<div class="IPBDescription">How many have done it?</div> Just wondering if there is anyone else out there who just like me and one of my friends bought Half-Life just to be able to play NS.
I haven't even tested the "real" game yet <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Packaged with Vortex2s? hrm, I know I had it before I had 3D, so it wasn't with a video card...damn, anyone know what HL would have been packaged with back then?
edit: I got my first real PC in 1997, maybe it was bundled with that? when was HL released?
Still have to regret it
well, although I feel rather cheated in that aspect, HL has been well worth the money ...

I hope your just talking about mp halflife cause sp halflife rules and is definetly worth playing through.
Played TFC for a long time (1998-1999).
Then I discovered the CS disc (1999-20??), got it to work (didn't install properly, hmm, reminds me of, well.....NS <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> ). Persuaded my TFC (UberL337 Engineer) friend to CS. We still play it.
Then I discovered NS on the brink of the release date(2001-20??). Jumped right in with the new broadband connex I just got and loved it.
Still have all my discs, and the best part is I have three keys. Spankeh!
And holy sh** CS was addictive, finally got bored after a year, switched to Starcraft and Tribes2...
Got into CS again (friend started a clan, and he really sucked so I jelped him) Then found out about NS at the start of 1.02 (never experienced turrets not dieing when tf did)
And by far NS is the best mod for Half-Life, although i'm waiting for Ring Of Power (a LotR mod) <a href='http://fotmod.flagrun.net/main.php' target='_blank'>http://fotmod.flagrun.net/main.php</a>
p.s. my won id is quite high: 208292
The only difference to the final version I noticed was the hud, but it doesn't really matter...
-1999 I played Half-Life again, a cracked final from a friends CD. It was great, again...
-1999 I found out that the CD mentioned above also contained JumBot. I played around with JumBot and thought "Wow! How much fun must this be with *real* humans?!"
-2000 I got to my first LAN, and it was even more fun than I had exspected (altough I still played with my cracked version <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> )
-2001 I got DSL and started thinking about playing Online...
Then I played CS (the mod i played on the LAN where it was great) online my first time and was dissappointed. Wasn't much fun being flamed at the whole time <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
-2001/2002 I found Day Of Defeat and it restored my faith in Half-Life multiplayer.
This was the time where I had become so addicted to Half-Life and its MODs that I decided that it simply deserved buying. I began to check my local stores for good offers...
-2002 I found out about Natural-Selection and two weeks before the release of Natural Selection v1.0, I finally bought Half-Life...
To make it short: Although not ONLY because of Natural-Selection, it's still one of my main reasons for buying Half-Life.
If a VALVe-Employee reads this: I would have bought Half-Life even without the MODs I think... sooner or later. With them, I bought it sooner.
The thing that really catched me on Half-Life was the ability to make my own content. I'm not a good mapper, but I CAN (or better COULD) map. That's something I had never experienced before for any game... And probably the reason why I bought Half-Life in the end...
I finished the game, and I really loved it.
Then, I decided to try worldcraft 2.0 which was on the CD, made some maps...
Finally, as I knew C++, I decided to download the SDK and I began a mod with a friend... and I'm still on it... with a bigger team now <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
I bought HL shortly after it was released. I bought HL to play HL single player. I went online to play some MP but found I liked SP better. CS? No. I didnt buy HL to play CS. CS wasnt even around at that time. And........ I never became a CS player. My wonid is also really low.... 27575.
My won id has not changed once. I have had this same wonid since the time I bought the game. I bought HL on 3/26/99.
[edit]
Went and checked HL receipt for buy date.

I remember saving up the cash to buy it after watching some guys give it a shot at Comp USA...it looked SO frikin cool. The Aliens and everything... Was a looong way from Quake 2 in a good way. The single player was the best ever, it was like a merged pre-alpha copy of Soldier of Fortune (realistic blood that stuck to surfaces was one of HLs cooler parts) and Deus Ex (the character interaction and plot).
Once you play through HL SP, you can never play another mindless kill fest type game without thinking "Hey...wheres the story???".
