I don't like HL2, BM is basically a modded HL2, not HL1.
Also, the aesthetic changes; the two most important aspect in a videogame to me are gameplay first and presentation second, with narrative coming in only if I like those two enough.
Presentation is visual style, sound design, use of texture, lightning, OST etc, you know everything that isn't gameplay.
I really like the presentation of HL1, especially the PS2 version, and everything about BM is worse, because higher fidelity is not a goal, is a conscious decision when you select a style for your game, and I don't want HL1 to look like that.
It's the equivalent of those UE5 Mario grassfield tech demos that make everything a glossy highpoly model and then goes "Nintendo hire this man!".
