For those of you who dislike Half-Life, or think it's a "Piece of Trash", you are smokin crack. Half-Life delivered total shock to the action gaming community when it was released. When I bought it, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Although the action may not last through every friggin piece of the level, that's not what HL centers around. Action with Strategy and Tactics mixed in. You have to think to survive, not just run and shoot. The AI is incredible, especially those damn marines with their MP5's. And at the time, I'd play Half-Life over any other Fps'er out there, and I would still play it over good ol' UT. Yeas Deathmatch sucks on HL, and I admit that. But TFC rocks *** ! I don't buy this UT CTF bull****. Everyone the same type of player? Ack. The only thing that helps is runes. But I miss the thrill of being a spy and going up behind someone and knifing them a good one in the back. Or yelling at my team to get the hell back and defend the base. You just don't get the teamwork in UT CTF. You have to admit that. And look at how much more popular TFC is. At least 2,000 servers are on at ALL TIMES. And you get WAY better ping. So before you go trashing HL and TFC, and CS for that matter, you need to be good at it. If you suck at something, sure you'll hate it. Go out and actually get good at it and we may listen to your opinion. As for me, I used to run a TFC clan, so I know what I'm talking about. UT is good, but the CTF just doesn't cut it.
