MODERATORS
That description does not do justice to the games at the time that they were released. Half life 1 was groundbreaking in its approach of environmental challenges and puzzles, for example. Opposing force was one of the coolest expansions.
Maybe if you play them now they are nothing spectacular to you, but that's perhaps because for 25 years other games have been copying the style of HL1 so you're used to it.
I played them when they were new, well newish in 2001. I am not saying that they are bad, they just weren't strong in the areas that I think are the most important.
Fair enough. Different tastes for different people.
