No single one event from addons has any impact to HL2/episodes/portals. Race-X? Is it b-movie from pre-VHS age?) The third and the most: Their storylines have very uncertain level of canonicity, which was stated by many Valve employees including Marc Laidlaw, lead writer of the series. Second: they weren't develop by Valve and you can totally feel it (no I'm not Valve fanboy and no, I'm not Gearbox hater, just. First: their gameplay is almost identical to HL. So play it after you finish whole story if you won't be tired of HL at that point)ģ - HL1, HL2, HL2EP1, HL2EP2 Oh, boy, I hope op4 fans won't eat me alive) BS an OP4 are not on my list for many reasons.

It's awesome from many standpoints, but it's not mandatory to play. Reasons are bugs and changed artistic perception: HLSource just doesn't look and play like the original one.Ģ - Better play Black Mesa after all BM is remake of HL1.

So come back when you're done with all the other HL games and ask people which mods are the best and you'll get a nice list there too.ġ - Obviously original HL1 This topic was discussed many times around here. But there are also a lot of really good mods like Minerva Metastasis that I'd recommend before Black Mesa even, and they're free. So I would avoid it until after you've played everything else and you're just hungry for more. It's good, but not as good as anything in the official series. Oh, on Black Mesa: It's a remake of HL1, but many of the levels have been changed to modernize the gameplay. It's fun to play but I don't think anyone thinks of it as canon (not that there's really any story to it).īut odds are you'll want to play everything because it's all so good. Lost Coast was more of a tech demo/cut level from Half-Life 2. They're canon, but the stories are less intrinsic to the overall HL story arc. They're spin-off games and you don't play as Gordon Freeman, and they weren't made by Valve. You can take out Blue Shift and Opposing Force if you want and come back to them later.
