Who played this version of Half Life? This version was from WON (World Opponent Network) where this site worked until 2004. Enjoy, I recorded this video when I was playing with some friends of mine on LAN network. (Cyber cafe)

So the Steam one is a modification of the game, Will they rip the game rather than fixing it.

not at all, it's a better version than when Half Life was part of WON. Then Half life source released later becoming a different game from the original and having better grafics and textures too.

Here's some info from WON and what was that:

World Opponent Network or WON was an online gaming service, created by Sierra Games as the Sierra Internet Gaming System (SIGS). WON was used by games such as Homeworld, Half-Life, Outpost 2, Star Trek: Armada, Soldier of Fortune, Dark Reign 2, and Silencer, ARC in addition to online versions of casino games and early entries in the Hoyle games series. Sierra was purchased by Havas in January 1999 and Cendant Software became Havas Interactive, which came to control WON. In March 2000, Havas Interactive merged WON.net with Prize Central Net to form Flipside.com. Regardless, games such as Valve Corporation's Half-Life continued to use the service. In 2001, Valve acquired WON from Flipside.com and began to implement the Steam system in beta form. Over the next few years, as Steam was developed and tested, WON continued to operate. Valve shut down the last of its WON servers on July 31, 2004. All online portions of Valve's games were transferred to their own Steam system. The announcement disappointed some of the long-time Half-Life and Counter-Strike players who had become accustomed to the older versions of those games still being hosted on the WON servers. For example, WON servers hosted version 1.5 of Counter-Strike, while Valve's Steam system required users to update to the newer version 1.6.
