Well, Half-Life is an impossibility, due to the
Windows-fanaticism of the authors... but there
are two very Counterstrike-like Mods on Quake 2.
One is ActionQuake, the other TerrorQuake.

Sure, there are no hostages to save, and some other things in Counterstrike also do not exist
in the same way, but the general feel of these
two Mods is very similar to Counterstrike - and
well, I'd say most people who say "I want Half-Life" actually mean "I want Counterstrike" (actually appearently ActionQuake brought the authors of Counterstrike to the idea of Counterstrike :) At least that's what I heard...).

There is also a team working on a Counterstrike Clone for Quake 2, and I am in negociations with them about an Amiga version. But they are still
*very* early in the work appearently... so I don't know when this will be finished.

You can of course always try, but I do not give
it much chance. There was already a try to licence
Half-Life, and it failed...

Some time ago I asked the Duke3D people if they'd
release the source-code. At that time they
answered "not planned currently".
