I didn't have a problem loading in HL2... ten to fifteen seconds, never more than that.
I won't delve into the real meat, I don't want to write a full fledged review. On the whole I did enjoy the game, but it wasn't game of the year.
1. AI - It's years since Halo, why did it take a step back? (especially "following squad" ai)
2. Multiplay
3. The entire Ravenholm section: booooring
**4**. Was I on a guided tour or playing a game?
That's the primary reason I don't think it deserves *game* of the year. After all the years of development a ten hour tech demo is all I got. That's being shafted.
