I'm on my first round i HL2 and started on difficult.

I feel as if I am playing on normal or even easy (Farcry anyone?:-)) when
compared to other games.

Of course I've died a couple of times, but on the highest difficulty
setting, playing the first time, I would expect to die constantly. Trouble
is, next round will be a breeze, no challenge. I would have liked Valve to
have added another difficultylevel or 2.

Anyone agree? (like the game very much btw)

Regards
