I'm not a fan of this game, never been. The game has serious flawes. But I've never encountered any bugs. All your problems may be simply hardware dependant.
i don't think hardware has anything to do with ai disabling itself

I suspect that this is true. I think that the Steam componant, is causing the problems. The game's designed to function like an online networked game at all times, even while not connected and during a single player game. It's constantly looking for and checking updates, internet connections, networking, etc. I think this major network integration causes some of the glitching problems. But like I said this version seems to be an early one, the dates on the files are all 2004. These problems may be all ironed out by now.

Hm... Isn't that a contradiction?

Even with my complaints, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I don't get the impression that it's particularly revolutionary, but it's a solid game. I felt the vehicle chase sections went on too long, and I don't think they really needed 2 of them. The fact that Freeman has no dialouge at all gets to be a little tiresome, it would have enhanced the character interaction.

EDIT:

Whoops, just finished it. I still think if I had to choose between them I'd choose either Half Life 1 or Oppossing Force over Half Life 2.

RE-EDIT:

I'm also kind of surprised there are no mouth animations. That's pretty old-school for a new-school game, not that the modeling in general doesn't look great.

I think the most boring part was where one had to steer a propeller boat for hours while a helicopter were bombarding one. There I was cheating to get through these annoying two or three levels as fast as possible.

@trey: I couldn't recognize if you were able to decrypt my data. If so, I would be pleased.

Once you told me how to decrypt it everything worked fine. :thanks:
