ok i finished half life 2 and all the episodes from the orange box and i loved it now i want to go back and play the first half life, so i bought the ps2 version to try and get some back story but it just doesnt feel right? im thinking about buy half life source game version off of steam since its pretty cheap and i was wondering if it would be worth it or should i just stick to the ps2 version that i also got real cheap?
am i missing out on anything from the first game if i just continue with the ps2 version?
thanks everyone
Half-Life
A celebrated series of award-winning FPS games which has consistently pushed the limits and expectations of the first-person shooter genre since its inception.
half life source for pc or half life for the ps2??
I've never tried source, but Half-life should be played with a mouse and keyboard. It's the only way it feels right.
Yeah I beat Half Life 2 first also, and I tried it for the ps2 and it feels like a fake version : P
Go get the Pc version you won`t be dissapointed.
I'm playing through HL (PS2) right now and I'm loving it. It has the "High-Def" character models and I love using console controllers for FPSs (although I'd rather have the 360 controller with its concave triggers). I know I'm in the minority when I say that, but I really dislike the (admittedly, more accurate) mouse and keyboard setup. Also of note, you get the two player Decay expansion on the PS2 disc.
Whatever you choose, you're golden because the game is amazing.

I don't understand how people can say it's crap on PS2 when it's the exact same game. The only thing that's really different is the controls, and the PS2 version supports mouse and keyboard peripherals, I believe. Like RenegadeSaint says, whichever way you choose to play HL, you're going to have an awesome experience with a fantastic game.

Interestingly enough the ps2 version has co-op. Which is actually a lot of fun.
