As for Blueshift, I seriously hope they update the graphics and not full a add physics and crap like they did on Half-Life 1: Source. I'll be sad if they do...

It's not going to be Blue Shift: Source dude... It's just going to be regular HL1 engine Blue Shift.

I think Valve should release DOD source instead. Its only been about a year since HL2 was released, and DOD source was advertised with it.

You guys should be grateful that Valve is releasing Blue-Shift for you guys for free. Thank them for that. They did not include Blue-Shift on the back-catologe.



Thanks Valve! Even though you guys messed up on the storyline of HL2 (too short)...

[Urban Terror]

My question is, who can be that excited about Blue Shift being ported to source? Anyone who has played the original knows how short the game was, I finished it in around 1-2 hours when I got it. Its not a bad game, but I think it will go the way of HL source. People who have played the game before might play it a little bit when it comes out, but then never touch it again. If they were releasing DOD source, which they have had plenty of time to work on, then lots of people would play that.



I don't feel that Valve shouldn't release blue shift, but I'm concerned that DOD source has been promised for so long, and they seem to be working on other less important things. If they were releasing Lost coast or the HL2 expansion pack Aftermath, then things would be different, but Blue Shift? Come on.

since i thought it was the best hl expantion out of them all

You appear to have Blue Shift and confused with OpFor.



OpFor > Blue Shift, Blue Shift just had swisher models. I liked OpFor because it gave the sense of 'squad combat' even if picking up team mates and losing them was very pre defined.

It's not Half Life : Blue Shift Source. It's vanilla Blue Shift.

Sweet, Blue Shift. Good to see Valve's not totally forgetting the classic stuff... now if only they fix some of the other cosmetic errors in their old games, like the CS m4a4 world muzzle flash and player autosniper reload animation.

^ and silencers being shown on world models even if the silencer isn't on.
