How long will HL1 last?as long as CS 1.6 will last.
editor is so much better with SourceWhat?! hammer 4 is buggy and nasty and relies on steam which means its down every other week.
HL1 engine is considerably simpler than the HL2 engine. People will mod and map for this because it is simpler, less time consumingSpecially HL1's methods of terrain creation... and let's not forget the amazing portal leafs that HL1 creates in the VIS process. Now that's simpler!
I believe CS 1.6 is still being played more than CS:SLast time I checked it was about a 4 to 1 ratio of players. Quite a superiority on 1.6's behalf if I do say so.
HL will not die until its uncompatable, and even then some die-hard mod-makers'll still use itAnd even after that, there will be software emulators so the engine can still run on far more advanced (but incompatible) machines.
people still play PacMan and Pong.yeah, how much ?
Sure, it lacks certain features like bump mapingActually there is a bumpmap mod for hl which you can map for.
nVidia will probably have something to connect my retinas to the 3dcard..Nah, sony has a pantend for that.
