Following the game's initial success, several mods for further online gameplay were created, most notably Team Fortress Classic and Counter-Strike, both released in 1999. Its multiplayer mode was also popular among online gamers. It developed a cult following, similar to the Quake series.

Half-Life: Opposing Force and Half-Life: Blue Shift were released on November 10, 1999, and June 12, 2001, respectively. Two expansions, taking place during the same events as Half-Life but centring on characters other than Gordon Freeman, were released in the next few years.
