Half-life: Source

[JackSquat]

Is it worth the bother to pick up? I obviously already own the original Half-Life, so I'm wondering if Source is different enough to warrant buying.

Also, what about Black Mesa Source? I know it's not out yet, but what's the general consensus regarding that project around here?

Get the original. HLS looks kinda crappy tbh, and it leaves some stuff out.

it's considered one of the best mods in existence.

at least I hope so.

I love it.

but on the subject, I don't know about HL:S, may be worth it just for the comparison.

Really, I think Half Life: Source is just Half life except with ragdoll physics.

Blackout, by the sounds of your post, you've played "Black Mesa Source"?
Or were you just saying that it is EXPECTED to be the best mod ever?

He asked about "general consensus regarding that project around here", I can't really say that members of the hl2.net share the same enthusiasm with you...

HL: Source is probably not worth your money, if you never played original Half-Life you should get it. Don't wait for that Black Mesa Mod.

Don't wait for that Black Mesa Mod.

You don't see it ever reaching the light of day eh? Bummer. I hope you're wrong about that.

Probably not worth it unless you just want to own all valve games. It looks rather off in parts due to the goldsrc graphics with source lighting and water effects. You're better of just with the original to be honest.

Half life has more mods than Half Life Source.
