Why do you have the HD pack on
@@globe0147 because it's better, stronger
When the helicopter "didn't come back" you actually got a semi rare bug where the helicopter blew itself up with the splash of its own rockets when firing them too close to the cliff face lmao
Phahahahahaha I wish I knew that before making the video that’s actually too funny
Yeah, the game has some weird "bugs" they apparently just decided to leave in. Like that Vortigaunt that sometimes doesn't despawn during the initial catastrophe.
@@burningsheep4473that one is intentional! It only doesn't despawn if you pull the specimen cart back out of the AMS
short answer: yes
long answer: yes
long answer: yes it is
Kelly Bailey has said that he put a lot of thought into making the sound mechanics in the game provide the player with adequate tactical information, and that at the time HL's sound system was particularly ahead of its time with its ambient effects and orientation indications. And the fact that all NPCs (not just the Tentacle boss) have their own auditory and visual range means that stealth is actually part of the game's legitimate playstyle, despite it being unbeknownst to most players due to the game supposedly being a fast-paced shooter.
My first playthrough was done on hard difficulty, so I had to sneak around rather than play too aggressively, in which case I picked up on a lot of the details and instructions and actually rarely got lost or died suddenly. (Hard difficulty also enables some enemy AI not used on other difficulties.) I'd like to think On a Rail is actually designed to be a stealth level, and it particularly tests the player's planning in pacing and ammunation management. It's actually my favorite level, and I think the hate is due to most players not experiencing it the intended way.
Oddly enough, i liked the tram level. Mostly because when i played it for the first time, i was excited to see something driveable. There were also turrets that work, you could actually sneak behind the soldiers and shoot the vortigaunts with the turret.
Looking back, yeah i can see how the level is a little frustrating. But it holds a place in my heart.
I think it was kind of annoying when I first played throught it, but now I appreciate its complexity and also how different it is.
6:40 Yeah most people agree that the HD models dont fit half life's visual style, half life 1's style was a lot more cartoony horror (idk if thats a good way to describe it)
you can disable it in the menu, idk why it isnt disabled by default
It is disabled by default ever since the 25th anniversary update
I love the way you edited this one. It makes it very engaging to watch.
Thank you 😁
YES
YOU HAVE EARNED MY RESPECT, MY GOOD SIR
YOU HAVE REDEEMED YOURSELF FROM WHEN YOU SAID BRUTAL DOOM WAS TRASH
... I still don't get why you trashed on reloading weapons in that vid, but-
YOU HAVE DONE IT. YOU HAVE NOT DUG YOURSELF DEEPER.
I RESPECT YOU.
Dude this editing is so good you are so underrated lmao
Thanks man, I've not properly done a long video like this before so it means a lot
This might be your best video
Thank you!
Half life is the greatest game ever. I love it so much that i Can beat it 3 Times in the same day without getting bored. This game is perfect.
It's an incredible game, but certainly not perfect...
@@TheBeansprout of course everyone has their own vision of perfect. I Know some people don't like on a rail, or xen or some other stuff. But when you Know the path where to go etc. These things become very much enjoyable.
@@TheBeansproutNothing is perfect really.
@@joladouillenoname4404I don’t think it’s necessarily those levels just more so some bugs that are still present in the game but yeah the game is amazing regardless
I like HL2 more than HL1, but all the parts of HL1 ppl complain about, I've never had a problem with.
Although I think the Black Mesa version of Xen is far superior.
I really enjoyed the video, you should do one about Half Life 2 and the episodes! (I also recommend trying Black Mesa, a remake of HL1 on the Source engine)
I still remember going with a friend to buy this from Walmart after playing it at a LAN gaming place. The 90s baby
Real Half-Life video without mods (except HD models, but this is an official pack for the original).
Oops haha
@@TheBeansprout
It's not a quandary if you play with this in lieu of LD, the other version that I would recommend to your attention and is even more definitive than the current update is the PS2 where the HD models are beautified to the apex, from the top salad of graphics and visual textures.
well really half life is just the valve folder and also the main half life folder (which other mods do) so really id call half life a mod :)
@@gamertypeawesome
Half-Life is not a mod in any sense.
It's an incipient game, the commencement area of post-Doom mods, and another revolution in the gaming industry.
Gabe Newell licensed the Quake engine, specifically the updated QuakeWorld engine called Quake Online.
This engine contained components of Quake 2's tweaks and features.
Inevitably, Valve modified the code to become a starter codebase and became known as GoldSrc.

lethal company music in a half life video? you have my respect
8:07 Interesting note: this map was based off of a Quake map or something like that during development.
Maybe, some areas of the map seem quite a bit like quake
You can destroy the helichopters before having the rpg, the weapon you gain before finding the scientists is more than powerfull enough to destroy them.
Is anybody gonna even mention that he's using the HD pack?
People have, and so did I, in the video
OH DEAR GOD, HE'S MAKING THE GAME LOOK SUBJECTIVELY BETTER, (also objectively in some ways dont you dare come near my boy hd barney,) SEND THE UTTP
yes, I want to thank the author for not including the ugly classic models.
