I actually really liked Xen in HL1. It really made the atmosphere feel so alien. What sucked for me was when the Spider Queen boss thing glitched out on me and I couldn't finish the game.
Also, technically, any game that uses a 3rd party engine is a -mod- of that engine. So the distinction between -game- and -mod- is pretty unclear. Usually, the meaning is given as to whether it's standalone or not. If you don't need another game owned and preinstalled, it's a game, if you do, it's a mod.

I never completed it. Back when I downloaded it, probably in 2013, there was a major gamebreaking bug. There is an area in surface tension where you are in a military base with maybe 5-7 enemies. For them, there was no collision to their view distance and their firing capability meaning that I was shot through the ground, walls and barrels, not being able to do a thing about it.

Honestly, I'd play this one over the original. It tells the same story, takes you on the same adventure, and personally I find it way better than the original and closer to HL2. You get used to the crouch-jumping, and even if you don't, you can edit the config files to make it the regular jump.

I love Mac Blesa, but I don't love crouch jumping at all.
By the way, many of the levels are much improved since Sept 2012, like Power Up and On a Rail.
I also disliked Xen, but maybe when it finally appears this time around, it'll be more bearable.

I've played the original HL shitload of times, and I haven't noticed many differences either. There are some areas which are completly different, but overall there are not that many differences. And it's mostly just visual stuff.

I actually liked black Mesa more than the original half lif, I know the limitations of 1998 held the original back but black Mesa I liked because it created a more life like experience especially after surface tension.

I remember playing through this as ammo conserving as possible. I knew how many shots everything took, and i frequently reloaded a save at the end of a fight if i fealt i had use too many bullets or had lost too much health.

Having slightly differing tastes to you?
And I didn't say I didn't like it at all, just not a whole lot. I enjoy a lot about the original HL, but it's not one of my all-time favorites like so many seem to think of it.

LGR, I've been crouch jumping and long distance jumping in this game long before you merely attempted those abilities. You may hate Xen, but to me, its my perfectly grotesque low-gravity playground.

I remember playing Black Mesa only knowing It was -Half Life 1 using Half Life 2's enginge- and I beat the whole thing is like 1 1/2 sittings.
And yeah, I too found it strangely better than 2.
