I forgot to review this because I was like "I haven't played enough to form any thoughts about it." Turns out, I have over 10 hours in it and I guess I just don't have anything interesting to say about it.
My friend loves this game, can't get enough of it, has started 3 different characters just to play more of it, I was like "hey man don't burn out before we all get to play together" and he was like "I promise that would never happen." Then Helldivers 2 came out and they ditched the campaign even though we were gonna wait to play HD2 all together and they didn't even tell me they'd bought it. That doesn't really matter, but maybe it says something about the half life on this game, as it doesn't really seem like my friend has made it past the 11 hour mark on any of his 3 campaigns even though he says its one of his favorite games of all time. I can collect that the progression reaches a plateau around this point, when the loot becomes little more than an inconvenience, and all you're doing anymore is spamming hotkeys to decimate crowds of enemies until you get to level up again.
