Deleting Half Life 1 on your PC will cause all your Doom 3 save games to get deleted as well.

just thought i might let you guys know...

You might wanna back up your save games before you delete HL1 unless you wanna start over again on nightmare.

If your talking about a basic installation of Half-life retail 1.0.0.0 (or whatever it was on the cd) then yeah, I wouldn't uninstall that until I patched it.

First versions would delete everything in the games parent folder as well.
I ended up deleting my whole games folder because I didnt use "games/seirra/half-life"

Thanks for the heads up...I'm uninstalling a lot of apps and games today to free up a little more HDD space.
