Posting a positive review to balance out the guy who called this a Half-Life clone but turned off comments because criticism hurts feelings, I guess. This pioneered destructible environments, has a completely different plot, takes place on a completely different planet, uses different physics, and incorporates vehicles for both land and water. If by "clone" you mean "FPS that also had similar era-specific graphics and era-specific FPS control feel," sure buddy, it's a clone.
