The first one is a lot more packed with encounters and doesn't waste empty space unlike 2 which has tons of large unused areas which you just sprint or drive though.
Also has a better arsenal, enemy variety and mods.
Which is objectively better?

Speaking of weapons, the AR2 should have a lot more ammo then it did, because it basically has ammo clips in an ammo clip.

People in 1998: Half Life has a pretty good story for a fps game
People 20 years later: Half Life was the first ever video game with a story

I wish Half-Life 2 had all the enemies and aliens from HL1. The houndeyes, bullsquids, those reactor tentacle thingies, gonarchs, and my boy gargantuans. It almost feels like a different world. I don't know the ~lore~ that deeply, or if the gargantuans are made by some alien technology and got destroyed when that big baby died in the end of HL1. I still wish they were in Half-Life 2.
>tfw you will never play Half-Life 2 with ichthyosaurs in waters

Well if the gargantuans were made by alien tech, it would be interesting to have a set piece were you fight a long with one and a few alien grunts against combine forces.

Now that I think about it, it is surprising that you do not run into other xen lifeforms on the coast or forest, it’s just antlions and headcrabs.
