I’d like to take a moment to say that this is usually the most disappointing thing about expansion packs, something I’d like to see remedied. Much like other add-on packs, Half-Life gameplay isn’t improved or even changed by the Blue Shift expansion pack. If you don’t have a copy of Opposing Force, the Blue Shift CD takes care of all your troubles. Along with the high-definition pack is a full copy of the Opposing Force add-on, the first expansion pack made by Gearbox. Although the pack is free for download from Valve, the makers of Half-Life, it is still convenient to have a copy on CD. The first is the high-definition pack an add-on for Half-Life that allows it to take advantage of newer video cards, with new, highly detailed textures and skins.
As an added bonus, Blue Shift comes with two extra items.
