==Multiplayer support==

Actually, there is multiplayer support in the form of Half-Life Deathmatch: Source. It's a separate executable, but it comes with HL:S and can't be bought separately.

And the game is certified.

I am aware of the deathmatch. Are you saying you want it mentioned as an aside in the report?

If it were my report, I would write the multiplayer section like this:

Multiplayer mode is called Half-Life: Deathmatch Source. It is hor +.

Maybe it's a bit offtopy, but every hls player should check this HD pack - it brings more eyecandy to HL:S (Valve was too lazy to convert original hd pack from hl, so some fans did it) http://hds.newmail.ru/eng_about.html

I'd rather just use the HLHD pack on regular Half-Life. HL: Source's only real advantage is nicer looking water, but its biggest disadvantage is buggy AI, which IMO is not a good tradeoff.

The lighting is the biggest advantage in my opinion.

The lighting is the biggest advantage in my opinion.And also native support of AA and aniso, raggdols.

The ragdolls are pretty much broken. HL1's scripted death animations were better. And I can't say I've really noticed a huge improvement in the lighting either.
