As far as I've played this game, it's just classic Half-Life with
better graphics. Run and shoot, run and shoot. Yes, there is better
charcter animation, with the fully articulatred models, and the real
word dynamic properties for the inanimate objects, and the photoreal
textures for facial features of the avatars, but as far as character
interaction and AI are concerned, it's all old stuff. Of course I'm
only in the 4th chapter so I'm assuming it will get better. We'll see.
