23 years of maps and mods to play around with.
Updates over the years have genuinely pushed the goldsrc engine to new limits. There's an absolutely massive body of maps to go through, and a healthy selection of servers, both vanilla and modded, that you can experience these maps with.
The balance and pacing of a map is entirely up to a mapper's discretion, but there are many resources such as the sven coop map db that can assist in picking out decent maps. Being able to experience the half life campaigns with friends is amazing, and the modding capabilities have led to some truly outstanding experiences.
