How many times you completed hl

[BlackWolfdrk]

How many times have you completed half life and on what difficulty

[Impulse147]

I've completed Hl 3-easy,1-Med.,1 Hard. Op4 2-easy,1-Med. Blue Shift 2-easy,2-Med.,2-Hard.
and i'm currently right b4 the pit worm in op4 on hard setting.I probably would have played less of Blue Shift if it was atleast 12-16 hours long.

[Dougy]

Once on half life easy.

twice op4 medium hard

0 blueshift got bored.

[-JeZ-]

I've only played HL1 once. I might give it another go before HL2 comes out.

[Fishlore]

I've never played or even seen a second's worth of footage of Half life. Crazy huh?

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Go play now!!!!!


Its a great game. (Well duh!)

[Brian Damage]

Errr... about three times at HL, twice at OP4, and I haven't finished Blueshift...

[mortiz]

3 times HL and 1 time OP4

[jabberwock95]

HL - 1 easy, 1 med
Blue Shift - 1 easy, 1 med
OpFor - 1 easy.

Why does no-one like blueshift? I loved it!

[mrchimp]

I'v lost count and i'm playing it though again now, I know it so well now I didn't lose any health on hard untill about a quater of the way through the game and thats because of fall damage.

I know some people have played it like 17 times or something rediculess like that.

[CrazyHarij]

I've never completed HL.. *runs away from angry HL2.net mob*

I tried to complete it once and for all about a month ago but I got stuck and got tired when all those other games where there to play..

I've completed Opposing Force once on Medium though, and Blue Shift aswell.

And yeah, Jabberwock, I liked Blue Shift alot aswell! It wasn't really that bad.

[Mr. Redundant]

I play all my games at their highest difficulty ( the way I see it, is I want to get the most out of the game the first time around... since chances of me replaying it are slim)

HL - highest difficulty = about 4 times all the way through (I tend to go back to old games every now and then.. like undying)

Opfor - highest difficulty = once

blueshift - highest difficulty = once

The Gunman Chronicles - highest difficulty = twice

and so on and so forth.

I love undying :)

[PvtRyan]

1 one half way through when my saves were deleted

1 time on medium through the whole game and now I'm doing it on hard.

[jabberwock95]

I play all my games at their highest difficulty ( the way I see it, is I want to get the most out of the game the first time around... since chances of me replaying it are slim)

I see what you mean, but usually I play on the easiest difficulty first, so I notice other things about the game without worrying about dying all the time. Anyone else do this?

[CrazyHarij]

I've got that obsession too, Redundant.. Although on some games I stop playing them because it gets too hard or i get stuck because of low health or something.. Hehe....

[Shuzer]

Beat HL on normal one time, that's it

[Rascall]

HL: 5 times on hard.
OpForce: 4 times on hard.
and
Blue Shift: 2 times on hard.

[slicktick]

hl:never on medium or easy (lost my saves both times) probably 4 or 5 times all the way through on hard
OpFor: beat it once on medium
Blue Shift: once on easy never on medium and like 2 times on hard

i play parts all the time though, this is just straight thru

[SubKamran]

2 times on Easy
1 time OP4 on Easy

I'm a wimp :D BUT, I pledge to not use cheats on HL2 just like I'm doing on WC3 and Max Payne 2 :D It's no fun with cheats :P

[kaf11]

i lost count, im actually on residue processing right now. im taking my time so i beat it again the day before HL2 comes out. I plan on starting HL2 on medium the first time just so I can appreciate it, then all 500 times after that itll be on hard.

[X-FacToR]

1 med when the game first shipped and playing right now through hard setting. One of the threads here in these forums made me want to play through it agian I think it was soemthing to do with what characters would you like to see return from hl to half-life 2 . Man I hate the bull squids :D DIE GRRRRR

[bgesley426]

0 on HL =P

But I'm on level 14 on Counter-Strike

[Ahnteis]

2-3 times. The last few levels I don't usually bother with any more. They aren't that fun.

[[daniom]]

I played HL in har the firth time, because i though back in `98 that it would be just as easy as quake 2 and Unreal, but i was wrong, so i restarted the game in Easy :D.

Today i think i played HL SP bout 5 times in hard difficulty, and Opposing Force, Blue Shift at least 2 times each.

I never get tired of Half-Life....

[$pazmatazz]

Half-life I finished once on easy, twice on medium and once on hard. Opposing Force I finished at least once on medium, and I think I finished it once more on the same difficulty. Blue shift again I finished at least once on medium, and think I finished it again on hard.

[Kadayi]

I've done HL¹ three times on medium
OP4 about 75% through
BS about 60% through

I rarely complete games unless they are majorly interesting. Generally after your 3/4 of the way through everything becomes one big meatgrinder with most games and the fun factor dissappears bigtime. I like a challenge, but I hate it when the game designers just stack the odds against you in the latter stages instead of being inventive. I like the notion of playing things through on hard (it's a nice theory), but I also like to take in the atmosphere a lot rather than worry the whole time about ammo etc.

