The campaign is almost as good as HL's but the multiplayer is just the icing on the cake, Oh but the the cake is lie... oh well.

The protagonist isnt as great a Gordon Freeman, but Corporal Adrian Shephard is not bad at all.

But if he and Gordon had cross paths, things would have ended up badly.

Great for the first addon, but it is too similar to original game.

I liked this even better than the original Half-Life. The night vision goggles make seeing in the dark for long periods easy. Plus I enjoyed the creative new enemies and weapons.
