Half-Life v1.0.0.8 Patch released

Valve and Sierra Studios announced the immediate availability of an update for its award winning game, Half-Life.

Half-Life v1.0.0.8 Patch has a new file out today, and PC gamers with itchy download fingers have something else to grab. Valve and Sierra Studios announced the immediate availability of an update for its award winning game, Half-Life. The update includes new multiplayer maps, player models, a new team-play mode, and significant improvements in Internet bandwidth utilization.

That is the bargain we keep making with PC gaming: more patches, more drivers, more tools, and hopefully a better game on the other side. Sometimes it fixes everything. Sometimes it just gives us a new version number to complain about.
