I want more bhop maps in black mesa workshop, currently there's only two, one of them is a 10 seconds piece of cake, and the second is actually good. So there's only one bhop map on the workshop, basically.

What my little sister thinks the Half Life characters are as a family

So my little sister thought gmod looked fun so I let her try it out and thought her how to do some basic stuff. She found the half life character npcs and doesn’t know anything about them besides they come from some game. This is her family she made from the characters from what she thinks they would be using what they look Iike and their names.

Brutal Half-Life love letter

I'm sure lots of people are already familiar with it, but I just wanted to say: Brutal Half-Life (v3) is one of the best HL mods I've ever played

It's got Blood, Quake, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein, DOOM and I'm sure many more (hoping for some Heretic) maps but in the GoldSrc engine, this is a dream come true and I had no idea I wanted this

The ability to have almost every weapon on akimbo, some BFG in fucking HALF-LIFE, I don't want to spoil too much but this is GOOD (whoever made the Blood lighter-flamethrower is a genius)

Tip: press use on the backbacks dropped by HECUs and then mouse2 to open them: ammos, heals, lots of goodies in those

Played a lot on Easy, Medium, time to try Hard!!!

Guys.. Am i stupid?

I played HL2 on steam until the citadel blew up. I thought that was the end. I even played Alyx, and i thought at the end “Huh, that must be a new thing”. Today, however, I was watching a youtube video on the cinematic mod while playing a game and saw him taking about ep2 and i knew none of it, so i started playing. Am i stupid?

Would there be any way to play hl2 rtx WITHOUT ray tracing when it releases?

I’ll admit: this is a really dumb question, but I really want to play hl2 but with the fancy graphics and all that but I have an AMD card and can’t really do ray tracing all too well. Would there be a way to turn the ray tracing off or nah?

What did The Combine had planned for humanity and planet Earth in the long-run?

Let’s say Gordon never showed up to lead the resistance and the combine just kept doing what they do. We know Breen’s propaganda is bullshit, so they are not giving us immortality or whatever, the suppression field is never going away, but then this means there would be a finite number of humans, both in the cities and in the Wasteland. The combine never showed any interest in keeping humanity alive, it’s like they were creating excuses to kill us one by one, instead of just wiping everyone out.

So what would the combine do when the last human died of natural causes? Or when the last human was assimilated? Would they just move on to the next planet? Finish draining the natural resources like the oceans?

If their goal was to have a constant supply of humans to turn into overwatch and use them in their conquests elsewhere, why the supression field? Why they never tried to clone us or have a population control?

And if their goal was to extinguish humanity why not open a super portal above the citadel and rain fire across the planet?
