Its not terribly long. i dont think its terribly short either tho.
I have that problem with all FPS, i go thro them pretty quickly without much problem. i breezed thro Doom3 in just a couple days.
i certainly wasnt bored at the end of HL2. I quite enjoyed the story line. and am going to be waiting to see what happens for HL3.

and expansions? perhaps. There was rumors about being able to play as barneys point of view or Alyx's but i cant see there being any huge expansions if HL3 isnt that far off. unless they make HL3 the expansion.

Ah ok. I hate playing a game that's too easy. I think I beated the original Half-Life on hard.

Wasn't really that hard either.

i've learned to accept that. I've yet to EVER play a FPS game thats really 'difficult' for me.

which is why i normally just buy games for Multiplayer and dont bother with single. But the story on HL2 and the phisics just pushed me to play thro this one. and i enjoyed it and egarly await the next one to continue the story and find out what happens.

Theres a lot of Very intersting things and questions in the HL series that makes it very fun to play and think about.

I finally took a bit last night and sat down to beat it. Damn that ending I say...

Now that I think of it, I still have Oppocing Force somewhere. But I lost my Half Life CDs I'm afraid.

Null, you don't really play console FPSs, do you?? Getting all the cheats in Golden Eye was REALLy hard. Probably the hardest thing I've ever done in a game... My hands were shaking while I tried to beat the level in time...

well theres extra's in all games. if you feel like going out and doing every little thing you can in the game.

i play console fps games, i just dont buy em. i tend to try em out when im bored and got nothing else to do. but the controls just suck so much. i was thinkin bout pickin up a keyboard/mouse adapter for xbox or ps2. but im just gunna wait till the next gen consoles for that. and i dont have any harder of a time on console FPS games. it might take a bit longer tho cuz of having to deal with the control issue, but thats it.

most the levels in Goldeneye i dont remember having much trouble in all at beating under a certain time. but then again its been a long long time so i cant clearly remember what all i did.

Well, some levels were VERY hard to beat. Imagine Facility (level 2) on 00Agent under 2:15 (I did it in 1:40 I think

). Or Caverns.

Oh well, since you don't remember it, there's no point in telling this.

Edit: In here is a list of my best GE times. MAN I was annoying back in the day. More than half of the posts in the thread are mine.

BTW why is that thread in the XBox forum?

/edit

Have you played Aliens vs Predator? It wasn't impossible, but it was hard in a creepy way.
Oh, the demo was even harder than the hardest setting of the normal game.
