* The chapters transitions are kind of random and not where you'd expect them. * What genius at Valve thought having three methods of up-down water traversal, all with different movement speeds, was a good idea? (Swim up/down vs duck/crouch vs aiming and forward/back) * Why doesn't Gordon have a helmet? No government health and safety would allow that. The rest you can shotgun in the face and the game doesn't care. * There's depressingly little need to save any of the Black Mesa staff, other than one or two essential door-unlockers. It also makes zero narrative sense given what Gordon goes though. * The knock out in Apprehension completely undermines what the game is doing re: the unbroken viewpoint. It's a shame brush-based building fell out of fashion. * Worldcraft / Hammer editor are the best. * Valve did an excellent job presenting an alive world with the few building blocks they have.

It's depressing how few games took the right lessons from Half-Life, or to put it another way: Why do they still have so many sodding cutscenes? The care and attention put into the level design and environmental story-telling means the game still feels relatively fresh to play now. It's definitely one of the 'best games ever', but does that mean it's still great today? This is an excellent port of a good Half-Life expansion pack which proves that Half-Life still has a lot to give.Revolutionary game in its day, as it introduced the world to the cinematic, unbroken-viewpoint FPS that so many CODs would come to ape, amongst many, many other innovations. Decay features a great story, within the Black Mesa events, which makes it all worthwhile. The game includes new models, weapons and items as well. This can get very annoying because when you 'leave' a character it just sits there doing nothing. You switch between characters using the 'G' key.

In the PC port, you control both characters (or a LAN game can be set up to play with a friend). After the catastrophic accident they now must help others within Black Mesa. They are research doctors in the same lab as Gordon Freeman, and they even help prepare the sample and devices for Freeman's experiment. In Decay, there are two main characters, Gina Cross and Colette Green.

But a recent method of getting files from PS2 allowed a group of Ukrainian developers to port it to the PC. The expansion was developed by Gearbox only for PS2. Half-Life: Decay is a Half-Life modification for PC originally created for the PS2 version.
