Modern shooters aren't much like Half-Life at all.
>carrying lots of different weapons with no limitations
>weapons are actually fairly varied in roles, it's not just a pile of pistols, shotguns and machineguns which are ultimately barely different
>crossbow used for sniping and fighting underwater, gun that shoots bees, steerable rocket launcher, a gun which can be charged up for more powerful precision shots that lets you fight even attack helicopters, trip bombs and remote bombs, throwable harassing creatures which can turn against you if used carelessly, in addition to a few conventional guns
>melee and grenades are their own separate weapons rather than quick actions
>not having to use ADS to make useful shots (I don't count the zoom on the crossbow)
>health does not recover by itself, you need to find items and objects to heal you and restore armor, they are resources to manage
>no inventory of portable medkit items
>no skill tree
>can jump and platform like a mad cunt, and don't need any special prompts to do so, and this has a minor at best effect on your ability to inject lead into enemies, does not run out of stamina, and not impeded by low health
>level design is fairly linear but paths loop around and locations themselves can be largely open at times, secret areas with useful stuff are all around

No they don't, you stupid faggot, only Doom 4 and Doom Eternal does that, the mainstream approach is still either an extremely linear path or a haphazard sandbox. nuDoom is an anomaly in the current field and there's no AAA imitators.
Call Of Duty is still the status quo, like it was back in 2010.

Foul mouthed punks and goths make me feel good.

I'm glad we can all agree that Half-Life was a fun game that's stood up to the test of time fairly well.

That HL2 demake in HL1 now has a Ravenholm demo.

Yes, why wouldn't it?
