i dont have half life but i was wondering if i could play it since i have l4d2 portal and l4d1 which all use the source engine would it still work?

Obraxis

No.

You can buy it, or you can buy Half-Life: Source. Half-Life is not a mod.

ill try it anyway thanks for the reply but if it works ill be sure to tell you so you can put it up on the site or something

It will not work, sorry. You need a proper HL or CS install for this to work. NS1 is in addition completely unrelated to Source.

Make sure you actually get the old game and not the new source version! NS runs on the goldSRC engine dating back to 1998.

Not this^^^^


At one point you could run HL mods from CS (and sometimes DOD), however I believe that valve removed that ability (and blocked the workarounds). Do what Kouji said, and buy HL.

Ah, sorry. Wasn't aware of that change.
