Fun fact about the Human Grunt AI, no more than two will ever attack you, even if you're in a room full of them. Because, otherwise, they would gun you down so fast it wouldn't be fun or very fair.
I couldn't explain this games combat better. It's not about brute forcing your way through crowds of enemies. It's about outsmarting your enemies. You don't play as a space marine you play as a scientist. That's why I love this game to death so much! To this day it still feels unique among shooters.

Agreed! HL2 has some really great moments I will forever remember and enjoy like the Bridge Sequence, Ravenholm, or storming the beaches of Nova Prospekt with an army of ant lions. But to me it just didn’t engage me as much as HL1 did, especially with the combat and fewer weapons.
I definitely prefer the combat and action in HL1 to HL2. But HL2's atmosphere is simply perfect and captivating. HL2 is a series of gimmicky sections that are fun enough but don't outstay their welcome. I also prefer in HL2 that there are actual characters, and non-named NPCs aren't just copy-pasted egghead caricatures. The HL2 citizens felt so much more human than the HL1 scientists to me, mostly due to the voice acting and dialogue.
That grenade tossed right into the pipe is an accurate summary of 90% of my encounters with the army grunts in Half-Life. Just... Pin point grenade tosses that I'm too busy thinking "What in the goddamn was that throw" to move out of the way.

