[QUOTE=Sabrina;28827001]Not to mention original is actually harder.[/QUOTE]

I disagree.

The Soldier AI, I found, was much more challenging in the Source version.

[QUOTE=leonthefox;28811242]You should get the Original, Source is just a port, the only notable differences are the ragdolls and the water, everything else is shit[/QUOTE]

I guess I would say the worst part of Half-Life: Source is the aura of bandwagon effect that constantly engulfs it.

*Ahem*

I've played it myself, and it really isn't that bad. Though I'd still recommend HL over HL:S to anyone who has never played or owned either for several reasons.

[QUOTE=PeccoPecco;28855555]I disagree.

Not really. Marines are actually pretty oblivious in HL:S. For example, if you fire an AR 'nade at a marine from behind, he takes off running like a madman in HL, but does nothing in HL:S and gets blown up. Hornets also seem to be easier to dodge in HL:S.

Butthurter doesn't even own HL:S. :keke:

I've never played HLDM but Sven Co-op is still fun as hell, IMO.

[DrBreen]

Valve was going to do co-op as an mp component instead of deathmatch.

They should've done co-op to set as example for future generation games, only 10 years later they begin to see how much better co-operation is than just killing your friends.

This is a silly complaint

You're basically complaining about minor stuff while ignoring the big point: How many games have ANY functioning multiplayer servers a decade and a half after their release? That's a testament to the game's quality and staying power, sure, but that doesn't mean Valve are obligated to support it for the rest of their natural lives. They made HL. It's done. Take it or leave it. Don't blame Valve for having moved on in 2011.

Too fast paced for me to enjoy.

"player" has left the game

THATS THE END OF THE LINE FOR YOU

I love HL multiplayer, but to expect it to have a large base still is kind of retarded. A couple of people still play, of course, but usually you need to look.
