Template:Infobox Half-Life (series) Key Points

Mod is a recreation and reimagination of the events of Half-Life in the modern Source engine.
There are some changes from the original game, for example, some items are located in different places.[1]
Only available in Windows, despite the fact that the Source engine has native Mac support. This is due to the fact that Source SDK Base 2007 has not been ported to Mac by Wikipedia:Valve.[2]
