They (gearbox) are actually making Decay for the computer now, I think it will be on HL1 source

I reckon the original was the best in terms of storyline and gameplay. Op4 had the gameplay but the storyline was just plain vanilla (You're a soldier fighting aliens. Now that's original!). Blue Shift was just c__p. Less weapons, less monsters, less action, less storyline, not to mention it had no multiplayer (!) [addsig]

Really, stop self-censoring your posts, the boards do it themselves

Blue Shift had less of everything, true, but the little it did, it did well. The puzzles, set-pieces, and Xen were all well done. Level design also seemed better in general. To me, it was also the closest to humanizing the NPC's. The various scientists and Dr. Rosenburg seemed a bit more real than NPC's in OpFor, where you would meet nameless soldiers who would be left behind for a jumping puzzle. Contrast this to Blue Shift, where Rosenburg accompanies you for several maps and then maintains contact for the rest of the map-pack. I just feel like I "got to know" Rosenburg better.

Plus, I'll never forget the Blue Shift disaster sequence. It's great.

I can't vote because:

A: My HL1 disk is so scratched it can't be validated

B: I don't have any add ons

Only the Blue Shift doesn't end with the boss. That was something new in HL. I think also that HL: BS have got more detailed maps that other parts haven't. [addsig]
