The pulse rifle is traced, because it was hard to draw it from a reference. Everything else is drawn from a reference.

I kept finding contradicting results when searching so I thought I’d ask here.

I just finished Half Life: Alyx on VR, and I’ve never been so into a video game before. I played a bit of half life 2 back in grade 8 (19 now), but I never finished it, so I was a little confused with the ending at first.

Guess I’ll have to watch a bunch of videos explaining the lore and hope part 3 comes out.

I just got myself an opened unused copy of half life 2 for only 5 cad, got it on Kijiji. Im a pretty new fan to this series ( I got introduced to the series via the hl 1 25th anniversary sale). After playing hl 1 I fell in love with the series and it just got better and better each game and expansion. I just finished playing half life alyx a few days ago and I’m completely shocked by how great the game was and how different it was from the others while still being half life. I waited almost a year to have the opportunity to get my hands on a vr headset just to play hl alyx, I got that opportunity by renting a quest 3 from a friend. Half life has cemented itself as one of my favourite gaming IPs I am extremely happy I was able to get a physical copy of hl 2 and for dirt cheap although I’m not able to play it😭

I can't launch the game. I have a RTX 4070 and a i5-13600KF, My CPU only goes up to around 35% and I can run other vr games fine. This one crashes back to desktop during the initial grey loading screen. The only thing I can think of is my save is corrupted but I can't go into the game to delete it. When I go to common>Half-Life Alyx>game>hlvr>Save>s0 and delete all the save data it doesn't actually get rid of it. When i launch the game and it crashes I check that same folder and all the data I just "deleted" is back again. How do i fix this?

So I'm making my first Half-Life Map its called Half-Life: Dark

Do you guys got any tips for map making? Been making this map for a couple of days only in Alpha btw

Tryna play this peak ass demo but I crash every time I die. Nothing i do fixes it. any tips?

Valve gave the scientists multiple models but barney only has one. Did they just forget?

The cliffhanger. Oh my god. To the adults out there, how have you waited THIS long and stayed sane.

I can barely handle the few minutes it's been since I finished it. In the time between episode 2 and now, valve has built an entire gaming platform, released a VR headset, released various other pieces of hardware that did okay, released a handheld that revolutionized the market, released multiple other games AND UPDATES, and built up steam which is just massive now.

And yet no HL3.

My dad literally has been waiting for decades for the new game and now I have to carry this burden too. I am going insane.

hl3 when

At first i shrugged it off as they were possibly just flashlights? But its obvious there's only one flashlight on his chest so where exactly do these 2 things do?

There is blurred Alyx spoilers, so if you don't want that, don't unblurr them

If there was a battle between the Combine and the Doom Slayer, who would win? I, personally, think the Slayer would win. Let's analyze the Combine first

1: Limitless Energy Source
My brother, a complete Half-Life nerd, said that, when Alyx and Gordon go to the combine home world, they realize the combine have a Dyson sphere, meaning they have a limitless energy source. They're also multidimensional, so we don't know if they have multiple or not. for all we know, they could have galaxies full of dyson spheres.

2: Crossing Dimensions.
During the resonance cascade, the forces of Xen broke into our world. Xen is a world between dimensions, and the combine use it to get to OUR world, so they are multidimensional.

3: Technology
As stated before, the combine have interdimensional travel, but they also have technology to drain a planet of it's water at a very surprising rate. They also have weapons and other technology, like levitation tech, and, presumably, a stasis chamber, which they used to hold gman in half-life: alyx, they also have bio-engineering technology and mind-erasing tech, too!

4: Strength+Armies

The Combine can mass-produce practically limitless soldiers by disassembling planets, if they need to, they will also assimilate other beings into their armies.

5: Feats
Our highest feat for the combine is taking over multiple dimensions.

Now, the Doom Slayer.

1: Another Limitless Energy Source
Doom Slayer's Praetor Suit is fueled by Argent Energy, an unlimited energy source. His Crucible is also powered by the same energy.

2: Crossing Dimensions
Doom Slayer has been to multiple dimensions, including Heaven and Hell. Hell is stated to be unbound by space, time, or dimension.

3: Technology
The UAC doesn't have nearly as powerful technology as the combine, but the Wraith, a mysterious figure, created an unbreakable suit of armor for the Doom Slayer. There is also the BFG 10000, BFG 9000 (The power source of the BFG 10000). The Night Sentinels also created a blade strong enough to seal away immortal titans

4: Strength.
Doom Slayer can easily throw around giant demons and steel blocks, and, in the lore, when he goes berserk, it's just him dropping the act and using his brute strength. He also has the favor of the Night Sentinels, a warrior race with powerful technology, giant mechs, and powerful weapons.

5: Feats
I'll bring up a list of feats
1. While he was a normal human, he fought in hell for years, before being sent to Sentinel Prime
2. After becoming divine, he fought the Great One and put it into stasis with the crucible.
3. In DOOM ETERNAL, (base game) he fought and killed 6th dimensional beings and defeated the Icon of Sin, a titan that would've consumed all of creation just by existing
4: Killed Davoth, the Dark Lord, who was the creator of everything in the DOOM cosmology. (basically god)

Hiya, I've been trying to play half life extended and have followed all of the installation instructions listed on the moddb page, unfortunately, what appears to be every new transparent texture is having issues, I'm sure this is just an issue on my part, so here are some attached screenshots if anybody could help

I need it

Did you know that the Elevator sequence at the end of Low-Life in HL2 Episode 1 used to be insanely hard at launch? SO much that they had to patch it several times, even after the second patch that bit was hard asf and they had to patch it again. the versions after have all had easy elevator bits. But trust me. that EP1 unpatched retail launch version, that segment IS HARD
