Half-Life: Blue Shift is an expansion pack for Valve Software's science fiction first-person shooter video game Half-Life. The game was developed by Gearbox Software with Valve Corporation and published by Sierra Entertainment on June 12, 2001. (It was originally set for release in Spring.) Blue Shift is the second expansion for Half-Life, originally intended as part of a Dreamcast version of the original game. Although the Dreamcast port was later cancelled, the PC version continued development and was released as a standalone product. The game was released on Steam on August 24, 2005.
Major but easily missable feature as of the 25th Anniversary Update for Half-Life: The game's launcher, hl.exe, can be renamed to the name of the mod folder of the specific mod you want to play. You can also copy it mutiple times in the game folder and however many mods you have installed you can make a copy of the exe for each one and just rename them after the folder [e.g., Blue Shift is 'bshift', so it will be renamed to 'bshift.exe'] for a much easier way to run GoldSrc mods. I did this for Blue Shift and OpFor, as well as Decay. -vλ
