Need More Half-Life

[GiRoX]

Hey Im new here and I just got done finishing Opposing Force. So far these are the Half Life games I have played.

Half-Life
Half-Life: Blue Shift
Half-Life: Opposing Force
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Ep1
Half-Life 2: Ep2

I got the Orange Box for 360 about a year ago and Hl2 made me download Steam and play the first one, so are there any other Half-Life games or Third-Party Mods I should try or am is that all thats out and I gotta wait for Ep3? Thanks.

There are lots of great singleplayer mods out there, mostly for HL1. Some you should check out:

HL1 mods:

Peaces Like Us
Redemption
USS Darkstar
They Hunger
Poke646
Azure Sheep
Someplace Else

HL2 mods:

Minerva: Metastasis
Mistake of Pythagoras


And of course, there's all the MP mods out there to check out.

I was half-expecting you to tell him that he's never played HL before, followed by a "No, shut up." on the next paragraph just incase he has the omnidimensional powers of posting mid-type-of-a-post.

Other than that, I contribute no other help whatsoever to this community as a whole.

Is that what you think of me? Is that what I've become to you?

No, shut up. Listen. I can be really helpful when I want to, son.

I don't think you know that I'm not always a formulaic jerk. Enjoy your singleplayer mods.

Canon games & Mods set in the HL universe I recommend.

Part of the Half Life universe canon
----------------------------------
Portal - A part of the HL universe and a big part of the final story in HL2: Ep3.
Half Life : Decay - Dreamcast 2 player co-op released on Dreamcast modded for PC last year.


Highly recommended Fan-made mods
-----------------------------------
Half Life : Case Closed - You're a janitor trying to escape Black Mesa.
Portal Prelude - Prequel to Portal, very tough precise puzzles.
Antlion Trooper Deuce - Fighting retreat played as a combine soldier.
The Rock 24 - Join the resistance and help take down a large combine facility.
Research and Developement - Amusing and really well made brain tickler.



Also check out http://www.blackmesasource.com/ - A full fan-made remake of the events of Half Life including co-op play through and multiplayer. Looks unreal. Hopefully to be released later this year.

Rock 24 blows.

 

[tommyspade]

Very insightfull Barnz.
I'll let you're opinion overide mine or any kind of critical review.
Thanks for setting me straight.

People should listen me - considering I've played %90 of Half-Life, and most of HL2 mods/levels. I downloaded Rock 24, because I knew it was made by two guys from Eidos. Gameplay/brushwork was beyond terrible. Some scenes I remember (and want to forget):

. You use some turrets to take down standing metrocops on small platforms (at the beginning). They can't get away, they're just waiting for you to kill them.
. Annoying, dumb puzzles. No story at all.
. Sniper scene.
. Last fight is such a chaos. It was completely broken.
. "Don't tickle me (or something), Gordon" - yeah, right

I give it a 4/10 (i like ship, and elevator (even it's an overused idea) parts) - it's an average mod

Oh, and Decay was an exclusive addon for PlayStation 2, not Dreamcast.

You missed Half-Life 2: Lost Coast and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. Both are free on the PC, providing you have an ATI or Nvidia graphics card.

 

[Laivasse]

You've really got to try Research & Development, like tommyspade mentioned. Great little new mod.

 

[Darkside55]

Half Life : Decay...modded for PC last year.

I'd been watching this for years and I somehow completely missed that it was released.

Speaking of all these mods, I wish Espace Mod was still around. That site was absolutely unparalleled when it came to the list of HL1 SP mods.

 

[Barnz]

Really? Let's play together. What's your Steam ID?

 

[PurpleHeadcrab]

did you download Half-Life 2:The Lost Coast? I have the game, and got it for free. Its Magnificent.

 

[JUL3]

PurpleHeadcrab... No one has posted in this thread since August 09, I think the discussion is closed.

But in anycase, welcome to HL2.net! Introduce yourself in Newbie Forum.

 

[ríomhaire]

No one mentioned Uplink?

 

[Dead Phil]

Has anyone already suggested Black mesa source, or operation black mesa?, Or opposing force 2?

They're not out yet but keep an close on on Black Meas Source: it isn't hard to mistake it being made by valve, that is how good it is

you may want to help them at the other 2 i suggested and with Black mesa, because they want to add a co op part of it and a death match but they need more people and until right now i relised that this post ended years ago.................................i guess that means i can right anythnig i want..............................PENIS..........**** SHIT **** **** SHIT MOTHER****ER ASSHOLE JACKASS YOURE MOM FARTNOCKER

People should really go out and play half life: vistors, where you try and escape from BM, and point of view, where you play as a vort in black Mesa.

Ps, oppossing force 2 demo just came out the other day, everyone should go play it.
