Challenges

[stillalive]

So now that I've beaten Half-Life 2 tons of times, I'm looking for a challenge.
I've already read about the Gravity Gun challenge (using only the GG after Black Mesa East). Can anyone recommend any other challenges that are fun?

 

[Warped]

play Sven Co-Op?? play blindfolded yet?? have you tried playing a marathon??

 

[gFrohman]

Play the whole game in wireframe.

 

[Godron]

Play the whole game without dying once, preferably in hard.

 

[ríomhaire]

Try a no death run or a no damage run.

Edit: Even better. There's a file you can edit (don't remember which one) in notepad that allows you to change around all the weapon and npc stats. All enemies do half the damage you do with the same guns, and have half the health. You can change it so that you all have the same weapon damage and give them a health boost.

Trying to keep your entire team(s) alive...
Advanced pyrotechnics via creative orangebarrel-stacking...
Inflict damage (causing smoke-trails, at least) on every airborne-vehicle...

I got up to Follow Freeman using only the Crowbar on Hard difficulty, and that's a real refreshing challenge. I had an old thread updating my progress on it with a whole lot of pictures. I swear you'll have an insane time with events that will never occur again. You had to use the GGun at one or two points, as well as a rocket to take down a Gunship when you are actually forced to. (nova prospekt), but generally there are awesome new ways of getting around things.

Play the game without using the mouse/joystiq/thumbsticks(for looking).
