Valve has made available 5 gameplay movies (through Steam) for this - anybody else watch?
They're frickin' AMAZING! My favorites are the first and last ones. In the first you find yourself deep underground in an Ant Lion den with only a Vortegaunt [sic] ally (who can really kick some ass). I usually dread these "tight'n'close" dark levels when playing but when I think back on the games those are always the most vivid memories. The last shows you barreling through the countryside in a souped up buggy. You eventually find yourself surround by striders and mini-striders (I think they're called "hunters" but I'm not sure) and the odd ally. There's an amazing scene (no unlike the destroyed bridge scene from the second trailer) where a strider unloads on a farmhouse and it explodes complete with stunningly realistic physics. They also show so superb gravity gun fighting against several mini-striders. I know they delayed... but damn, they know how to keep my attention through a delay. I still find all the "Half-Life" games to be the most fun I have behind a cross-hair. They're the only FPS games where I haven't just (essentially) given up (either through boredom or difficulty) and switched to God-mode just so I could see the end of the game (Doom 3 comes painfully to mind).
