| {{hl|4}}, [[Valve]]'s debut 1998 title, blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a [[Black Mesa Research Facility|frighteningly realistic world]] where players must think to survive. Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, it also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world.
| |
| | |
| ''Half-Life'' is also the debut of the {{gldsrc|4.1}} engine, and was followed by a {{src|4.1}} engine sequel in 2004, {{hl2|4}}.
| |
| | |
| A {{ps2|1}} [[Half-Life (PS2)|port of the game]] was released in 2001, developed by [[Gearbox Software]], which features many changes which were not present in the PC version of the game.
| |
| | |
| On November 17, 2023, the game received a major update for its 25th anniversary{{ref|1}}, restoring the retail/WON menu UI, implementing proper widescreen support with Hor+ [[FOV]] and better UI scaling for high-DPI and 4K (or higher) displays, partially fixing support for overbright lighting, and much more. The game was also available for free to keep until November 20. Additionally, {{uplink|4}} and content from {{hlfd|4}} was added to the game. The downside with this update however, is that several non-standalone GoldSrc mods (except custom content and textures) and games (like {{cs|3}}, {{tfc|3}} and more) were initially broken with this update; Valve provides a beta build ({{code|steam_legacy}}) to revert to the version prior to the update, to fix the mod incompatibility.
