Not completely. There was a "postmortem" on Gamasutra (www.gamasutra.com)
some time ago. It started out as a Quake C mod, but was completely
scraped. Then, they started with the Quake 1 engine. Later on, when they
found out about the limits of Quake 1 (the overdraw, and monolithic
architecture), they also got the Quake 2 engine source code, and took
parts from it into what would become Half-Life...
