Half-Life or Half-Life Source?
And which has the best mods? Just wondering what the best way to play through the game is. And is Black Mesa still coming to Steam?

Half-Life Source has no mod support, AFAIK. Black Mesa is still coming.

Depends on what level of nostalgia you want. I would say

There aren't really any mods for HL:S. However, there are a lot of good mods for HL Goldsource.

Nostalgia isn't too big of an issue for me since I never completed the game. I'm just looking for the best graphical experience, basically. So I guess my options are the original with mods, Source, or waiting for Black Mesa?

There are no mods for the Source version, as A-06 said, Black Mesa is here; but if you want to play mods, Half Life (the original) is the one you need. :gordon:

If you're running on a older machine, get Half-LIfe GoldSrc!

Get the original HL but install the SD pack from here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1445333

Forget the other mods for the first playthrough, unless you really like the sound of them.

If you only want to play with better graphics you can go with source as well. You can find good models, as well as some ENB series pizaz (bloom, ssao, desaturation, etc etc). But, if you don´t mind giving up graphics shaders, I'd recommend goldsrc version. You can try the expansions and a lot of gameplay mods. There are excellent models and textures (easiest one is in the community guides for the game, and has pretty good results).

Half-Life: Source if want to play half-Life with the same graphics, but on the sourc engine. Or if you own Garry's Mod, because then you will be able to use HL:S maps and npcs in it.

i suggest HL1 source with this HD pack http://hls.gamebanana.com/skins/15204

You can also try the "ultimate definiton" mod http://www.moddb.com/mods/ultimate-definition

I love the original Half life without any hd textures, I think its just perfect with the release textures

Personally, I prefer oldschool Half-Life to source. You can't gib dead enemies in source, and the high-definition water and smoke effects look out of place next to the 1998 graphics of everything else. Also, tons of people still play multiplayer on the oldschool version, whereas source multiplayer is completely dead.

Funny that you say that, everytime I'm on Half-Life GoldSrc multiplayer, there's hardly anyone playing...
