yeah, the first half life got boring pretty quick, basically, you are a scientist in a top secret research facility, The BLack Mesa compound. Apparently this underground compound specializes in the playing-around-with of the most dangerous stuff known to man cuz the experimentation goes wrong, a radioactive isotope goes crazy and opens some sort of portal allowing aliens and those vicious headcrabs that convert humans into zombies to invade earth. Anyways, you almost instantaneously change from wimpy wuss researcher to a gun slinger. First you fight your way to the surface of the compound, where you find the authorities, unfortunately for you, they try to contain the disaster by killing everything related to it, including you. So you set off to kill them. This is the point where i stoped playing the sp, and moved to the online joys of HL.