Tbh, I only dislike it because it was made by the guy who made duke nukem forever
great vid ^.^ love this game n your criticisms were great
Glad you enjoyed!
Try Star Wars Dark Forces, and Dark Forces 2. This is truly then FPS with story began.
Why do you have the HD models on? This video was made AFTER the Half Life 25th anniversary update, which disables them by default
They were turned on when I started the game so I didn't realise they were not the original ones. I never turned them on myself
hd models appeared back in 2001, when hl: blue shift was released.
@@TheBeansproutthank god you didn't turn off the hd pack. classic weapons are greatly overrated by older players who simply cannot accept the alternative.
is it me or more people are discovering this game lately?
ive noticed it too since the 25th anniversary update it has started blowing up again
I’ve had both half life 1 and 2 for a while but just never play them
I believe that you didnt bother clicking the right mouse button with the shotgun to do a double shot or with the tau canon
Why the HD models?
I didn’t realise there was older models at first
@@TheBeansproutAs I remember today old models are set as default and HD models are an option in settings
@@Chasodey idk I don’t remember turning them on 🤷♂️
@@Chasodey i had hd models on before the anniversary update, and after they were still on. i think they made sure to carry it over (despite the way they changed the default apparently just being "enable hd" changed to "enable original"
Imo, it wouldn't be so bad if the MP5 didn't get so messed up in the transition. I really dislike that extremely loud firing sound. Like an AK47 from Vietcong or CS1.6. Aside from that I also think that the five-pointed star of the original muzzle flash is simply one of the iconic bits and pieces of HL.
You could try it's expention packs (More enjoyable) opposing force (
I am hoping to have a look at them at some point
I think HD model pack is superior. Models, sounds, accuracy of actual firearms in history, etc
Great video good job 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
4:48 thats on you for not gaining enough momentum
I know, that’s why I didn’t like the platforming. I probably should have explained a bit more about it however
@@TheBeansprout I like how everything you say has no reasonable moral or intellectual value.
NO! I'M WITH THE SCIENCE TE- *explodes*
6:50 M16 with M203 grenade launcher*
colt m272 with m203 grenade launcher*
It’s an M4A1 with an M203.
10:51 assassins* (Soldiers are in a DLC of Half-Life)
Ah I didn't know there was a difference
Honestly wish there was more of Black Ops in this game.
Not playing HL2 after this is a HUGE CRIME you hear me? HUGE CRIME! SO JUST DO IT! oh and btw definitely check out Black mesa they re did the whole xen level and its AMAZING even if it was not valve who made it.
May or may not be recording half life 2 at the moment 🤫
@@TheBeansprout 👀👀
HD models!!!
Yes, it’s good that the author didn’t turn them off. The video now feels much better, more pleasant and of higher quality. I support you. but for complete satisfaction it was necessary to disable the 25th anniversary update.
yes, I'm glad too
@@themisterdellou Don't support me, I hate being supported
Why are you using the hd models
because it's better than the original models.
@@themisterdellouthe shotgun is good but the others are shit and the pistol is shit
because he's smart
@@jk-bj9mu there like 8 million people saying there shit but i gotta say The shotguns fucking cool as shit
No, it's better
when half-life originally released, the models were much blockier than what you showed
I know, I didn't realise there was different models at first
It looked better these 'HD' ones look bad
@@AntiTankLovercalled opinion
@@PrinceWelch-te5lk yeah I know majority of the fanbase agrees with me
For new players, I'd highly recommend Black Mesa. It is an almost 1:1 recreation, but on the Source engine. You get the updated graphics and level design that flows better with better balanced weapons and enemies. The best is the completely redone ZEN levels have been massively expanded and are 1000x better!
for new players who read the comment above: I highly do not recommend black mesa. it's just a hoax. imagine call of duty in the half-life universe, you will get black mesa. Don't forgive yourself the impression of half-life.
@@jk-bj9mu Sounds like you don't even know wtf you're talking about. CoD in the HL universe? I guess you mean it's an FPS in the HL universe, which is what HL already was? What was the "hoax"?
@@JoeyJoJoJr0 codlike games = soulless games, this is exactly what I meant. it doesn't feel like half life. it's just another shooter.
@jk-bj9mu I get that black mesa is half life 1 but in source, but how is that soulless, what changed? (other than the graphics)
dude you should play black mesa, the source engine remake of hl1
I might do at some point
They don’t make them like this anymore!
This game created Valve
Short answer, yes.
TURN OFF HD MODELS
Turn on*
yup! 😊
the hd models gave me a headache
Thank God I'm not a sick purist like you
Are they so beautiful that such good quality makes your head hurt?
go to a cephalgologist
Noone can convince me there is a better game out there than hl2.
answer to ur title: of course it is.
