Half-Life 2: Episode Two Update
That Strider assault is still the most irritating unfun set-piece in any game I've played, mainly due to the Hunters. (I've managed to save the Sawmill, but the third Strider is intensely unfun due to the two Hunters with it, and my inability to aim with logs on the Gravity Gun.) It's unlikely that I'll finish the game, so I'll probably write a review tomorrow.
(It's worth noting that, according to Valve's own stats for HL2:ET, while 51.60% of players starting HL2:ET reach the Strider setpiece, only 43.77% of them make it past that to the final map. That's one of the largest dips in players in the entire game - beaten only by the dips during the irritating Antlion section earlier on.)
