Umm... I *think* I'll get this game in the mail. I preordered it over a year ago, and I've been twiddling my thumbs ever since. Just swaying on my chair. You know, the usual.

But seriously, the graphics on this game look incredible, the engine will be great without a doubt, interacting with every object is definately a bonus (I even saw you can pull letters off the wall on the side of buildings and throw them at enemies)... and let's not forget the online capabilities. Half-Life had some pretty incredible mods like TFC, Counter-Strike and The Specialists which I still play to this day. Oh, and the single player looks great from the movies I've seen... HL1's story was pretty great, I thought.