Yes
WHAT WHY THERE IS A GAME ABOUT ME?! HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT, IM WORKING IN A SECRET FACILITY HOW😮😮😮😮😮
yes
You should play half life expansion pack called half life opposing force
I am planning to at some point, that and blue shift
@@TheBeansprout Decay too.
Bean sprout I forgot to mention a fantastic fan remake of first half life It's called Black Mesa
6:42 MP5*
4:45 I mean, to be fair, you weren't gaining momentum and just jumping. Running is also important to this. Or maybe I'm just super used to the controls, idk.
Will say, I don't really like the HD models, especially the replacement for the SMG. It's just an ugly gun imo. And it's a fact that it sounds terrible.
I honestly should have went into more detail with the platforming bit. Most of what I meant was due to the momentum
@TheBeansprout I mean, you were stationary in that example. Of course it wasn't gonna work. But yeah, I agree the controls are pretty slippery. Not too bad tbh.
m4a4 from hd pack is much better than m5 from sd pack. The m5 feels like 2 bottles of milk glued together, and the m4a4 feels like an automatic rifle.
Will say, i don't really like this comment
Yes, and I'm tired of pretending it's not. I've played the original CD version of it on my "modern" computer and I would say it holds up almost as well as halo combat evolved, wich I also played on the CD pc version. It's good but not as good as the original Xbox version.
I have to disagree there. Half life is great, but Halo CE has completely superior gameplay.
Yes. Yes it is.
yes.
Hd pack..... It hurts in the eyes.
go to the ophthalmologist
No!
It s even better!
Also i like xen unironicaly
Eh kid xD λ Half Life was the first story driven amazing game. And it's old like me xD f*ck I feel old 😂
Probably well will see Half-Life 3 after Ww3 because Valve must to see the 3 xD
Wait, you played half life source? That explains the crappy platforming
I just played the normal steam version
Oh, I don't remember what, but some detail made me think you played source
A game made for chads.
Spoiler: yes
Unlike some viewers and posters...
"I was thete Gandalf. 1998! We called this a... Doom Clone .... Oh how wrong we were. ....."
Now to watch the rest of this fine video.
A game where you have to use your brain more then brawn. I love it
Exactly!
Hmm what ? ... No its definitely 50/50 at best, considering the entire game you're slaughtering things with heavy weaponry in a powersuit
half lief
heart pls
Ah fine...
@@TheBeansprout THANKS I LOVE UR VIDEOS
For me DooM is the best FPS series.
Definitely but half life was amazing
Just gonna be real, I don't agree with your opinion. Your opinion is your opinion though, and I will also give my own personal thoughts:
1. Textures and stuff suck. I know it was made 25 or so years ago but god damn the textures need HD reimagining like the weapons.
2. The AI is horrible, unfun, and just kinda overall sucks.
3. The story is lackluster.
4. The progression sucks so much.
5. The puzzles are irritating and unfun as well.
6. The gunplay really isn't satisfying, I dunno if it's my 2,000+ hours of CS:GO getting to me, but the gunplay feels unfun af.
7. Enemies feel unbalanced, sometimes being way too easy and other times way too overly hard.
8. Sound design sucks, I'm not talking about it being compressed for 25 year old game engine, no, I'm just saying in general, the sounds suck.
I would personally not recommend it to most people, but your opinion is your opinion.
Got Half-Life for free during its 25th anniversary and started playing it in January and... I was dissappointed. Don't get me wrong, the world was immersive and incredibly interactive. I really liked the start when it was just calm before the storm, messing with the NPCs and figuring where the fuck you're supposed to go without any guidance. Maybe it's just that it's an old game but I find the gameplay frustrating. I've played hard games before and I know bullshit when I see it. Lose 30 hp from 5 meter fall? Auto-aim not only for you but also the military soldiers, whether you use it or not? I really want to enjoy this game, I really do, but it's just not for me. Which is weird since The Evil Within is my favorite horror game series yet it's also full of bullshit. I just can't seem to enjoy this game which is a shame since I can see why it's considered one of the best games ever made.
There is no such thing as "old" games. everyone gets the same experience from the game. in this case it’s just a skill issue. just get rid of your pride and turn on the easy difficulty level.
@@themisterdellou I admit I'm not good at this game. But my pride has nothing to do with this. And by old, I obviously mean the fact this is a 25 year old game. Same experience, yes, but different time. I doubt modern kids would like this game as it has no guidance, "bad" graphics and no cutscenes. But even though I'm having a bad experience with this game, I'd still say this is a pretty good game. You're always in control, the world is very interactive and the sound design is so unique. I guess I'm gonna have to go easy mode as I clearly don't yet have the skill level to beat this.
Restarted on easy mode and it seems I'm almost at the end of the game. I still die a lot, but that's because I don't play the way the game is intended to be played, and also skill issue. I realised this is a strategy game. To use your arsenal creatively and make plans to gain the advantage. Going out guns blazing is quick and effective but often leaves you vulnerable. After this will try to beat Hard mode. I was very wrong, this game is great in all aspects!
Yes
