It's Half-life 1, but it's on the Source engine.

Pros:
- It's Half-life 1
- It has somewhat better-looking graphics
- Ross Scott used it for Freeman's mind….. Yeah, I can't think of anything else besides it being HL1 and having somewhat better-looking graphics.

Cons:
- This port feels weird, I don't know why that is, but I feel odd when playing this. I think it may be a lot of things about this port that makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's because of the slightly faster movement, the ragdoll physics, the new and improved lighting, or how blowing up enemies feels less satisfying. This game is too weird for me, I am more use to the Gold Source version/ original more than this port.


Half-life Source is just an unusual thing that came from Valve. To be honest with you, nobody wanted this port to begin with. Back then, when people heard Half-life 1 was being ported into the Source Engine, most people originally and mistakenly thought it was a remake; which people really wanted. But, it wasn't and most people weren't interested anymore. I think Valve also had another plan to port Source into Half-life Opposing Force; but, after the mixed criticism of Half-life Source, they cut the project (who knows, probably a smart move).

We would have to wait a long time for an actual Half-life 1 remake, which was Black Mesa. Although it's a mod, it's still a damn good game.
Another group named Tripmine Studio is trying to remake Half-Life: Opposing Force and Blue Shift (those mods are under the names Operation Black Mesa and Guard Duty).

In conclusion, is Half-life Source good?
Half-life Source is kind of like ordering something that sounds delicious, but then, you look at it and it looks like somebody got it from the garbage.

Just play the original or buy Black Mesa. I wouldn't recommend this port unless you wanted to have another reason to play Half-life 1 again, like me.
If this is your first time playing Half-life, THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Go play the original game and have fun. Also, please don’t play Black Mesa first, play it after.

I don't approve this version of Half-life 1; but, I'll play it if I want to play Half-life 1 again differently.
