Which Order Should I Play the Games In? 2. Should I Mod Half-Life 2 Before Playing? 3. Half-Life: Alyx Frequently Asked Questions 4. Subreddit Rules 5. Useful Resources 1A. Which Order Should I Play the Games In? Half-Life (Ignore Half-Life 1: Source. It's full of unpatched bugs) Half-Life Blue Shift (Standalone Expansion - Optional) Half-Life Opposing Force (Standalone Expansion - Optional) Half-Life: Decay (Co-op Multiplayer Expansion Pack - Optional) Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2: Episode One Half-Life 2: Episode Two Black Mesa (Half-Life Remake - Highly Recommended) Half-Life: Alyx (Coming March 2020) 1B. The Half-life Series Now Free to Play until Launch of Half-life: Alyx! Half-Life: Alyx is coming March 23, and we are celebrating early by making all games in the Half-Life Collection FREE to play for Steam users, from now until the day it launches! Half-Life: Alyx is set before the events of Half-Life 2 and the episodes, but the games share characters and story elements. The Half-Life: Alyx team believes that the best way to enjoy the new game is to play through the old ones, especially Half-Life 2 and the episodes, so we want to make that as easy as possible.

Learn More 2. Should I Mod Half-Life 2 Before Playing? Although Half-Life 2 is plenty great without any modifications, I do recommend at least one mod that gives the game some higher resolution textures and community bug-fixes that subtly improve the base game but remain faithful to the stock game. Half-Life 2: Update A completely free and extensive community-developed update for Half-Life 2 featuring beautiful lighting, countless bug fixes, and a brand new Community Commentary Mode. With Half-Life 2: Update, there's never been a better time to revisit City 17. Half-Life: Decay is the third expansion pack of Half-Life 1. It is a Co-op Multiplayer gamemode, and was exclusively made for the PS2 version of Half-Life 1. How To Play Half-Life: Decay in 2020: Option 1: Buy a copy of Half-Life 1 for the PS2. Option 2: Download the fan-ported version of the game. Go here and follow the instructions: https://www.steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=376774460 3. Half-Life: Alyx Frequently Asked Questions Do you have a question? Feel free to ask it, and somebody will try to answer it as much as possible. When will Half-Life: Alyx be released? March 23, 2020 Will Half-Life: Alyx be VR-only? Yes. Valve says the complex VR interactions do not translate well to keyboard and mouse. It is unknown if anyone will successfully mod Half-Life: Alyx to be playable without VR, but if they do, they are likely to prove Valve's point. Consider trying to play "Wii Sports" with a keyboard and mouse and you can get a better understanding of the issues translating input methods. Listen to Valve's explanation: https://youtu.be/-9K0eJEmMEw?t=583 (timestamped) Will there be a non-VR mode released? It is unknown if Valve or anyone from the community will successfully modify Half-Life: Alyx to be playable without VR, but if they do, they are likely to prove Valve's point. Consider trying to play "Wii Sports" with a keyboard and mouse and you can get a better understanding of the issues translating input methods.

You Can Play Half-Life: Alyx with any SteamVR-compatible System Half-Life: Alyx supports a variety of play environments, locomotion methods, and input devices. If you have VR hardware that works with a computer, then it works with SteamVR. If you don't yet own any VR hardware, now's the time.

Half Life [α -λ-> Ω] Freeman's Journey Photographic Gallery Posted: 17 Feb 2020 05:57 PM PST ​ (this was supposed to be some kind of menu, but seems image links are not possible on reddit) BM [13/99/125] HL2 [3/103] EP1 [41] EP2 [4] "From Alpha to Omega, through Lambda" As I like to call it, Is a photo gallery of Gordon Freeman's journey from beggining to ending, trying to generate some graphic visual coherence thanks to the completion of Black Mesa and mods to match the quality of the old HL2. Obviously the gallery contains spoilers, although in the following links the galleries are divided by title, numbered and in order. In general they should cover most of the events or enviroments of the game. The images have not undergone any modification (beyond the typical compression) and are all stored in Steam, in their corresponding areas. ​ Black Mesa Gallery Half Life 2 Gallery Episode I Gallery Episode II Gallery ​ * Although my goal is to point to the original "remastered" art, certain filters, mods, or the mix of both could be considered by the more purist community as "non-original", understand that this version is subject to my particular tastes and take it on count. I used here HL2 + Update + Cinematic Mod 13 - v1.24 + MMod v1.3 + custom Reshade (HL2+Eps) while just the reshade on Black Mesa. I count to update them the following days and add them to the topic. submitted by /u/BioClone [link] [comments]

Who voiced the Vortigaunts in Half-Life 1? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 05:16 PM PST The Vortigaunts have an eerily human-like voice. I'm just curious to know who voiced them. I mean, their sounds had to come from somewhere. submitted by /u/FMM_UV-32 [link] [comments]
