Some of my favourite things HL1 has to offer, in an adowable bitesized little demo. I always yearn for this gigafacility built out of meringues and drywall. Even as a Valve Oldhead I'm still amazed by how much oldass legacy content I've never heard of can still find ways to bubble to the surface. Anyway dis is nice 😊, touches on what I wish HL1 included more of in the way of secret areas & rewards by interacting with the world. Good-humoured and lovely, just like you dear reader x
Yeah, I can see why this chapter got cut from the game.
the arenas suck ass and are just no fun it fight in.
Very little enemy variety too. it's like 90% just HECU grunts.
Also for the majority of the demo you only really have the MP5 with very little ammo supplied and hand-grenades. Half-Life's grenades notoriously suck so being having to use them as your primary weapon is nightmarish.
While it is kinda neat as a piece of Half-Life history, it has no value beyond that.
This getting scrapped from the final game was for the better.
