Half-Life is still installed on my computer. I just don't play it anymore, I can't beat the monster, so I'm playing Avanti on TFC :)
Counter-Strike isn't nearly as fun as TFC though.

HL is cool. The Xen part isnt excellent but still good.

I love OpFor too, but I dont know how to kill the creature at the end. I used the two lightning guns to blow out his eyes, loads of times, is there more to it, or do i have to keep shooting his eyes?

Blue Shift is pants.

Op For...

After shooting its eyes climb down the ladder and open up (preferably with the Machine Gun) the opening in its belly. Rinse and repeat probably 2-4 more times and the monster's done for.

Ok, I'm in the Xen/Interloper part of it now and yea, the floating platforms are goofy but not too hard. Seems I do alot of game saves with this game so I don't have to start levels all the time. The auto save was an exellent idea to implement when they developed this game.

One thing also, the .357mag kicks serious ass in this game!! I can kill almost everything with one round and its deadly accurate. To bad it does'nt have a 30rnd clip.

Boy that Crab thing sure had a huge nutsack hehe... what was up with that?

I got to be good friends with the F6 and F7 buttons during the end of HL. A bit too "Super Mario Life", but good overall. Try killing the last boss with ONLY the crowbar!

One thing: Who were all the dead guys in HEV suits that you pass in Xen? I thought we were the only ones thru the jumpgate.

A cool moment in OpFor was when you come into the room just as Gordon leaves. Neat tie-in. Another ultra-cool (but subtle) moment was when you come back from one of the side trips to Xen and you're in the Training Course and the Vortigaunt is swiping at the holographic instructor. Funny stuff.

If you listened to the scientists in the portal room, they say that they sent several teams over.

I feel sorry for the other teams they sent over. Those poor bastards did'nt have the &quot;save game&quot; option.

I'm still stuck trying to kill the big baby like alien. Damn, he's tough to kill.

Ok, I got the job offer from the &quot;Administrator&quot;? and did'nt take it, but there is no battle, or nothing, I get just the postmortem, ect. then the Valve credits show up. If I take it, the postmortem reads differently, and then the Valve credits show up, but nothing still.

Isn't there supposed to be a final battle? If so, this part of the game is not loading (which would pizz me royaly seeing how I just spent a week of my life playing this game).

Anyone?

That's the way it's supposed to end.

If you decline your basically killed off because you know too much.

If you accept then congratulations, welcome to the team.

oh, thats kinda dissapointing. But at least it's not a game loading problem. I was hoping I'd get a chance to knock off the administrator some how.

Thanks Ben.

Doesn't a halflife never end? :) If you keep getting closer by 50% each time, you'll never get there! hehe
