Just becuase it's easy dosen't mean it's right, often that's what makes it so seductivly wrong! Have some integrety man, the next thing you know, you'll be expected to fill out an address form each time you buy a movie or music CD as well.

Before I joined TF, I was considering making a Blood mod for HL1. :D

I guess for me I played HL, liked it, played quite a lot of CS, realized years later that it's really not as good as it is widely considered to be, got HL2 anyways, liked it at first, eventually got boring and decided it's the same thing.

Yeah. I was playing CS: source. Runs like balls on my PC, and my connection ping is avg 50, would be great in many games, but is s*** in CS. :( And the game is so bunk, you get owned all the time if stuff doesn't like you. You know, stuff. :( -Slink

Well, I finished Blue-Shift abd am now playing Opposing Force. PLEASE tell me it gets better as it goes on, because so far it feels more like the original so far.

And that's when they can ***w me.

About OpFor, it is a bit corny also, but there is more versatility. Wait till you get the nifty teleporter gun! (Hint: only use the second attack.) The new weapons are way better. They aren't all new, but you should get/enable the hi def pack.

I have to admit, I think the end of HL was even worse than the end of HL2 (which was obviously a cliffhanger.)

I never played Blue s***.

Guys, HL is another genre of game. You don't get credit for wasting everyone, you don't get credit for anything, except staying alive. So the crowbar is BS and the weapons are bunk. If you want the Hi Def model pack, you can get it from Blue Shift, or if you have Steam, you can enable it here: http://www.jan-ripper.de/articles/steam_hd/index.html
That helps to make it a bit less ***king stupid. I find HL monotonous in comparison to OpFor, but that is me. Different people like different s***. It just seems like people seem to rally against HL just because of Valve. HL is an original, that didn't originally suck.
