This is the best game you will ever play in your life. It comes with 3 games in one pack and like that you won't have to miss the old episodes. Even though a very hot game is coming out on Sept. 2 2000 called Hostile Takeover with a terrorist situation. Half of half life is fiction and non-fiction,well you'll find out when you play if you don't have it.

Best Pack in the World!!

I think that this is probably the best pack out of all of them. Who care about Counter Strike. If you buy a pack that includes CS you are paying extra money for a game that you can download for free on the internet!

Any way. Half Life has a great story. You are Gordon Freeman, a scientist for the Black Mesa research facility. Then. It all goes wrong. Aliens are everywhere. If thats not enough, there are government grunt troopers coming in also. You think they are here to save you. They are not.

Now for Opposing Force. You are the grunt. You have crash landed at the black mesa facility after you chopper was shot down by an unknown .....craft. What the hell is going on? You must find your way past alien life forms so you can get out of this hell hole. At the same time your mission is to find Gordon Freeman.

There are so many mods for this game its unbeleivable. This game is a MUST BUY. If you don't own it, well......I dont know what to say. Multiplayer rocks, single player rocks, everything rocks.

This is the best 3D-Shooter I have ever played. I've been playing this style of game since wolfenstein 3d, and I have never played one as much as I have played Half-Life. It is two years old and I still play it more than any other game I have. It has its faults, but none of them interfere with the actual gameplay. What makes this game so much better than all the rest is the amount of MODs or modifications that exist. For those of you who don't know, Programmers of 3D shooters often release the code for their games so that people who play the game can make modifications and add-ons for the original. Half-Life has 2 of the most popular 3D shooter MODs. Team Fortress and Counter-Strike are the two most evil things that have ever existed on the planet. If you have never spent a beautful summer month entirely indoors, and you buy this game, expect not to talk to your friends in person for a while. WARNING! This game has addictive properties and will call you when you are in your bed, when you are at work, when you are on vacation.

A great value, but really only 2 games

This is a really good value, because you get the expansion pack and half life, which are both great games, but TFC you can get free off the internet and is automatically included in the update you must do to play multiplayer.

Although this is a great bundle of games, I suggest againstbuying it. The Team Fortress add-on is free online and OP-FOR is only marginaly good compared to the original Half-Life. In my opinion you should go and try to find one of the old versions for $20 and just download the update for it...

The best game ever now with expansion packs!

Half life isn't a game, it's a way of life. The most involving and enjoyable game ever produced for the PC it pulls you into the world of Gordon Freeman and his escape from the Black Mesa Research Facility.

Essential a First Person Shooter with style, Half Life has incredible graphics and attention to detail, the helicopters being a fine example.

Be warned, this game is HUGE, it goes on for ages and never gets boring. The slight downside is that there's a section at the end on Xen, the alien planet which changes tack too much and can be frustrating to complete.

The expansion pack Opposing Force is a worthy sequel to the original game taking the action from a different angle. This time you play a marine who's out to get Gordon Freeman and the good thing is that there are fellow soliders (with pretty good AI) who are there to help you.

Simply put this game is the business, from the introduction sequence, the alien AI, the graphics and the smooth gameplay there is nothing better. Buy it.

This Game Rocks The House Down

When i bought this game I wasn't expecting it to be that great. I bought it cause of a friend who told me it would be good. When I played it it was awesome. The graphics were great. It was blood 'o' rama. (if you like that sort of thing , which i do) When you start out you are a player looking to save the world from villans who came from a test lab experiment. It is great but can be freaky (makes you jump) sometimes (when you play in the dark with headphones on fairly loud. I recommend playing like that.).But over all i gave this 5 stars because of the intense playing and the great graphics!!!

Listen to this...

Hello, well getting right to the business. As a experianced well knowledged gamer,since quake and even as early as doom,i thought i should help you people out on this one. Half Life, the best game ever,great graphics, great plot, great everything. OPposing Force= not so good everything. Very boring, not well put together. not a good plot.Now, what the greatest thing about The half life experiance?Multiplayer. By far, THE best MODS(modifications to the game) Out there. You will pee your pants when you discover all the MODS that half life brings, Team fortress classic,Where you and fellow teamattes defend your flag and base from on coming enemies. Or counter-Strike,where terrorrist and conter terrorrist forces collide in heated online gaming action whether to bomb a nuclear arsenal, or kill a VIP or rescue hostages. Or Action Half life, were the 70s action flicks come back to life, more realistic than the others too. and many many many more. you'll be leaching on to your seat while playing these games, a must. So when you Buy half life, like the other guy said, Buy the seperate "Game OF the Year" for a cheap price, and download off the internet all the great MODS you want FREE , yes thats right FREE. TFC, CounterStrike, ActionHL, Phineas, OZdmatch, svnCooperative, etc. etc. ONLINE my friends, is the greatest thing of beauty half life has to offer
