This is something I have been wondering myself as well.
IMO Half-Life is greatly overhyped. The only thing which was more or less
innovative at the time was the long, playable intro. However, other than
that the game is a rather typical straightforward first-person shooter
with minimal storytelling. IMO it wasn't even technically/graphically
the most advanced game of the time. Rather average, really. The weapons
were rather inventive, I grant you that (and something I miss from the
sequels), but otherwise there isn't really anything special.
Half-Life 2, however, is a completely different story. Great writing
and storytelling, great technology, great playability...
