1. just play Half Life 2 from the start again!, but if you don't want to sample Half Life 2 again, its Episode One you want to start from.

2. Mmmmm, I'm not sure to be honest, why don't you try it out.

2. Still going strong.

The play order for Half Life 2 is: Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1, Half Life 2 Episode 2

Are you playing on the 360 or PC? I can't tell you for sure about the 360 community but the PC community is very much so alive.

If you finished Half-Life 2 then you've got Episode 1, then Episode 2 to play. Team Fortress 2 has a thriving community, but I dunno about on the 360. The PS3 servers are dead, the PC ones are still going strong... I guess 360 still has some community going but most move onto PC.

1. Probably the end of half life 2...
I didn't know they released it on the xbox seperate from TOB though.
2. Yes, on computer. People still play the xbox one, but pc is way more populated.

You've got Half-Life 2: Episode One and Episode Two ahead of you, and yes, the Team Fortress servers are still strong.

GO BUY IT!

oh crap .. i have a ps3 >.< .. are they really that bad?

The 360's TF2 community is completely dead. Shame too since my computer can't run the game and I enjoyed it on Live.

The PS3 version isn't that hot, try it out, but the Source engine wasn't optimized or the PS3 I'm afraid.

TF2 will not work on PS3.

well I've had no troubles getting a game on the 360 for team fortress.

and half-life is taking all my life to finish

Odd. I've encountered a lot of people on the 360 and PS3. Though the PC has the most

 

[DoctorNick]

Personally I would recommend playing Portal in between Episode 1 and 2.

Trying not to spoil it I'll just say that it will make a couple WTF moments be that much more WTF.

 

[hightide]

I'm I the only one who didn't like half life 2 (PS3)? After a couple frustrating hours I just walked away, totally not worth playing for me, which is disappointing considering its prestige.

Replay Half Life 2 if you're playing on the PC, then Episode 1 (the not so good) and Episode 2( the really good). You can't really skip Ep 1 though.

2. On the xbox 360 the communitys doing all right. Make sure you go on social games (ranked games are empty) and though there may be some times when its empty theres generally a few games.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Yeah on the 360 TF2 seems to be still going strong I seem to always get a game. If not one starts in 5 minutes

Answer to 2: YES!

Answer to 1: How should I know what your half life 2 playing habits were?

1. You play them in the order Half Life 2, Half 2: Episode 1, Half Life 2: Episode 2

2. PC: Massive, easy as strong as on release, if not more so.
Xbox: Well populated
PS3: Dead as a doornail.
