You're not going to be able to play this online right out of the box. You're immediately forced to download Valve's multiplayer client called Steam. This download, for all the games included here, is a WHOPPING 723 MB! It doesn't stop there, either. Each one of these games has patches that have to be applied, and each one is approx 64 MB!

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Valve offers NO tech support! These 'community' leaders expect the community to help you. IF YOU SCREW UP YOUR REGISTRATION KEY IT'S OVER! Don't expect any help from Valve. They do not respond to tech support requests. Also, cheaters abound! There are many ways to cheat. Valve has nothing to address the issue of cheaters. However, the community has stepped up to make mods to prevent cheaters, but as soon as they do, Valve steps up to undo what the community has done saying that only Valve has the right to provide anti-cheat patches. Some community, eh? Here's a capitalist telling everyone to act like communists, but the capitalist community leader fails to take any responsibility.

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! Just say no to this unethical business plan. There are other games that don't play games with their 'community', and don't expect the consumer to download countless patches immediately upon opening the box.

Mediocre Game

I can not figure out why people think this game is so great. I played the original halflife years ago and I thought it was ok, just ok. It has cheezy monsters, the graphics are outdated, game play is mediocre in my opinion. The controls do not work as smoothly as most games. I started playing opposing forces and I just can not get into it. A lot of the puzzles are illogical. With all the other games out today, I feel I wasted my money on this, even though there are five games included. So if you want an outdated mediocre game get this. I have played return to castle wolfenstein about 50 times, I am playing right now as matter of a fact and I still like playing it better than anything in halflife platinum. Maybe the halflife online games are good, I don't know I don't play games online. There you have it.

DON'T BUY

This is probably one of the most fun games ever to hit the stores. It is very challenging, and very intense.

The reason I give this game three stars, is because of the constant violence.

My GOD!!! this game is all you need to play, the gameplay is fantastic, the graphics awesome, the sound terrific, and the best: the continued relasing of hundreds of mods over the internet.

The only complain is that doesn't include Condition Zero (2 disc) that's why I give it 4 stras to the overall, maybe Valve should make a DVD edition of this pack, yeah! the PLAT. COLL. 3rd EDITION

But this game is best of the bests!!!

Half-Life is as good as the new games

I found Half-Life to be as good as many current games out now. It reminded me of Soldier of Fortune 2 and Doom 3 (but with the lights on). I was very satisfied. The only problem I had was the firewall, I had to open some ports to play online.

These games are well worth your time.

The games in this bundle are old, the graphics are pretty bad, however, the gameplay is awesome, a complete blast from the past! Expect at LEAST 40+ hours of single player gaming, and much more on the multiplayer (Best over LAN). Well worth your time and money.

Great Classic

This game rocks it was groundbreaking and the marine A.I. is a force to contend with. But my favorite thing about this collection is the online multiplayer primarily Day of Defeat a WWII based Nazis vs. allies game it rocks!!! so challenging and fun! Cant wait for Day of Defeat Source from Half Life 2.
