I don't know enough about HL Blue Shift to make an educated 
determination. However, I DO know enough about WCSO to see that there 
are more aspects which point to it being a standalone than being an 
add-on. That's the simple fact of the matter.

I'm done discussing this with you, Ed. I look at it from a technical 
viewpoint, while you base your conclusion on how the game makes you 
feel. Neither is completely right or wrong, and neither of us is going 
to change the other's mind without significant external evidence.
