Good for a quick First Person Shooter fix but not much else. Should be renamed "Guns and Boobies"

I have never played the original because I was too caught in Half-Life like everyone else. This game provides a mediocre experience. If you have played any FPS at all, then you know what to expect from this game. It has a near future setting thats been done countless times and the plot contains the same old cliches (megalomania, evil corporations, etc.). The characters are all one-dimensional 'too cool for you' Gen-X types. The Graphics are source powered so they are good to go but the The weapons are pretty generic and feel underpowered (specifically the machine gun). It might seem that I am beating up on the game because all in all, it is a solid first person shooter experience. If you want a quick FPS shooter fix then this game is good to go but it sure as heck aint Half-Life 2.
