The last one, at least for a while. This video covers the whole Half-Life 1 storyline across the main game and all its official expansions: Opposing Force, Blue Shift and Decay. This includes Op4 “Boot Camp“, BS “Hazard Course“, the intro map for “HC“ from PS2 port of Half-Life and “Xen Attacks“ bonus mission from Decay.
I made this version primarily to have the full project as one uninterrupted video, and to fix some issues, mainly concerning audio levels in moments when somebody speaks something story-related, but you can’t hear them because there is a firefight in another footage. I also moved Decay outro forward a bit, because, for one, they clearly lost consciousness, so having them, Keller and other scientist to instantly move in the control room wouldn’t make much sense; and also to make Keller and Rosenberg speak one at the time, unlike in the first video.
You may also notice now colored “blank“ screens, inspired by Frozenhand00’s “Half Life Anthology“ video
The “Parallel points of view“ thing was partially inspired by “Black-Mesa Disaster on one map“ video from OWRING:
And this project in particular was inspired after watching Nixiner’s “Half Life Sync walkthrough from all sides“. Link to that video:
I understand that very few would find this entertaining, especially with how mediocre player I am, but I mostly did this as a challenge for myself to try and put all games together side by side in real time with as little cuts and fast-forwards as possible.
