Favorite HL/OP4/BS Chapters Created 20 years ago2004-06-24 18:23:27 UTC by m0p

HL: Lambda core or maybe On A Rail.
OP4: The one with the biolabs and bio chambers with tentacles.
Blue-Shift: The sewer chapter

All of them excluding jumping parts form Xen Grrrrrrr

the Intros!

Yeah! Intro's were good. I agree with Kol as well...

The xen part was fun, too.
Try to play without quicksaving, improves your feeling for the HL physics, or makes you throw your PC out the next window.
I liked the gman outros a lot, though many people complained because there was no real solution in the end. It's cool to have an open end.

Yeah, otherwise there'd be no Half-Life 2...

I've never actually played Blue-Shift (I know, I should but...)

But anyway, in Half-Life, mine has to be, maybe On a Rail or Surface Tension. But I do like the bit after the disaster, I think it's the chapter after Unforseen Circumstances where the G-Man is on the platform staring at you and there is those bullsquids and toxic barrels -- I always enjoy that part

No, you mean the one in the silo? That's blast pit I think. I actually like questionable ethics alot. Those textures are so cool.

HL: I dunno, maybe Blast Pit and Lamba Complex
BS(well heh.): Captive Fight or whatever was it
Op4: The first chapter, can't remember the name :/

The intros all rule, especially the opfor and bs intros. They were really good. But my fave normal maps:

HL: Questionable ethics, Lambda core, Surface tension
OpFor: The package, Foxtrot uniform, Vicarious reality (Biodome labs)
BS: Captive freight, Power struggle, A leap of faith

Hm.. i was let down by the biodome levels, i was expecting a lot more story backbone from those maps

BS(well heh.): Captive Fight or whatever was it
Op4: The first chapter, can't remember the name :/

Captive Freight.

Welcome To Black Mesa.

As for me, I liked Surface Tension for HL, Foxtrot Uniform for OpFor and Captive Freight for Bshift (teh only big chapter for bshift) Runners up are Friendly Fire (Op4), Insecurity (Nice chapter name, BS), Office Complex (HL) and Boot Camp (Op4).

Anyone else find the secret room in Op4's Boot camp, by the way? There is one.

Really? I noclipped round once in that outside area where the soldiers doing situps...

intros are great, but i didnt play BS...

hl: Blast Pit and Welcome to Black Mesa, and that part when you first time see the sky... You know that part when OSPREY is there and soldiers come down with ropes in that shaft... Brrrrr.

OPFOR: first chapter

i found that hidden room. i wont say where though, just to keep a surprise (and im a selfish little f**k )

for hl it would be surfce tension. bs i liked the outro. opfor was probably the outdoor bit with all ur buddies, just before and after foxtrot uniform.

Hidden room? You mean that elevator in forget about freeman with the big red button? That's no secret. Just noclip into it. It's obvious theres summin there as the button makes a noise.

Hidden room in the OpFor boot camp. It has the developer's initials (DMM) and 1999 in it. The elevator in "Forget About Freeman" was apparently part of the map that didn't make it. The button changelevels into the Lambda Core level into the vehicle bay with the tank. (You die, though). If anyone can't find the hidden room, ill post a pic in a while.

You can also check out your buddies and check out the Osprey that you fly into BM on in Boot Camp, apparently when the sergeant says "now go on your mission" or whatever, you would have to run to the osprey. Removed from the final release.

And I got lost in the biodome, it was too confusing.

And the Bshift outro was cool, the car was neato, and I like the sci hacking away at the fence with the crowbar. The "ba_maint" level was also cool, with the sci messing with the console and getting shocked, and barney leaping up from his chair.

OOOOH! I know the hidden room in the boot camp. That's a pretty cool room. If you noclip around in the initial part of my security breach map, you will find a secret room.

Secret areas are nice, I like em.

HL: I like Surface Tension, Blast Pit, "We've Got Hostiles", Interloper, Questionable Ethics

OP4: I like Vicarious Reality, Foxtrot Uniform, "The Package", Worlds Collide wich btw if none of you know when you face the geneworm there is a secret message....to beat the game you have to beat me blahblahblah....somtin like that...........hehe

BS: I like Captive Freight, Focal Point, Power Struggle, A Leap of Faith
my friend told me about another chapter called chumtoads lair....anyone know about that?

HL: On A rail

OP4: the first chapter

BS: Power struggle

Favorite chapters of Half Life:

Office Complex
Sureface tension
Questionable ethics
Xen (of course I love xen!)
Interloper/Nihilanth (if you can really consider that a chapter)

We've got hostiles is my most unliked chapter, all you fight in human grunt, gets annoying after a while.

