I don't know If I should buy Half Life or Half Life Source....... Plz Help....

[Souper {AG}]

Half Life is the original game with original soundtrack and has so many fantastic free mods from me to choose from, However, HL Source has Multiplayer servers, and NPC's can be ported and spawned into Garry's Mod.

Which one should I buy!!???

[PathologicalFrolic]

Half life source doesnt have mutiplayer servers. But half life 1 does. Half life doesnt have ragdoll physhics but half life source does and has better graphics HALF LIFE SOURCE CAN BE BUGGY

Standard HL for mods.

[Madman]

pick standard half-life, half-life source is buggy as ♥♥♥♥, and the ragdolls are useless anyways, the npcs are pretty much useless in garrysmod, and the "better graphics" dont even look good because your attaching HDR and ♥♥♥♥ to a game that was made in 1998. the original half-life has tons of great mods, a decent multiplayer community even though the players are kind of diminishing, and if you like, you can buy the expansions which are not ported to source

Correct me if I'm wrong but Blue shift and Opposing Force, are like standalone expansions, thus Half life is not needed to run them.

Also, Half Life source adds chapter selection, which the original Half-Life lacks.

Still the MP community and the mods should make you buy the original version indeed.

"better graphics" I loled hard. Stick to the Original man.

only blueshift is standalone
half life-source have better graphics indeed, i just got the game for replay the game in source
the steam version doesnt even have D3D api only opengl and software left.(on D3D looked the best the game)

but if you want opposing force, MP and mods buy the original
Half-life source can give you better single player experience

I beg to differ. I owned Opposing Force before HL1, and it ran fine.

then steam version is different :) good to hear
the original cd release is not standalone, it needs the basic half life for sure

[The M4g|c ^_^ !]

well if you like old school gaming half life 1, half life source is just a better graphics version of it :)

[aquairumdude]

half life 1 hands down the best

[76561198392262390]

half life source, Ive noticed for newer cpus and operating systems half life 1 (original) is just as, if not more buggy.

[black mesa security]

source is garbage

[CoreRelief]

I got both.

[Turambar]

Source is garbage when you only want to play the multiplayer option, but the history mode is better than original. Problem is it is full of bugs so do not buy it.

Originally Opposing Force needed Half-Life to run because it was an oficial expansion while Blue ♥♥♥♥♥ was a second official standalone game.

However, if you want to play the third official expansion Half-Life: Decay by using the PC fan made port, you will need Half life to run it.

If you like the saga, source can be considered by paying some cents when it is with a disccount. But never the full price. It doesn't deserve such money. Not in it's actual shape.

You would rather play the Goldsrc Half-Life because Half-Life: Source right now after SteamPipe is so messed up, and completely buggy. If you want to play Half-Life: Source, better find it somewhere, and play the version before the SteamPipe update.

Otherwise, just play Black Mesa (Half-Life remake - no Xen for now...... but SOON!!!!) if you want to play on the Source Engine.

Your call...
