Description Valve Playthrough #2: Decay

Time to let the ladies don the HEV suits and pwn Xen invaders with the ancient art of crowbar-fu in this ported-to-PC Playstation game. You can read more of my review/thoughts on the game here -> [link]

Gina Cross is talking about green things and Colette Green is cross. I'm just that twisted.

Also, playing as a Vortigaunt = ULTIMATE WIN.

Up next, Half Life - Opposing Force.

There's gonna be a Source total conversion of Half-Life: Decay called Hazard Team.

Forgive me if you know this already, but in case you're confused by what "total conversion" means: Rather than simply porting it to the Source engine, the Dev team is remaking Half-Life: Decay from scratch, adapting it for Source. Story, weapons, & character models are gonna look mostly the same, though (just higher definition as a result of the total conversion). There's also gonna be Guard Duty (for Half-Life: Blue Shift), Operation Black Mesa (for Half-Life: Opposing Force), & Black Mesa: Source (for the core Half-Life 1).

Thanks for the overview (though I already know what a total conversion is, I'm sure anyone who doesn't would appreciate your concise summary). I've been avidly following the Black Mesa: Source project for years now - oooh I can't wait until it is done

Cool! It's only up to the "Lamda Core" chapter though. I'm waiting for the rest of the chapters to be added, then I'll download it.

You can play with AI - that's how I did it: it turns it effectively into a single-player game (because the AI is really stupid), where you take control of one or the other player characters. It is difficult, but possible to beat when playing this way

but how do i play it singleplayer

muffin-wrangler In reply to supernatural90 [2010-09-02 11:28:09 +0000 UTC]

You play as one character, and the AI automatically takes up control of the other. Generally this means leaving the other character behind, going ahead, finishing the level, then switching and coming back to take the other character to the endpoint. It has been a while since I played this now, so I can't remember the specifics of getting it working. Sorry I can't be of much more help

As someone who only just very recently tried going through Opposing Force, I have bad news for you; It had an update recently that broke it mid-game.

The second you press the button to get into the room with the big portal machine Gordon jumps into, it freezes.

Valve are onto it, though.

Hopefully that won't cause issues with the version I bought - it's not Source, it's pre-steam ye olde goodness. Thanks for the heads-up, though

Mk-8 In reply to muffin-wrangler [2008-12-07 01:24:56 +0000 UTC]

Aaaaaah, well as long as it's nothing to do with Steam should be 'right.

Far as I know, there's ONLY a non-Source version of Opposing Force and Blue Shift.

You'll need non-source Half Life 1, and this -> [link]

Have fun

I has a half life 1, and all the 1 franchise
0_o but what do you man by non source?

muffin-wrangler In reply to parrotsnpineapple [2008-12-06 12:09:00 +0000 UTC]

There's Half Life, and then there's Half Life: Source. Source is where they updated the game engine and tweaked it to improve the gameplay. It's still the same game, but some of the programming has been changed a little.

If you have Steam, it'll call it Half Life: Source if it is Source. If not, then it'll be just Half Life.

Decay only works with the non-source Half Life.

Hope that helps

I'm not sure how best to approach it for your setup - the site you download it from has instructions, plus if you get stuck they have a forum. Good luck!

Maybe you should invest in a crowbar.

Nothing beats the thrill of looking down and seeing Vortigaunt hands. That and shooting green electricity at exploding barrels. *manic grin*
