Half life was a great game on so many levels. And it's modding community and realized potential is amazing.

Never heard of Half Life...

Go get it. Buy the Game of the Year pack for $30, you get 5 games, and all of them (well, Blue-Shift is debatable) are awesome. Half-Life itself has won over 50 Game of the Year awards, and it's probably one of (if not the) best shooters ever.

Blue shift though, has the high-definition pack, which improves the graphics of all the others.

[Anticrombie0909]

Yeah it does, which is the only good part about that game...ok, I'm being too hard on it. Blue Shift was a great game, but there was too much wierd platforming and not enough killing stuff, and it was really short. It wasn't as good as Half-Life or Opposing Force.

Half Life is certainly one of the more enjoyable first person shooters I've ever played. The game's realism was one of the large reasons why I found it so enjoyable, seeing as how you had to push crates and jump on top of them, or break open some glass with your crowbar and crawl through it. To me, it made it more of a reality, and less of a fantasy, which is something that I play video games for...

=====Warning, Spoilers ahead! Very vague spoilers, but spoilers nonetheless.===


What got me on this game was the story mode of the original Half-Life. While the HL cd I had did come with music for the story mode, I've never played with the music, which makes it so much better. You feel like you're in a frikkin horror-action movie, but at the same time the lack of any horror/action music creates a HUGE feeling of realism. Plus, the intro (The real one, in the reactor) is ultra-sweet. It had a perfect balance of puzzle and combat while never overwhelming the player too much of either. And while the graphics are outdated, the quality sound and smooth animations (Love the MP reload) make up for it very well. It's also a pretty long, satisfying game with a heck of an ending. Only thing that could have made story mode more fun is more air strike moments.

=====The following is my life story and should be totally ignored=====

It was a while after I finished the game in single that I got a DSL connection. However, even by that time I wasnt very interested in Counter-Strike cuz I had never played the game. So I built up my skillz, all the way from complete n00b to self-claimed grandmaster in Return to Castle Wolfenstein. In my spare time I read about such games as Quake 3 and learned new maneuvers like the circle strafe. Once I finally got around to CS, I knew not to ask things like "Wheres the buy button" and to just check the control configuration menu. I think it was Freak83's sig that actually got me into NS.
And here I am today.
