I want to get into playing half life mods... Thread

But Im not sure which game I should get to play the majority of half life mods, does it matter if its Half life episode 2, or just half life 2? Or would it be wisest to get orange box just to make sure? I basically want to know which game I should get to be able to play the majority of Half life 2 mods.

Basicly to be safe get the orange box, you may also need to get hl2 dm but its like $2

Take Orange Box, TF2 is the ultimate game. And get Counter Strike Source, you might come to love it.

Half-Life 1 has its fair share of good mods too.

Yeah, I'd kill to play Science & Industry, The Specialists or The Ship...
As far as I know, get Half-life (1) for HL mods but maaaany are quite dead or very low in population. Orangebox for Half-life 2 mods.
