Does the original Half-Life use OpenGL?

Title says it all.

Yes it does. And Something elce. Direct 3d or something. I dont know what it is. I always use OpenGL.

It can use either Direct3D or OpenGL, but with a GeForce 3, I don't really see a difference... YMMV

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

It runs on either D3D or OpenGL, but the Quake/Q2 engines are really optimized for OpenGL, and it runs much better in OpenGL. Any PC new and fast enough to run it in D3D will definitely have OpenGL-capable drivers, so there is very seldom any good reason to use D3D.
