Don't waste your time and money on this game.

It isn't worth it. If you get it as a part of the Valve Complete Pack and also own Gmod, you're in luck as this gives you original HL models in the game. If buying this independently, just go buy the original instead, or if you want to play an actual good remake, go play Black Mesa. It's a crappy port to the Source Engine of the original GoldSrc game and also comes with a lot of bugs. One such and very famous example is this infamous image of a floating scientist.

There are a few pros to this port, however the cons outweigh them. A few positives are that the flashlight lighting is better than the original, this game gives you Gmod models, the ragdolls are cool, and there is nostalgic value for me and probably some other people because I was a fan of the Freeman's Mind series, which was recorded on this port of the game. However, there are many bugs and glitches, strange lighting, out-of-place water, etc. If you would like to learn more, LamWarp has an excellent video explaining many of the problems with this game. I'll link it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6409apz4js There is also a deathmatch part of this game which I haven't played yet, but apparently it's fine. In conclusion, just get the original or Black Mesa.
