And?

The Half-Life 1 tutorial is pretty cool. It's also cool that you can return there in Opposing Force.

>>389419987
I remember playing the Half-life demo off of a PCgamer demo disk

one of the most iconic vidya tutorials of all time

>Please note that at this moment the mod IS NOT compatible with the Steam version of the game!

Aww

seems a bit longwinded

>>389423214
The weapon training has been paid for. Might as well use it. I can't think of a situation where a scientist would need such training.

>>389423318
The real purpose of Hazard Course is to prepare people for Xen expeditions.

>>389419987
So what, there was a mod that re-created cut parts of Surface Tension and on Rails, with BMS team making Xen this is the last piece of content that will make black mesa remake full

>>389423501
What is this Xen expeditions you speak of?

Yeah, those scientists don't think highly of Gordon with that whole "oh, One Degree, well that fine too" or "diversity". He basically expendable. They kind of expect him to die or something.

>>389423745
There are multiple people in HEV suits that go to Xen, not just Gordon. Chances are they were scientists too.

Half Life 1, Max Payne 1, Deus Ex 1. All 3 released within a 2-3 year span and were not only the absolute pinnacle of their respective series, each one is the pinnacle of their genres.

Also, I seriously hope you guys don't play Half Life in anything but software rendering mode like it was designed to be played.

>>389423873
HL is good, but hardly a pinnacle of FPS.
>software rendering mode like it was designed to be played
Nice meme.

>>389423859
Yeah I know, I play the game. There are a lot of dead bodies lying around in Xen and in the final boss area. I think those guys, despite being scientists, are expendable and lower tier in the status ladder. Ironically, they end up dying in the beginning went everything went to hell and you end up safe because of the said suit.

>>389423942
pretty much every FPS after HL1 tries to ape it

>>389423873
You just have to disable the AA and texture filtering to get the genuine software look

>>389424025
So where does Halo come in?

>>389424025
Even if that would be true (it's not), what does it have to do with my point?

>>389424097
Pretty much nobody I knew played HL1 with texture filtering off, and I'm pretty sure it was designed with it in mind. It's not Doom or Quake which turn into a blurry mess, Doom sprites especially look like garbage.

>>389424151
another game that tries to ape HL1's scripted events

HL1 OpenGL mode still fucks textures up, even with Nearest filtering.
Top Xash3d, bottom Steam version

>>389424520
Looks like shit. The game wasn't designed with it in mind.

However, is that Half-Life Cthulhu mod? I remember enjoying it a lot.

Don't you just love charging your HEV suit?

>>389424715
Not quite sure what to make of it, they both look similar to me. Bottom screen have AA enabled, may be that's the case it doesn't look right to you.

Half-Rats: a fever dream, i didn't like it very much, some non-intuitive puzzles and a bullshit boss

Half-Life Decay

>>389424715
oh wait, now i see it, the text is unreadable

>>389425062
I see, I remember Cthulhu using similarly looking font.

OpenGL in HL1 has bug that breaks non-power of two textures https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/1650

Whats the benefit of Xash3d if I'm running WON?

>>389425351
>>389425301
>>389425062
Remember, Non-Steam versions of GoldSrc did support directx yet valve removed it in the steam versions.

>>389419987
but HECU were a secret unit like the Black Ops
why would they be in the magazine

ass slappage

>>389420995
i liked that OpFor had a new, different tutorial too

>>389425686
Now why would they do something like that

>>389421268
>>389421343

Man, I have really fond memories of uplink despite it being like 5 minutes long.

>3rd party fanfic mod made by some slav fuck
who cares?

Is it possible to enable widescreen in WON version in D3D mode?

>>389426330
To maintain only single API across all platforms

>>389425604
Well, I can't run Sierra version in OpenGL for some reason and there's no way to enable widescreen in other modes, so Xash3d really helped me.

I prefer this over handholding, figure shit out yourself yuh fag.

>figure shit out yourself
You're supposed to read the manual. Also SS2 has a pretty long tutorial that explains to you how the inventory works, how to shoot, how to maintain guns etc. It's stylized as a recruitment agency IIRC. So, pretty much the same thing Hazard Course is.

Let Dean Takahashi play it. It'll be interesting.
