This not being up on steam for everyone to experience is a crime against humanity and an affront to god.

First off; the GUNS.
About every gun is customizable. and no i don't mean "add a suppresor" or some LAME BABY SHIT like that!

Your pistol unlike most games of the period remains useful for the whole game, it can switch between working like a halo plasma pistol, a laser gun and even sniper riffle!

Your shotgun lets you adjust the tightness of the spread and lets you choose how many shells you fire per shot. you can load up to 4 shells which is so many; the recoil physically moves the player like, 2ft backwards.

If i keep talking about the weapons i'll be here forever. but, it can not be understated how awesome the customization systems are in this. i have never seen a game with a system like this.

The story kinda has a crappy b-movie esque charm to it and is mostly held up a by a evil AI turned allies by circumstance.

The music is actually pretty good and the game itself looks great for GldSrc. even today it might be the best game i've seen in the engine.

Set-piecing is great, you go from a space station, to ancient ruins, to a laboratory on a moon in descending orbit, to a old-west styled planet, its all just really creative and cool.

Fun fact: all the textures in the game were hand made by clay. it gives the visuals a very unique feel you don't see anywhere else.

to close it off; PLAY THIS. go to Moddb and and get it. its free if you own Half-Life.
if you complete the install progress and it doesn't show up in steam, check your hidden games.

Valve wont put this on steam cus if they did nobody would buy anything else.
