It's been a long time since I have played through this game. I downloaded it again yesterday (via Steam) and fired it up for a level or two.
It has stood the test of time very well. Although it's obviously not a 2010 game in the visual department, it still looks great and plays like a proper shooter should. Running in 26" 1920x1200 with every possible setting maxed up, it looks ace, and runs at a million frames. The sound effects are awesomely old school, the story is gripping, and the combat is excellent. This was the game that pioneered some the visual effects that we take for granted these days.
If you haven't played it for a few years, I suggest you do. I know I am going to play all the way through again, and then do Ep1 & Ep2 for good measure. Where is Ep3 FFS? Half-Life 3...ever?
