Valve Pushes Out Half-Life For Linux

This is so amazing, but I'm <i>really</i> hoping that they release a way for mod developers to recompile their mods to work... Do they have the multiplayer aspects working?<p>Obligatory plug for my favourite HL1 mod: <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/" rel="nofollow">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/</a><p>Edit: Yep, sure enough HL1 shows up in the Steam Linux CDR (<a href="http://cdr.xpaw.ru/linux/" rel="nofollow">http://cdr.xpaw.ru/linux/</a>), and interestingly enough, so does Counter-Strike - albeit with the message "Not Marked for Linux"...

It would tickle me if they released HL3 on Linux first. That might drive quite a bit of Linux adoption.

Nowadays, you might want to play Black Mesa instead: <a href="http://www.blackmesasource.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.blackmesasource.com</a><p>It's officially just for Windows, but it runs fine in Wine.

I read this as a hint/signal that Half-Life 3 may be available on Linux as well.

That's great but... where were you 15 years ago, Valve? I was trying to keep Windows 98 taped together to run HL...

Where can one buy the DRM free version?

Yes! Counter-Strike next please.

Does this mean anything for Half-Life on a Mac?

A couple of problems/solutions for problems I encountered using Ubuntu 12.04:<p>* It will crash right after start using NVIDIA drivers 310.19. Upgrade to the latest, I used 310.32.<p>* It does not work with plain ALSA, I only get sound after starting PulseAudio.

Now I hope they release HL2 and Portal next :)

Wow, this is great, especially since I'm a Linux user. Now if only Adobe would port CS6 over to Linux...

So, stating the obvious, this was only done because the Steam Box will run on a Linux variant, right?

Shame that HL1 looks like absolute ass @ 16:9

They made my weekend

Please dota 2 next!