Played OpForce but only once and I dont rember much from it

Its funny how the intials of blue shift is bs, what does that say about the game? Haha.

[quote]my friend told me about another chapter called chumtoads lair....anyone know about that?[quote]

Give yourself some extra ammo in 'Insecurity' and break the box in Calhoun's Locker.

to beat the game you have to beat me blahblahblah....somtin like that...........hehe

"To win the game, you must kill me, Randy Pitchford."

As for BS being the initials of Bshift, it says nothing! I really enjoyed Bshift, and you haven't completed the Black Mesa saga until you've played it. It had some nice levels and details, too, although was very short. Beat in 5 hours last weekend.

HL: Office Complex, Lambda Core
OP4: Welcome to Black Mesa
BS: Power Struggle, Leap of Faith(Part 2)

Favorite levels:
hl: on a rail
op4:Boot Camp (was cool )
Blue Shift: Too short to buy it(5 h of play : ) i'm not rich (by the way i've seen blue shift ONLY in Generation pack, never seen cd with only a blue shift)

Oh, and i love uplink mod/demo/"thing". Uplink was great (it was first " real-cool" game that i've played actualy )

from bluesnews

I was puttering around Zen in Half-Life Blue Shift, and being the nosey character I am, I decided to dive to the bottom of the deep pool (just before the waterfalls). I started hearing strange squeaks and chirps and noticed a small slit in the wall at the bottom of the pool. There are a couple of hairs sticking out of the floor in front of it.
I pulled out the trusty crowbar and started beating on the wall. I was down to about the last gasp of air when the wall gave way to a short passage. I popped up in a small cave and the game informed me that I was in "Chumtoad's Lair." There were three chumtoads sitting in front of impailer plants. I took a swing at one with the crowbar, and they all teleported elsewhere. The only thing left was a couple of snark pods.

the blue shift disc included op4 when it came out.

It still does. Comes with Plat'num pack, I think OpFor came with Generations. They sold it standalone in 2000 or whenever it came out, too. I remember seeing Calhoun on the shelf right there with Shepard and Gordon and the Counter-Strike dudes.

http://dhost.info/RabidMonkey777/randypitchford.wav if anyone wants to hear what that OpFor sound clip sounds like, I recorded it backwards so y'all can hear the message.

I like Uplink too...had some really nice details in it, and was part of the 'c3a1' level series originally, so its interesting to see how that fits into the bigger game.

Yeah, I bought the platinum pack about a year and a half ago.

Oh yeah, office complex was one of my favourites aswell, I just forgot to say

Office complex rocked. as for whoever spelled Xen with a "Z" YOU MUST DIE! YOU HAVE DISCRACED XEN!

I also like the scene in Unforseen Consequences where that zombie is doing the freakout thing in the chair, and that strobe light.

Uplink 0wned. SilentGunz, I got blue shift in the second day of it being released and it did not include op4.

Oh yeah! SEIZURE ZOMBIE! I kill it every time I play Half Life

Oh sorry master, I meant like a year after its release. I read it somewhere on the internet and forgot the details when I said that.

It was a sales ploy to try and sell more copies. Didn't work as most people already had OpFor.

From HL I enjoy mostly 'Questionable Ethics' and 'Surface Tension'. Sometimes I start playing the game over again just to reach these two chapters. And when I reach 'Forget about Freeman' I just restart...

The whole Op4 is very enjoyable, cause it has many surface areas. The Biodome labs are very nice, especially these observation areas.

What did you think of Gunman? Just out of curiosity :

Just type changelevel c3a1, think thats somewhere near questionable ethics.

i got gunman. i think it couldve been alot better, for a start is was too short. the tank was still fun tho

I love the biodomes in op4. Those are sooooooo cool. It's also the part where you get my favorite weapon, the barnacle!

Bah, best weapon in the displacer

The start map of Questionable Ethics is c2a4, not c3a1.

Oh, well what is c3a1? Xen? Probably, I know c4a1 is Gonoarchs lair and c5a1 is the gman's offer.

Yeah, I think c3a1 is Xen.

HL-The outro with G-Man.
Op4- The bootcamp intro.
Blue shift-The part where you get off the train and teh door is jammed.

HL: We Got Hostiles
OP4: The one with the parkibg lot thingy and the black ops.
Blue-Shift: The whole last part.

Floater, the gman scene isnt a chapter, its part of Nihilanth you foolish fool......foolinator!

lol
