(Un) Official Half Life Series thread

Half-Life is a science fiction first-person shooter video game developed by Valve Software and the company's debut product. First released by Sierra Studios on November 19, 1998, the game was also released for the PlayStation 2 on November 14, 2001.[2] In Half-Life, players assume the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a recent graduate theoretical physicist who must fight his way out of a secret underground research facility, whose research and experiments into teleportation technology have gone wrong.

Valve, set up by former Microsoft employees, had difficulty finding a publisher for the game, with many believing that it was "too ambitious" a project. Sierra On-Line eventually signed the game after expressing interest in making a 3D action game. The game had its first major public appearance at the 1997 Electronic Entertainment Expo. Designed for Microsoft Windows, the game uses a heavily modified version of the Quake engine, called GoldSrc.[1][3]

On its release, critics hailed its overall presentation and numerous scripted sequences, and it won over 50 PC Game of the Year awards.[4][5] Its gameplay influenced first-person shooters for years to come, and it has since been regarded as one of the greatest games of all time.[6] As of November 16, 2004, Half-Life has sold eight million copies.[7] As of July 14, 2006, the Half-Life franchise has sold over 20 million units.[8] In celebration of the game's 10th anniversary, Valve lowered the price of Half-Life to U.S. $0.98 on November 19, 2008 for three days.

I never played Half-Life actually and I don't want to anyway, I'll just play Black Mesa if it ever comes out.

That's not because I don't want to pay for HL, but if I can have the same story with better graphics and physics, I'll wait for that of course.

I own Half-Life anyway I'm still fucking plying it so long as I have a save after On a Rail.

I have the original half-life, half-life 2, episode 1, and episode 2. Waiting for both Black Mesa and episode 3 to come out.

Marlwolf78 In '87, Huey released this, Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to Be Square," a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. Dec 2009 Posts: 23	A what?
