I would assume it's true since instructions for installing the port are included in this faq.

http://www.burnedalive.co.uk/hl2-comman ... s-tips.txt

Quote:

To use the HL1 port on HL2: Rename /Bin in your Half-life 2 main folder to bin_orig, then
copy all the info from the port rars into the main dir, then run the game using the cmd
line: hl2.exe -console -game hl1 -dxlevel 80 -heapsize 256000

The information is most likely legit since all the information I can vouch for seems accurate.

I assume your resourceful enough to know where you can download it.

Quite true, there were instructions in one of the releases for just renaming the HL2 dir, copying your HL1 dir in there and running it. It does work, and whie it looks like HL, it is a bit crisper, the lights look a tad better, there are full shadows (just beneath the players) and you can interact with the boxes that could be pushed before as physics objects (they have the properties apparently).

I don't remember what the various things were called either, but it was kindof cool, and struck me that it could make for some easy and fun porting of the origional game.
