Just realizing....

It was just occurring to me that all those chapters taking place in the
city should have been more populated. Although not exactly sure why, I
was always somewhat bothered by this, it felt like the city was rather
like a ghost city: too empty.
In the beginning it was ok, with all that people first in the train
station, then in the plaza facing the train station, people passing by.
Then in the building where you meet some oppressed people. But after
that you hardly see a rat. Actually I didn't see one rat/mouse, only
some birds (which I enjoy shooting at, he he he).

What you guys think?

Or they're at the job. Doing what needs to be done in City 17.

The snipers enjoy that too. That was one of the better parts of the
game IMHO. Hiding from the snipers and watching them shoot birds
instead of me.

Between headcrabs and the Combine turning everyone into slave zombies
(you'll see them in the Citadel), there really aren't many humans left...

I saw it with my daughter and we laughed so hard sometimes we almost
choked. The rest of the audience did likewise. When I think how they
transitioned in seconds from true horror scene to Monty Python style
absurdity, I say, "Bravo!"

Almost as good a s HL2

the fighting during the rebellion.
