They're not talking about HL2 but instead Half-Life: Source which was a port of the original to the Source engine. Although they ported it to the Source engine, they didn't update graphics or gameplay (unlike, for example, CS: Source), so fans felt they could do better.
- jlgreco 14y agoIn addition to failing to update graphics (I suspect upgrading gameplay would actually piss more people off), the experience was, at least in my experience, actually degraded. The game handled differently with the Source engine compared to GoldenSrc, and not in a good way. The original had a much crisper "quake-ish" feel that was lost. Additionally in Source there are (or at least were, I played it years ago) several places where there are graphical glitches. Textures missing from certain surfaces and whatnot. Each of those little things really built up a general feeling of "they did not really care about this".
