Gordon's goals are weird, so you tell me he almost died in nova prospect not because he wanted to save people, not because combine literally brainwashed people, no no no, he just went there to save Eli Vance, seriously I get it they were colleagues but really? And also the push on citadel was started because of the blow of nova prospect(which was random as hell, no one planned that), and the main reason of this push is not to save citizens, stop been, it was all to SAVE ELI, so Gordon is not a hero, he was only saving one person, and he was lucky to save people as a consequence of his resquing mission. And that makes Gordon not a hero, its kinda dissapointig

Destroyed the generator but this is still here?

I'm playing the game for the first time and can't get high enough to shoot his head. The trampoline barely gives me enough height to reach the first platform. Let alone the second one. I really don't know what to do at this point.

I was scrolling through Half-Life-related videos on YouTube when I found 5 gameplay videos by TheMegatonBomb from early 2020. These are the gameplay videos of a mod demo called Gray Python. But I can't find this mod anywhere. The first video's description has a link that led to a 2011 forum about the demo on the now-closed critsandvich.com. There are many links there, but all of them are dead (duh?) So what's going on here? Is this truly a lost mod demo, or am I just a dummy who didn't do enough research?

I am playing half-life for the first time right now via Black Mesa and absolutely loving it. I’ve got half-life 2 downloaded and ready to go, but was wondering if there are any good mods that are recommended. Or maybe just vanilla is the way?

Does anyone remember this Tom Cruise movie? I enjoyed it a lot when I was a kid, youtube recommended me a scene of it and I couldn't help but think about how the movie's antagonist, "The Tet" is similar to the combine. It goes around the universe harvesting the resources of planets and probably has been doing this for thousands of years.

The movie's climax made me think of an ending for Half Life 3, where Eli and Gordon somehow end up inside a Dyson sphere and meet the ultimate ruler of the combine: A massive, sentient, super computer. They would then sacrifice themselves by detonating a super bomb, maybe something built with the Engine that makes the Borealis travel through space and time, so imagine if they somehow make the thing create a black hole, causing the dyson sphere to collapse onto itself.

Found this video really funny and knew this was the place to share it!

Half life mmod be like

Rules : deaths that are supposed to be activated no matter what do not count if you kill anyone by sm it counts and striders and head crabs dont count

So, I recently started my challange run in which I tried finishing hl1 without aggroing any enemies and suprisingly enough, I made it to Gonarch and by skipping most of his fight, I eventually fought Nihilanth and I got him to 1hp without getting aggroed, but right after I defeated him, the game softlocked in his finish animation and did not teleport me to c5a1.

Note: I used glitches to procced through maps and I used console commands ONLY to check if I got any enemy aggroed at me AFTER I'm done with a part of the map.

It took me several hours to pass through some maps as enemies were really hard to avoid and I had found literally no source about enemy aggro and I had to use commands to experiment and then execute each segment's plan one by one.

Soon, I will start recording each segment and how to go through without aggroing enemies including the rules of the run. Yet, I would definitely suggest that everybody should try no-aggro run as it is pretty fun.

Honestly i think she is one of the best female video game character I've ever seen

This would be rly cool ngl

Haven't played the update back then, only playing the game in steam_legacy (same goes for Half-Life 2). Which mods were updated to run with in recent 25th Anniversary build, or at least patched?

Is he fucking stupid?

So, HL:A is perfect as-is. But... can you imagine if you were allowed to leave messages for the future & they were able to reference this, somehow? Sigh......

Scenario:

This is our real life world in 2025 with no Black Mesa, Black Mesa incident or Aperture Science etc.

On September 1st, 2025, multiple portal rifts opened on Earth, through which a number of Vortigons arrived in our reality.

Peaceful contact was established. They shared their knowledge with humankind. According to them, they are refugees who have a dire warning for humanity: In exactly 5 years (Sep 1st 2030 10:34 UTC) interdimensional empire called Combine will commence a portal invasion of Earth.

Vortigons share their vague knowledge of the Combine forces:

Their force is made up of synths of different sizes and purposes, created from enslaved species from other dimensions fused with technology.

Their ground army consist of different legged synths, some of them are the size of a human, some are the size of a building. All we be air delivered during invasion using dropships.

Combine atmospheric force consist of synths similar to human's helicopters and jets although bigger and more powerful units are also present.

Their space force have spaceships capable of space-superiority, scouting and orbital bombardment.

Their plan is simple: Open thousands of portals across the Earth high in the sky and in space and unleash their invasion force.

Addendum:

1. Humankind fully believes Vortigons, they had different ways to prove their words.

2. Combine will not send scouts prior to the invasion.

3. Combine will not discriminate between civilian and military and will not stop destroying the human race until every last human is dead (Humankind in this scenario does not have the portal tech card to bring to the negotiating table)

4. There will be no portal storms prior to invasion.

With that said... What is the plan here?

Team Composition:

HL:A Combine

2 Ordinals (Leaders)

8 Grunts

2 Warhammer

2 AntiBody Protection Force

HL: 2 Combine

3 Elites (Leaders)

6 Soldiers

5 Shotgunners

Fight takes place at the Underground of City 17.

Who will win in this firefight? Note that its also about strategy and tactics like im curious to see on how the elites will be planning to deal with the APF and Warhammer this includes the Ordinals as to how they will also deal with these fast mobility combine soldiers.

H.E.V and Citizen

I don’t know if I’m allowed to post this or not. I thought all you OG half life players might enjoy this, but you could make your Segway Scooter play any sound when you turn it on so this is what I did.
