Development of Half-Life 2 began in June 1999, six months after the release of the original Half-Life. It was developed by a team of 82.[4] With voice actors included, this number is 100.[5][6] Valve's president, Gabe Newell, wanted to redefine the FPS genre, saying: "Why spend four years of your life building something that isn't innovative and is basically pointless? If Half-Life 2 isn't viewed as the best PC game of all time, it's going to completely bum out most of the guys on this team."[4] Newell gave his team no deadline and a "virtually unlimited" budget, promising to fund the project himself if necessary.[4] They used Valve's new in-house game engine, Source, developed simultaneously.[4]

Surprisingly, Half-Life 2's story is one of its most disappointing aspects. The first half of the game feels a bit unfocused, while the second half seems rushed. Even worse, the story leaves behind a mess of unanswered questions, and it doesn't touch on any of the lingering questions left over from the first game. Valve likes to leave tantalizing hints and tidbits everywhere, but few of these actually develop into anything interesting, and by the end you're left wondering what the game was all about. In many ways, Half-Life 2 feels like the middle chapter in a much larger story, and it suffers as a result.

Though Half-Life 2 is stuffed with excellent voice talent to give life to the many characters in the game, the fact that Gordon Freeman doesn't say a single word remains disconcerting. The idea is that since you are Gordon Freeman, then giving him a voice would take away from the immersion. Valve got away with this in the original Half-Life because Gordon encountered few characters, and they didn't linger onscreen for too long. On the other hand, Half-Life 2 features whole conversations where everyone is talking to you, and it's just weird that they seem fine with you not saying anything in return. The conversations that do take place remain some of the better parts of the game, as Half-Life 2 has excellent facial technology that brings human characters to life in a believable way. It also helps that Valve enlisted notable talent to supply the voices for many characters, including Robert Guillaume, Louis Gossett Jr., Robert Culp, and Michelle Forbes. The voice acting is superb, and the script itself features wit, warmth, and humor. The sound effects are also well done. Once again, it's the little details that stand out, like the buzzing noise of manhacks as they approach and the clatter of a gutter pipe as something climbs up to reach you. As in the original, there's very little music, and what's here is electronic in nature and reserved to emphasize important moments, such as when you're headed for a showdown with a major foe. Despite a few standout themes (one of which is recycled from the original), most of the music is forgettable.

Not really surprising on the XBox. Probably not worth the effort from Valve's perspective when they'd already ported to PS2.

It was very strange that Half-Life: Source wasn't included with Orange box for 360. FYI it was a port of the game to the Source engine from around the time Half-Life 2 was released on PC originally. It didn't get any real overhaul other than the water, lighting, and physics. Levels and textures were the same as the original, and character models were taken from HL:Blue Shift (which had higher res models than the original.) Maybe it'll show up on XBLA sometime? I believe with the Portal: Still Alive for XBLA announcement it was stated Valve were considering porting older titles for XBLA release. I really hope they do, because you MUST play Half-Life, or your life will never be complete... or something...

Here's an idea, I wonder if half life 2 has a different internal resolution than what ogxhd is looking for? That might be why you are getting the correct vertical but not horizontal, might be a good place to start, you could just look for 480 in the hex and find the horizontal in the same area and replace with 1280. I would try and experiment with this as well but my xbox is broken right now and I need to find out what the issue is and fix it at some point.

Goodnight!!! I'm going to try to apply Widescreen already in the patched file for 720p, I'm using OGXHD in a virtual machine on Windows XP but it doesn't want to do 16:9, Every time I select the option it crashes but I'll try with Windows 7. That's how I got the patch in "default.xbe" I made the 720p patch without selecting 16:9 for it to work and then played again for OGXHD simply incrementing the Widescreen code and it worked. But now I want to do the same thing with "hl2_xbox.xbe" but the tool is crashing on Windows XP so I will have to use 7. If I can't do it that way, I'll have to go with Hexadecimal even with that "Scale" scheme that I said. The problem is that looking at it today, these dimensions seem to be just textures and not resolution so I think it's another code I will still look for another.

In short no, but;

If you google up "Halflife 2 build 2153" or "2187" you'll find versions were people have switched the SecuROM hl2.exe with the .exe from the modern DRM free steam release.

It's older versions like these that speedrunners use as they contain the old exploits for speeeed!

(plus they work on Win98SE for me without the need for anything like KernelEx.)

And the XBox port/remix/whatever of Far Cry, called Far Cry: Instincts is also better than the PC version, if you ask me, though I'd imagine many people would disagree with me there. Far Cry: Instincts largely does away with the open world(ish) nature of the PC game, no doubt mainly to compensate for the XBox's smaller memory pool, so that instead the game is much more linear, though it does pretty well at hiding that and seeming like you could, if you choose, go off in a random direction. Far Cry: Instincts starts off like the PC game, but half-way through deviates enough to introduce new player mechanics, and doesn't have the bullet sponge attack creatures (or the tedium) of the PC game.

Half-Life 2 was also originally intended to be much more diverse in settings. Several City 17 levels at the start of the game and complete chapters from the second half of the game were completely removed and sometimes re-introduced in the subsequent Half-Life 2 Episodes, as well carry on in its main following up prequel, Half-Life: Alyx. ff782bc1db
