Just started playing it. So far I can't remember it at all. I played HL1 so much and have recently started with Black Mesa. I remember a lot of EP1, also. Managed to clock 3 hrs on HL2 today and there's only one bit I remember, I think. Good fun game. Only annoyance are the ladders and getting on / off them well.

I bought Trepang 2 the other day too and that has a similar era vibe, but with a modern take.

What annoys you about the ladders? To this day, I find them among the easiest video game ladders to use. No stupid button prompts; just hold W. To go down one, just face it backwards and press S. Simple, genius design.

I would always look down and press W to go down and then plummet to my death, didn't know it just worked by walking backwards.

I knew about just pressing S, but I have also done this more than I care to admit.

I seem to get stuck on them occasionally. Like I'm at the top or bottom but can't just walk off.
