Adrenaline Pack

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.

Best Pack in the World!!

You wanna know how good this game is? I'll tell you. This game came out in 1998, which is eons ago in the gaming world, and I'm still playing it daily. I play Unreal Tournament and Rogue Spear fairly often, but given the choice, I'd pick this one (and its Team Fortress mod) in a heartbeat over the others. The single-player experience is cinematic, scary, intense and addictive. From the get go, you are immersed in the world of the game and you never want it to end. Although of course the game does end, it's not much of a problem because that's when you can just get online and play Team Fortress with others over the internet. The mod is such addictive fun that you'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming from it for food and sleep. It's THAT good....entertainment that keeps you coming back for such an extended length of time.

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!!!

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...

Almost 3 Games in 1, But Still VERY Worth It

I'd heard about Half-Life--this supposedly incredible game from Sierra. But I'm not a fan of the first person shooter, so I thought, "Why bother?" But because I was curious about all the hype, I decided to go ahead and download the demo. That's all it took, and I was hooked.

I immediately went out and bought the Adrenaline Pack and have LOVED it. Maybe it the intensity of the gameplay. Maybe it's the beautiful graphics. Maybe it's the realism, music, and sound. Maybe it's the sheer fun. But in any event, it's the 1st first-person shooter I've really REALLY had fun with since the initial DOOM days, and worth every penny.

Yes, Team Fortess (which you play with against others over the internet) is a free download you can get with the Half-Life game, which is cheaper, but you'll want Oppossing Forces as well, so get it. To give you a low-down on the difference between the other two games, in Half-Life, you're alone (for the most part) and fighting your way out of the Black Mesa facility. In Opposing Force, your the Opposing Force to the guy you played in Half-Life, but you're not alone. Many times you'll find yourself leading a squad of rough and tough soldiers with different special abilities, and it's intense and realistic!

Cool features: Turn on/off blood. It matters where you shoot creatures and/or people to determine how injured they become (unlike Quake), and can outright die with one shot if well placed. (Aim for the head!) The sniper rifle is VERY sweet. And finally, as your team members get injured, it's visible in how they talk and walk. (They LIMP, if you can believe it, so you have to wait for them as they lag behind!)

Overall, very cool game, very cool gameplay, very realistic and VERY fun. A must for the die-hard gamer, or for someone who's not, like myself! (I NEVER buy games when they first come out. Just too expensive. But this one, I made an exception for, and haven't regretted it one bit.

Possibly The Best Group Of Games Ever Made

From the moment you enter the Black Mesa Facility to the exciting and extremely cool end, you will be gripped and amazed by Half-Life, and the Expansion pack;Opposing Force. They are both incredibly good games with tons of action and excitement, but a great story and depth to back it up. Half-Life takes you through the game through the eyes of Gordon Freeman, a scientist who is the last hope for everyone at the destroyed Black Mesa Facility, but Opposing Force allows you to witness the game through the eyes of a military soldier, sent in to kill the aliens, scientists, and Freeman especially. They are both incredible experiences and very intense (going through pitch black sewers and venting shafts with aliens just screaming and popping out at you is pretty intense). Team Fortress Classic is a bit different than these two games but allows for really fun multiplayer experiences. This game package has great variety and deserves a perfect five stars. Everything from graphics to gameplay is incredible. Enjoy!

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.

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

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.
