Oi, just get GMOD and then wait for Black Mesa to come out.

[fenrif]

Id vote for Gmod, Half life is a good game, but theres not many games like Gmod out there... Its pretty damn unique. Plus all the extra stuff you can download for it make it infintatly replayable.


Some mods to check out:

spacebuild - Which lets you build spaceships, with working oxygen and fuel systems, and fly between planets

the wiremod (whos name i cant remember) - that lets you build circuits and makes every other thing much more complex

PC mod - that lets you build pcs and network them together in game

the various weapons mods - that let you build cannons and tanks and bombers that destroy
 objects in game

It's shorter than HL2. I think.
Although you can get it free through DigitalZone.
I'd go for GMOD anyway, since it's pretty much infinite replayability.

I have GMod.
It's frigging awesome.
So much fun can be had downloading new maps and weapons and unleashing them on EVERYTHING.
Personal favourite is the Anti-Tank Rifle. It shoots a beam of energy. If the beam collides with anything, it explodes, killing everything nearby.
And it is AWESOME.

I would get Gmod if you like building a base and playing some fun games with it.

but if you choose to get HL, you should download the "Natural Selection" multiplayer mod for it.
Its awesome, its like AvP except with base building. give it a google if your interested in it.

Natural Selection looks really interesting. As awesome as it looks, screw Black Mesa. It looks long dead, hasn't had a devlog update in ages. I'll go with Gmod, maybe get Half Life later.

Thanks for the help folks.

A lot of Garry's mod stuff requires Counter Strike models, so if you don't have that it kind of messes things up.

[Jackrabbit]

I thought vanilla Gmod 10 didn't have that problem?

[Volatar]

GMod all the way man. HL1, even with a number of play throughs, can't come close to the thousands of hours of possible fun GMod provides.

Not really. A good number of servers don't have CSS models, so unless you're playing Stranded (which is, admittedly, a very good gamemode), you won't really need them.

Once you get Gmod, register on the Wiremod forums and check out my server.

That might be a problem then. Should I get the Garry's Mod + CS pack, or is there a way to get the models through another source?

[Jackrabbit]

Well, it shouldn't be too crippling of a problem. That said, yeah, probably.

[fenrif]

For what its worth, I bought counter strike a few days after getting Gmod, just to use the models. Never actually played or had any interest in counterstrike at all

Yeah, you can do that. they have a huge network of tons of files n' shit. weapons, models, NPCs, props, you got it.

Not the CSS models. There's, you know, laws. But you can use the tools server owners use to load up their servers for free, and in theory you'd be able to get all the content you want (besides Portal and Episodic), but I haven't gotten it to actually work. At least I don't see giant red flashing ERRORs