8:46 Or in Waynes case he and the science team will run the fuck away because the helicoptor spawn point is bugged and is just constantly spawning more and more helicoptors, creating an eldritch amalgamation of metal and government military budget
5:01 Yeah it's funny how good the game AI is compared to even new game's AI, like I once saw a video recently comparing the literal cockroach AI to the mess that is cyberpunk 2077's AI in some cases and somehow it works better in some places.
9:56 an alternate way is to go behind the tank via pipes. You will be in an open area (inside the water to be exact) for some time but if you are dast and silent enough it is no problem. I always choose since it enables me take out enemies much more easily but also it prevents the tank from shooting you.
I watched a TH-camr (can't remember who), that played Half-Life using stealth. He would lure enemies to choke points. I never seen it played that way. Very slow and methodical.
"Don't you find this all rather fascinating?" "No." A more eloquent way to express the relationship between a scientist and a security guard doesn't exist.
I was never really into HL1's combat until watching this video, I was playing it too much like a modern shooter instead of it's own thing, after watching this I've replayed HL1 and now its combat is some of my favorite combat in an FPS ever.
@Leonardo Vargas yeah! and ive seen that it actually helps me in *other* shooters as well, ive been playing Doom(1993) and Doom II too violently in fact and would often get myself killed by walking out into open fire. and it can also apply to my current favorite shooter, ULTRAKILL, by being overwhelmed i would run away, think about how i can approach the situation, and execute said approach. granted this all happens way faster than the original half life, (like once a second) and it is a little more complex because of mechanics and general speed of the game, but still it is very important for survivability!
What about a video detailing Black Mesa's questionable ethics towards otherworldly experiments? A friend and I played through Decay for the first time a couple years ago and were pleasantly surprised to see more interesting Black Mesa experiments and studies done on Xen's flora and fauna, especially the "Bullsquid Juicer." I think even Opposing force had some neat Race X stuff.
One thing I really love about Half-Life's varied gameplay are the elements of adventure games it takes influence from, with it's navigation and puzzles. Really keeps the gameplay interesting
Yep My experience *Kill everyone taking a ton of hits and running backwards into walls and everything* *Pause to breathe* “How the fuck did I survive that? My brain was on complete autopilot”
To be fair, the 'I think a lot of people get blinded by the nostalgia of doom, and forget that once you take away the demon shooting, the game becomes a chore' is a REALLY bad way of putting it. That's one of DOOM's big appeals-- you could say the same for almost any game. ''I think a lot of people get blinded by the nostalgia of pac-man, and forget that once you take away the ghosts, the game becomes a chore', or 'I think a lot of people get blinded by the nostalgia of Pokemon, and forget that once you take away the gym's and battles, the game becomes a chore'. Games are reliant on many different factors to make them fun. But I DO agree that the other areas of older shooters could get tedious, and that's because eventually you HAVE to stop doing those fun things, unlike the other games I've listed- - I just think it was a bad way of putting it xD Either way, great video!!! I love this Cascade series. =)
everyone keeps thinking Half Life has super AI for its time. Squad based tactics for soldiers but... the devs said it themselves. There is no squad based tactics. They all act independently and people are thinking its more complicated than it really is.
@@aqua8584 an option to set up squads does not mean the AI works as a squad. i havent used map editor but it could be for grouping soldiers for multiple reasons
"Valve can't do ladders." Not even in VR, I tried to grab a ladder to go down it in Half-Life: Alyx and I lost my grip or something and fell to my death. I *could've* just been clumsy because I only had the Index for a few months at that point and migrated from the Rift but it felt like tradition.
You know the bit with the marines, sewer, and the tank doesn't require you to kill all of them. Gold source is based on the quake engine. As a result, the enemies have in-flighting, just pop out once, maybe lob a grenade, and crawl back m you'll hear a lot of shooting and shouting. When it does down, there's usually 1 marine left, but most of the time even the tank is destroyed
its interesting how there are different scenarios where two types of enemys are fighting and you have to pick and choose who to fight based on what you want to deal with at the end of the fight
Ladders: look where you wanna go press and hold “W”, to get off, look at the destination(preferably away from the ladder) and press “SPACE” Worked wonders for me Never had any problems with them
8:23 in my most recent playthrough the helicopter i think hit the wall while i was in the bunker. I just heard an explosion and came outside to see nothing at all.
Funny thing about that big fight with the tank in surface tension is that you can just peak your head out of two of the several pipe exists, duck back into cover in said pipes and listen as all the soldiers kill themselves and their tank with grenades.
Huh, I've always just jumped across that Rope bridge to leave as many planks intact when I need to return to the other side. I always assumed the ropes were set to be nonsolid.
Yesterday I finished half life, today was opposing forces, tomorrow probably blue shift and then half life 2. I still don't have the episodes but I will get them some day.
When I was 13 I showed this game to my friend who was a console gamer playing all the usual stuff at the time so when I showed him Half-Life the first thing he ever saw was THIS 3:51 The reaction was priceless... 😅
9:10 I played on hard mode and how I dealt was this was basically using the snarks to kill like most of the HECU leaving 2 and a tank which I could just gun down easily if I climbed in the sewer opening behind the tank
Is funny how you had to use classic Doom when you were talking about games using projectiles based enemies and completely ignored that it also included some of the most deadly hitscan enemies in any game.
Found this channel about a month and a half ago, seems TH-cam is finally pushing smaller channels that put in the effort straight to the front of the algorithm, the amount of small channels I've uncovered recently is amazing. Keep it up man, legit happy to see your hard work finally getting recognition.
If you're looking for feedback, you should equalize the audio levels. certain parts (like when you cut to the doom music) your voice was completely drowned out and I had to reach for the volume knob because my ear drums were being damaged
If you want to use the ladders properly, hold shift and walk backward, the direction you mouse is facing will drift you off to one side or the other, but you can get it centered as you travel down. Still kinda wonky getting off ladders sometimes, but this surely helps GOING DOWN ladders.
Looks like it's not only Black Mesa that has that helicopter bug out. When I played it before it became a paid game on Steam, the copter just stopped responding after I hit it with a few rockets. I don't even remember what I did to get it to finally explode.
I didn't realize I was using the HD models this whole time until I did some research to try to find out why the HL1 SMG was an assault rifle in my game while everywhere else I only could find people using the MP5. I have no model type preference. I think they both have equal pros and cons.
Despite all the Half Life videos out there, yours is one of the only videos to touch upon the things that made the game stand out to me as a storytelling and gameplay experience. Keep these up! Maybe you should do Dark Souls next? lol...
Hey PurpleColonel, can you review Descent 3 ? It tries too much, to be like Half Life, but ails, because the puzzles are often braindead. Half Life puzzles are based on Action Film physics, but D3s physics don't make sense.
meanwhile modern games "here is randomized samey weapon and armor, equip them and shoot enemies in the head 20 times until they die and drop better weapons which look like the ones you are using but you gotta use them because your old weapons are weak.
It’s simply unfair to compare this game to the majority of others. For the main reason that this was released wayyyy back in 1998. Comparing it to games of that era isn’t fair bc it’s so far ahead and superior on many levels to everything besides maybe goldeneye and imo it’s much more fun than goldeneye. And comparing it to modern games isn’t exactly fair either bc well, besides the fact that it came out 25 years ago, so many games have stolen little tidbits from this franchise that it really helped mold FPS into what they are today. They were able to take what worked and focus on improving those elements. I’ll never forget the first time I installed this on my stepdads desktop and witnessed that iconic valve intro. Every step of the game back then was “wow look what I can do, oh what’s this”. Such great times I’ll never forget.

The fact I never even noticed this confirms the "would gun you down so fast" bit.

@@KinerfV4 I've never tested it in Garry's Mod or HL Source, but I know for sure it's true in the GoldSrc versions of Half-Life.

I've always liked HL1 a lot more than 2. at least in part due to setting, but mostly due to presentation and story.
The enemy variety
The much better setting
The more interesting weapons
The better enemy ai
And many more half-life 2 doesn't hold a candle to the original
half life 2 is really good, but for some reason i just found it way less fun than the original
For me both games are good.
