What does Classic Mode do?

[Originope]

I've seen that there is a button in the Half-Life campaign hub map that is supposed to toggle "Classic Mode". What does Classic Mode change/do exactly?

[CryoKeen]

I don't know much but I think it has something to do with keeping things closer to the HL1 storyline. No Race X weapons or Op4 weapons if thats on I think

I'm looking more for direct, acurate answers here but ok

Classic Mode for Half-Life Single Player

One of the more notable features coming in the Steam release is "Classic Mode" for the Half-Life single player co-op campaign. It's a special mode that will revert things like weapons and various gameplay mechanics to classic Half-Life. Some things won't be reverted (e.g. Co-operative changes to Barnacles, Player Medkits, the Gargantua's ability to feast on Players, etc.). We'll continue to refine this mode after receiving feedback from the community.
