i know this is an old thread, but i am surprised that little hubbub has been made about the brief knowledge of this character. WHO THE HELL IS HE?/?

it is probably the best first person game because of its total immersion. it greatly improves over half life 1 due to the lack of a xen-like jumping level. the gun selection could be a bit better, but the alien guns in half life 1 were just so silly and weren't practical.
