Can half-life source be used for half-life mods?
No. Half-Life: Source runs on the Source engine. The original Half-Life doesn't. You cannot use mods made for the original Half-Life on Half-Life: Source because they run on different engines and it won't work.
What is the difference with HL and HL source?
Half life is the original game that was created by Valve that made them so rich and big. Half life: Source is the exact same game, but in the Source Engine. The Source Engine is the game engine that games like Team Fortress 2, Half life 2, and Portal use. Half life: Source is also said to have slightly upgraded graphics. It can also be used as content in mods or in Garry's mod.
Do you need half life to get gmod?
no, but you do need a source game like Half Life, Half Life2, or Team Fortress2
How many half life games are there?
Half-Life, Half-Life: Blueshift, Half-life: Opposing Force, Half-life: High Definition pack (might not classify as a game), Half-Life: Source, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, and Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Eight games total not including countless mods created by fans that you can download for free on moddb.com and fileplanet.com. Other games by Valve software include Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal, Portal 2, Counter Strike, Counter Strike: Source, Team Fortress, Team Fortress 2, and Alien Swarm. Another Half-Life game would be Half-Life: Decay. You might also be able to count Half-Life Deathmatch and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch.
Can Half life source run in Windows Vista?
Yes it can. It runs quite well in Windows Vista. The original Half-Life doesn't, so if you use Vista, I strongly recommend you go with the Source version.
