Sticks to the HL + expansions format too closely (tram ride, military training tutorial, etc., etc.) and suffers for the comparison (turns out those Valve guys were kind of really good at making games), but tries to do a much more epic story with little cutscenes throughout and near-constant event triggers that make it seem even more nakedly linear than its progenitor. There are tons of really good-looking assets and a staggering amount of on-the-fly weapon customization options (that are honestly kind of pointless - you can and probably should just use your starting pistol on full-auto the entire time) but it's all in service of something that is both unoriginal and a little tryhard.
It's an admirable achievement for a gang of modders. They made their own HALF-LIFE campaign! It really checks all the boxes. But it's not exactly essential playing, then or now.
