attention to the two headcrabs on the roof! So, I suppose that in devellopers minds, we should fight from the rooftop, something I never succed and rarely attemped.After Barney rescuing we reach the Nexus and the main piece of the chapter.
The fighting in the building is interesting due to the three generators and the three ways to reach them. I particularly enjoyed the ambush room.Later, from the roof, we can mesure the range of the insurrection. City 17 is already in ruins and the battle in the Nexus square is more and more violent.The square that we already crossed before entering the Nexus is now a huge battlefield rushed by striders. The idea of walking in two version of the same place is not new but very well made here.We finally reach the Grand Hotel and the Horse Column which are very symbolic in the game. How can we forgot this incredible battle in the building?The first time I played it I was very troubled by the second strider because I didn’t have rockets anymore.
Later in the hotel I didn’t understant that I must wait for the strider destroying the wall. Nice barrier idea!For the transition with the next chapter, Dog open a way by the sewers under the walls of the Citadel. Simple and reminding classical air vents.CAUGHT MY EYESThis is the most noisy hotel I ever seen!G-Man sightingNone, or maybe that tag in the Nexus, at the exit of laser room.DEATHSThree! Two due to snipers and third in the laser rooms.PLAYTIME49 minutesMY FRENCH LET’s PLAY. I liked the combat in Anticitizen One, but the pinnacle of combat in Half-Life 2 is in this chapter. You’re up against the best of the Combine now: Elites, striders, gunships, and of course those damn floor turrets. It starts off slow enough, where you have to get past some headcrabs and zombies, and then rescue Barney from the snipers.
But once you start crossing the square to reach the Nexus, from then on the tension and combat are ratcheted up bit by bit.I honestly loved the tension in this chapter. I’m playing on Hard and did indeed find it quite difficult, and that’s even with bypassing some of the striders where possible, since they take a good 6 or so rockets to take down. But it’s the sense that if you stay too long in any area, more Combine forces will just hone in on your position and make life even more difficult. This may have only actually been the truth in a couple of areas, but Valve did a great job of making you feel pressure throughout much of this chapter.I think another important aspect of this chapter was the non-linear “feel” to the levels. You of course go though the maps linearly, but they feel wide open and non-linear, in the sense that you get to see the entire area from multiple perspectives as you make your way. The ruined buildings nearing the horse statue are a good example, as is the courtyard in front of the Nexus building – you can see all around, but there’s really only one path through.Playtime: 1 hour, 23 minutes due to getting my ass kicked many, many times by striders. Sorry, i’m late.
I’m pretty busy these days, I’ll catch up when I can. All the levels are played, but I’m running out of time to edit, upload and review.Follow Freeman! Looks a lot like Anticitizen one, except for the fact that this time we have a different goal than just “survive and move forward”. We are the one attacking.We start up in dmoverwatch (kinda) and have to save Barney from the snipers. If I remember correctly, there is also a small zombie standoff in the basement, but I skipped it. Then, a small fight with some soldiers and turret, and soon enough Barney tells us exactly what we’ll have to do. Take on the Nexus and shut off the suppression device on the top.
Might be.We run through the plaza, dodging “suppression” shots and fighting soldiers. Then when we get in, we meet a new type of turrets. One that renders the gravity gun useless (except if you throw the grenade in with it, but it’s a loss of time). Barney has no idea how to beat those, so it’s up to us.
Then we run around the Nexus to turn off the 3 generators, and after that we can get out. Leaving Barney behind, there’s a nice battle against the gunships on top, but again I skipped it. When we get back in the plaza, the landscape changed a lot from the fighting, and we have to use a different route to get back to the start. There are quite a lot of striders, so it’s actually very dangerous. Then we move through an abandoned subway or something, we fight one more strider (he pushed me down so many times I lost at least a minute maybe I should have fought it instead)Then we get to the final strider battle, where we must dodge their attacks for a while before reaching the rooftops and being able to fight back.After that we meet with Barney again, this time he’swith DOG, who knows (how?) that Alyx is in the citadel, and he opens the way for us. The level ends with Barney attempting to swear.“If you see Dr.
Breen, tell him I said F.huge metal rumble.K YOU!”Challenges:– Counter-Snipernope, didn’t even save Barney. He saved himself anyway– Fight the PowerYep, can’t skip that one– Giant KillerSame hereMy challenges:– Complete the level without killing a single StriderNope, it’s extremely hard to move forward in the last map without killing the striders– Get Barney killed without dying because “subject failed to preserve mission-critical ressources”Nope, requires luckFive words or less review:STRIIIDEEEERRRRR!!!!Deaths:none 😀Playtime:14 minutes 49 seconds 417 milliseconds. Firstly I forgot to time this level after a short gaming break and secondly, I forgot how intense this level is! Running out in the open while being constantly attacked by striders and combine elite is pretty hard work and snipers to; that’s just taking the Mickey!My comrades decide to “Follow Freeman”, but every time I looked to see where they were they were usually dead! I did get a few much needed health jabs but I still died three times hunting for rockets.This level is very complex and great fun and rises from ground level to the rooftops and back again making it feel like a real urban battle; helped by the intense battle symphony!CAUGHT MY EYE:Damn those pesky new scanners!Going one on one with Striders.PLAYTIME: 1.7 hours (according to my Steam account).Gman I didn’t have time to look!DEATHS: everyone who followed me! Me three times!FIVE WORDS OR LESS REVIEW:War of the World!PS.
My achievements do not seem to update anymore?
After previously causing portals to open between worlds, Gordon released a race of aliens from enslavement on Xen and was placed into stasis by a mysterious figure known only as the G-Man. Meanwhile a race of aliens known as the combine enslaved Earth and is devouring its resources. Freeman awakens on a train heading for a massive city known only as City 17. The alien Combine empire watches over its human minions from a massive fortress called the Citadel, within which the human governor is none other than Gordon Freeman's old administrator, Dr. Wallace Breen. Uniting with the resistance fighters which contain some of his old acquaintances from the Black Mesa research facility (such as Barney Calhoun from Half-Life: Blue Shift), Gordon leads the resistance to free mankind with the help of the creatures he liberated from Xen, and the Antlion controlled with pheromones. After the fall of the first fortress G-Man places Gordon back into stasis.
Half Life 2 is the best game ever! The graphics are superb, the story is somewhat okay and it's got plenty of action, thrills and zombies. I haven't finished this game yet because frankly I suck at computer games unless I can cheat but that doesn't matter. I love the zombies. They are so funny and scary, the way the people get turned into Zombies by the headcrabs.

Also the assortment of weapons, ranges from pistols to pulse rifles to rocket launchers. One problem was that it glitched to easily. Sometimes it was my fault by putting in a cheat. But sometimes the people don't get into elevators and stuff like that, but it's solved by exiting and re-entering the game. But in conclusion I'd recommend this awesome game to action and/or zombie fans. out of.!
