A tribute thread to this revolutionary game, and probably my all time favorite  Its bright orange box, the cool-ness of the story, the amazing graphics.. ahhhh 
I can still remember this games release vividly. My uncle was in between moving houses, and was staying at my grandparents house over christmas 1998. He had just bought himself a new computer and at this time, I wasnt familiar with gaming on a computer. All I had was my consoles. He told me about this game where you control a scientist who has a crowbar in a secret military base that is over run by aliens from another dimension.
They just dont make games like this any more  I would go as far as saying this game changed my life, I played it with my uncle for months, completing it 20-30 times, yet it never got old. All of the games that it spawned after its release, counter strike, team fortress, etc.. all more games which I spent my early teenage years playing.

Yup, definitely best game of all time. Period.

They've committed to releasing it in 2009 (probably late 2009). I'm salivating over the thought of experiencing Half Life with modern technology and assets.

I remember when this game came out I didn't have a computer of my own or capable of playing it. So I ended up taking over a friends computer every chance he gave me after school. The scripted sequences were the most interesting and exciting thing to witness in a pc game! To walk into a room and witness a bunch of monsters duking it out and if they got a glimpse of you - you became equal game - ahhhhh suspenseful! Some of them were so enjoyable it was great to have a save point and relive it whenever you wanted...
One of my all time favorite old action/adventure games for sure and now that someone is remaking it I can enjoy it with updated graphics that's awesome!
I didn't even care to finish the game personally - as soon as Gordon was teleported to the alien world the game became un-interesting to me - so much shit constantly attacking you I couldn't think or keep track of where I was going - as I was always trying to fend off this alien or that alien but top notch game before that for sure!!!

I have to agree, the alien world sucked big time...

We'll be lucky if BMS is released at all.
This game definately holds the place as my all-time favorite game. It was the first game I ever finished on my own, it felt great.

I remember having to drive late at night to a town some 100 miles from me to get a bootleg copy of those old release compilations where Halflife was one of them, didn't matter what else was on those cd's, i just had to have Halflife.
Installed it at 3 pm with 5 of my friends all of us looking at the screen and started playing it while the others gave ideas and help until the next one took over....man what a night that was, some might say that it should have been only them playing it but we all felt it was the greatest way to start that game, played until the early morning and then burned everyone a copy of it .
The best defining moment in that game for me was when Freeman comes out of a shaft inside a factory unto desert ground, in a cave like structure, with sunlight shining down. The sound of gravel under your feet and the sunlight shining on you....at that time it was winter as we all remember, and i had a sudden feeling of missing the summertime just from entering that place, because it all came together, the sound and the view. Still remember that first time i entered that place hehe.
I think i have reinstalled that game about 20 times since then, when HL2 came out it was also amazing, but after i finished that game i instantly installed the first again and enjoyed a return hehe.
Great game, the yardstick of all FPS since then. None have really come close when we talk outside the Black Mesa francise .... too bad really...
Wonder how HL EP3 is going to be....
And yes, when or IF BMS comes out i will once again be exiting the train, walk to the door, open it and walk down the hallway to the clerk and then turn right towards the good old adventure..... .
