Not Worth Buying

HL is an awesome game with many modifications out there. The CDis not worth the price they charge. Counter-strike, Team Fortress, and Opposing Forces all come with the HL game of the year edition CD. Well, TFC and OPF at least hehe. CS is free to d/l off the web any way. The game is great, go buy hl:goty and d/l the updates so u can play tfc, opf, cs, dod, or whatever you like for free off the internet lol. If you're dumb you'd buy this to tell you the truth

THIS GAME SUCKS

Only uninformed people would ever buy the platinum edition of halflife. HalfLife is arguably the greatest PC Game of ALL TIME. It was the most innovational game ever to be released and every sing FPS out now is in some way influenced by it. However, counterstrike, team fortress, and about 150 other mods (or special multiplayer only games based on the halflife engine) can be downloaded 100% legally for free on there websites. Opposing forces was another good game but then again, it alone is not worth the money for the platinum edition. My suggestion? Go and buy the original HalfLife for under ten dollars and then go and buy Halflife Blue Shift. Blue Shift includes a new mission, blueshift (not included in platinum edition) as well as opposing force. It is a much better way to spend your money.

Do not buy this game.

This game was programmed by Valve and published by Sierra. It has allowed and continues to allow players to cheat, see through walls, autoaim, and do other things they should never be able to do while playing multiplayer. Neither of these companies will take responsibility and it has been years since these cheats were discovered. Just know that if you buy this game you're supporting a couple of irresponsible companies. My two cents. You've been warned.

Is'nt this just Generations with CS?

I brought HL:Generations the day it came out - I love it. I have also been playing CS (an included Modification) for about 2 years. This seems like a good product if you are starting out from scratch. But I would really recommend just buying Generations and getting CS of some kind of cover disk. By the time you buy this game - you'll have to patch it anyway. The biggist dissappointment is that it does NOT include the 3ed installment to the story, Blue Shift - This sees you playing as one of the Police officers named "Barnny".

Great Game, But Don't Buy This Edition

Half-Life is one of the best games ever created, but just warning you don't buy this version becaus... Team Fortress and Counter-Strike witch you can download of the Internet for free...! I recommend getting the Adrenaline Pack because you get Half-Life and the Expansion Pack together witch is $10.00 cheaper than buying them separately.

Now don't think that I am not recommending Half-Life because it is one of the greatest games ever made just don't buy this version, because you're wasting your money!

A great series

Half life platinum is a pretty nice collection but a little bit expensive for something you could get off the internet. I had a lot of trouble dealing with the collection, due to all the patches they make every day. If your looking for some multiplayer action, don't buy this unless you have a cable modem or better. Anyhting below that and your ...! I'm a 56k owner and I can't play ANY of the multiplayer games. So I pretty much payed 65 bucks (when it was new) for only the first and second game! Although for a long time I was able to play them all. While you can play the games, you'll be occupied for hours though! so not too bad.

Not the full Half-Life collection

Although it includes Opposing Force, Counter-Strike and Team Fortress Classic, it is filled mainly with things that you can download from the internet with the exception of Opposing Force. Team Fortress comes with the Half-Life patch, and the version of Counter-Strike that comes with the pack is the retail (buggy) version. I am running on a 512k ADSL connection and so the only 2 things in the pack I needed was Half-Life and Opposing Force...

Sierra has an newer version of the Platinum Edition but it is not reflected here on Amazon.com

It includes Half-Life, Team Fortress Classic, Opposing Force, Counter-Strike and Blue Shift. It is somewhat similar to the Generations Edition.

I think everybody has played this game,

and if you haven't, then don't bother playing it now. It's soo old, and the graphics are poor compared to current games. Other than the graphics and the I've-done-that-before feel it's a good game, but old!

Not a Gamer

Once you learn the controls, this game can get pretty wild. If you have trouble playing checkers on a computer, stay away. Half Life itself is incredible,but once on multiplayer,(LAN) if you're a little slow, you're toast. Some of the competitor's, let's say, I wouldn't want to meet in an alley. But..excellent game. Congrats to Sierra..!!
