"Modify HL2 Singleplayer" will pretty much give you a perfect version of HL2 to mod off of. If the game you are trying to make is very similar to HL2 (for example, the Adventures of Gordon Freeman in Space, or something) then you should use this. "Modify HL2 Multiplayer" is probably best if you are making a multiplayer-only mod. "Start a mod from scratch" is good if you are trying to do anything avant-garde because it does not contain much HL2 or HL2MP stuff. "Source code only" is the same as above, except you obviously only get source code and not sources for other game content. 2) Does the selected game on the SDK main menu make any difference in > regards to the source code I receive, whether I create a mod using > existing > game code or the "scratch" code? I don't think so. It's only for Worldcraft and HLMV and such. 3) Should I wait until the SDK is updated with the Orange Box content before > starting at this point? That is probably a good idea. There are a huge amount of changes and porting them over would be a pain. But if you're comfortable with patching it then by all means :) That's all I can really answer.
