People are too hung up on those videos. Barring the Hydra, pretty much everything was in the games.

What about the scene where the strider bursts through the wall of dr. kliener's lab? That movie was awesome, i was waiting for that but it never happened :/
don't yell at valve...yell at the whining SOBs in the steam forums...

Yah it feels like they rushed to finished the game. They should of ignored the whiners and continued to work on it
Houndeyes are useless and do 2 damage...who needs em.

They do more than 2 damage, and the only thing valve failed with on them was having packs of maybe 3-4 max. I've found that 10 or so houndeyes can level you in a few seconds. :)
3.) not enough of the story explained, HL spent lots of time explaining the story... this didnt[snapback]33913[/snapback]
The story was there and it was explained, it just wasn't spoon fed to you. There were only a few things that were left unexplained (Breen's involvement, chiefly, and the "benefactor's" want with earth).
The combine were explained, the story as you went along was explained, GMan and Gordon's relationship was explained, etc.
The clues and information is there, it's just not thrown into cutscenes saying "Ok! The combine are humans!" They let you work it out yourself, and i really liked that, to be honest.

That's a really bad way of 'telling' the story though, since people make retarded assumptions about it. "But what about the orange lambda signs! Obviously they indicate a relationship with Xen as they try to help Gordon out, because as you can PLAINLY see in this map, there's a piece of wood covering a poster with alien letters on it, which is OBVIOUSLY indicative that God is real."
