HL2 still did now for the industry than probably any other game on the market. Aldi, Minerva is a must to play, one of the best HL2 mods.

There are so many landmark games. I'd say HL1 was more influential then HL2 anyway. Hell, I'd say Portal did more for first person puzzle games then HL2 did for FPS games.

It just handicapped itself by making the gravity gun such busy work and ignoring other aspects.
