NOTE: This is the regular version, not the Source version with updated graphics. |

It's the non-Source version. Already have this one in my Steam Games list. Would have jumped on it if it was the Source version with the updated graphics. Seriously, why do they even bother distributing the older version with the original graphics when they have the upgraded version just as easily? |

Half Life Source doesnt make much sense- overall regular Half Life feels better. They only upgraded the water effects and rag doll physics for Source and left all the textures the way they are from what I understand, so you get high resolution water conflicting with the low resolution textures which looks very odd. |

I remember helping my friend pick a Geforce2 card to run the original. |

In for one copy! I've played Half-Life 2, episode 1 and 2, but never the original. |

No, HL:Source just updated the original game from the 1998 graphics engine to the 2004 graphics engine. Same gameplay of HL-1 but graphics of HL-2.

So does this mean I can finally play the original CS on Steam if I buy HL? |

haha, if you do actually still not own HL1, that means you most likely don't have orange box or left 4 dead... you would be doing yourself a favor and just going with the valve catalog for $100 PKJai said:So does this mean I can finally play the original CS on Steam if I buy HL? No. You still need to buy CS separately. |
there is a whole lot of gaming goodness in that deal.-

Probably stupid question - but does anyone know if this version comes with a key that will work for counter strike online? Thanks! |

will this work on the WalMart laptop from Saturday Nov. 8th? I upgraded the RAM to 4gb. No video card though. Minimum requirements - 16mb video card, recommended - 32mb+ video card.

Why? Original HL will run just fine on that laptop. Bad news is he wasted $ on upgrading RAM (2 GB is plenty for VB) and the low quality LCD will most likely result in major motion blur. c0v3rr1d3 said:i hope you are joking. |

HL2 (Source) plays alot better online than HL1, IMHO. I would argue that single-person gameplay is better too, but maybe that's subjective since some people seem to prefer the older engine. |

This is a great game - I have it for PS2, but tempted to get the computer version at this price. |
