I wasn't implying that HL2 had a BFG. The Zero Point Energy Gun (I like that name better) certainly is not a BFG. That was in reference to Halo < Doom.
Half-Life 2 is the greatest FPS because of the redonkulous physics engine plus gravity gun, the superb voice acting and storytelling, and the unconventional battle scenarios.
You definitely are going to miss some of the spledor of the game for playing so late, but when it was originally released the graphics were the cutting edge. The physics, however, are still top of the line. If you can get over the graphics (which shouldn't be hard because they are still current imo), you will have fun as long as you realize HL2 is not a run and gun, more like a stop and plot.
