I found loading screen tips in Half-Life: Alyx files.

I was looking in the HL:A files using GCFScape and found a file called hlvr_english.txt and decided to look through it. Beginning at line 661 you get Game Tips labeled as HLVR_LOADING_SCREEN_TIP. I don't think these get used in the game.

They aren't really tips (except a few) but more information about the history of Half-Life and Black Mesa.

I don't know if this is considered a leak but it does talk about gameplay elements from HL:A so I'm playing it safe.

After removing the duplicates I shrunk the file from 271 to 23 tips:

BLACK MESA is a former research facility whose experiments accidentally opened an interdimensional rift between Earth and a borderworld called Xen.
BLACK MESA: ALYX VANCE was an infant during THE BLACK MESA INCIDENT.
BLACK MESA: ALYX VANCE'S mother did not survive THE BLACK MESA INCIDENT.
BLACK MESA: ELI VANCE worked and lived with his family at BLACK MESA when THE RESONANCE CASCADE occurred.
CITY 17: A former cosmopolitan city, CITY 17 is now home to THE COMBINE'S human administration.
GORDON FREEMAN: prevented a XEN invasion during THE BLACK MESA INCIDENT. He has been missing ever since.
GRAVITY GLOVES: Russell invented the gloves to pull items towards from far away — even those attached to enemies.
HEADCRABS: The nature of the relationship between the Headcrab and its host is still not fully understood.
HUMAN LIFE: Humans have been unable to conceive since THE COMBINE established a GLOBAL SUPPRESSION FIELD.
QUARANTINE ZONES: The rift opened by the BLACK MESA INCIDENT has allowed alien flora and fauna from the XEN borderworld to infest localized areas of Earth. These areas have since been quarantined.
RESIN: The Combine use resin to construct weapons and other technologies.
THE BLACK MESA INCIDENT: A failed experiment with an alien substance created the disastrous event known as THE RESONANCE CASCADE.
THE CITADEL, THE COMBINE'S super-structure, is currently under construction.
THE COMBINE completely subsume their host subjects during the creation of a new entity.
THE COMBINE: Nobody knows where they come from or the nature of their ultimate goal.
THE RESISTANCE: Still in its infancy, the RESISTANCE is an anti-Combine insurgency led by former BLACK MESA researcher DR. ELI VANCE and his daughter ALYX.
THE SEVEN HOUR WAR: Earth's surrender to THE COMBINE was negotiated by DR. WALLACE BREEN, the administrator of BLACK MESA.
THE SEVEN HOUR WAR. THE COMBINE used the rift opened by THE BLACK MESA INCIDENT to travel to Earth and occupy the entire planet in a single confrontation.
TIP: Store extra items by placing them in the locations near your wrists.
TIP: To pause, press and hold the menu button.
VORTIGAUNTS: Once enslaved by THE COMBINE, THE VORTS share a singular consciousness.
WEAPONS: You can quickly switch between your hand and previous weapon by tapping the weapon selection button.
XEN: Portal storms, a byproduct of THE RESONANCE CASCADE, have allowed aliens, creatures, spores and fauna to teleport to Earth.

Sheckley and Griggs for the win.

Posted: 04 Nov 2020 12:55 PM PST

SHECKLEY: "Hey, if you see a bug on me, how about you try and get if off next time?"

GRIGGS: "I didn't see it!"

SHECKLEY: "Yeah. No. Sure. They're only like five feet tall!"

GRIGGS: "Sheckley."

SHECKLEY: "What?"

GRIGGS: "...Sheckley!"

SHECKLEY: "WHAT?!"

GRIGGS: "...Forget it."

GRIGGS: "I got... ten!"

SHECKLEY: "Yeah well we all got ten, there's hundreds of them!"

Fucking love these two.

So how do we know Gordon never shot a gun before?

People keep saying Gordon never shot a gun before. But what about the hazard course? Isn't part of HEV training to fire weapons?

Will Corporal Adrian Shepard return in any future Half-Life games?

Posted: 04 Nov 2020 10:36 PM PST

I mean he is a pretty cool character since he is like the HUNK of Half-Life since he was the sole survivor of his team and defeated Race X which were more dangerous than Xen. Overall he was a badass and I hope he can return maybe in Half-Life 2 Episode 3 or possibly Half-Life 3 and maybe he can be either silent like Gordon Freeman or he can have a dialogue where is he talking. Let me know about this.

Thanks in advance, Connor :)
