How?

Spoiler:

I mean, even in the commentary they say that the design they had in mind was for the player to see some of the buildings blown up. Having to go back for Magnussons to attach to the car meant that I would always drive up next to a strider just as they vaporized a building.

I did manage to get the achievement for killing a hunter with its own flechettes, which was both accidental and extremely satisfying.

But yeah, I liked Ep 1 for the character development, and the car garage sequence, but Ep 2 really raised the bar for the series and put the story in the forefront. I'd have to say Portal is still my favorite orange box game just because of the possibility for more missions, but Ep 2 comes damn close.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