[B_MAN]

hl = 4 times
op4 = 2 times
bs = 1
gunman = 1

:cheers:

[daveodeth]

Iv'e lost count of the amount of times iv'e completed Half-life although iv'e only finished both blue shift and OF twice on the highest difficulty.

P.S. does anyone else suffer from chronic reload syndrome, even in the middle of a gunfight i Instinctively press for the reload key after only firing once or twice.

[Lil' Timmy]

hl - 2x hardest
op4 - 1x hardest

that's all.

edit: do most ppl play w/o saving? i find it adds to the suspense.

[Letters]

I never finished it. Steam decided to go out of beta when I had finally gotten around to trying to play it again sooo... yeah... didn't start over.

[dfc05]

half-life once and a half.......
the first time on easy..... the second time i was supposed to start on hardest but i ended up taking over my sister's game which she had started on easy (she got through the beginning intro part, heh) and then i forgot to start over on hardest. by that time i was too far through and too lazy to start over.

op4 once on easy; haven't really had time to play that again.

[Fender357]

Wow...........I thought there would be someone like me who just played it constantly.

Seriously.........not joking what so ever....

HL
easy-1
normal- 32
hard-1


Op4
just normal...probably about 6 times.

I've been meaning to see exactly how fast I can compleat HL. So far I've never managed to beat it in a day....but I've never really started playing it very early in the day anyway.


LOL, yeah I do the reloading thing to. Even if its 1 bullet. Somthing about having a not full clip freaks me out.

[Ahnteis]

RE: Reloading -- yup. I'm an active "Reloaders Annonymous" member.
Running around in CS for example--I've fired 2 of 30 shots. Have to reload. What if I NEED those 2 extra bullets?! =(

[fizzlephox]

I'm a member of Reloaders Anonymous too. When I play DoD I shudder everytime I see a Garand on the ground.

I played through Half-Life about 2 times, I played through both add-ons only once. It's the mods I come back to, especially DoD, NS, CS, and TFC to a much lesser degree.

[Novar]

I have finished HL about 3 times easy, once med and about 5 times hard.

The last time I did it I finished in about 2 hours, I killed nearly every monster and that was with bunnyhopping through every level.

[Kincaid]

0000000000

[Sprafa]

HL=maybe 3 or 4 times in easy, 1 on normal and 1 on hard
OP4= 1 time in easy, 1 time in normal and 1 time in hard
BlueS= like 5 times in normal and 1 time in hard

My thoughts exactly... :naughty:

[CrazyHarij]

My thoughts exactly... :naughty:

I'll second that :P

[Zukix]

More embarassing to admit to than reloading... do you reach for f9 before walking round each corner?

...you try not to... try be strong... have will-power... then you get killed by a dum ass piece of falling ceiling or collapsing floor.

(3 times hard only - never tried e or m)

heh, me too. i was playing return to castle wolfenstein and everytime i shot i had to reload. my dad was watching me and asking "why do you have to reload".... ummm. but those few extra bullets do count.... right??

actually the way i play is really slow and annoying; it would really suck to have to watch me play. i have to get everything just right--like if i lose like 2 health it's not good enough so i play through that whole part again until i get it right. if it's possible to not lose any health then i just do it over again. i think i have obsessive compulsive disorder...... :o

I did that playing Max Payne, tryed to get through every section without getting hit \o/

Annoyed the girl who was watching me play no end :P

[Pressure]

I've beat HL 3 times on Medium and 1 time one Hard.

I used to be a quick save whore in MP but then I just stopped caring. So then I started to barely ever save.

[Bad^Hat]

From memory, twice on medium, then went through on difficult once, and easy a few times when I was bored. OpForce only once on easy recently when I borrowed it off a mate.

[A2597]

hmm....3-5 times, varying difficulty

[Bad^Hat]

Sounds like me :D MP and MP2 got me out of the habit of quicksaving all the time, and for games like CoD and FC where you have savepoints fairly often I don't even bother anymore. I'm glad HL2 is going for this approach aswell (atleast I heard somewhere...).

[Loke]

Half-Life - Easy = 5-6 times - Normal = 3-4 times - Hard = 1 time

Half-Life Opposing Force - Easy = 4-6 times - Normal = 0-1 - Hard = 0

Half-Life Blue Shift - Easy = 2-3 times - Normal = 0 - Hard = 0

And a plenty of singleplayer MODs too, like Case Closed (1 time on easy), USS Darkstar (2 times on easy) and They Hunger Episode 1 and 3 (didn't complete Episode 2, anyway completed Episode 1, 1 time on easy, and Episode 3, 1 time on easy).

I'm pretty chickenhearted. ;)

[Farrowlesparrow]

I played half-life on easy the first time i got it. After that it was hard setting all the way.
Ive completed the game about 3 times i think. I've completed Opposing force 2 times on hard and ive completed blueshift 2 times on hard.

I really loved Blueshift, but i think the lack of new weapons, even the op4 ones put a lot of people off. The story was different and a change from the norm of halflife which may have lost some fans to.

I liked the way you escaped...no gman taking an interest, no big damn alien and no saving the world. Just you and a few scientists running for you life. It had some cool sequences to, like the lift scene where it all goes wrong. Again, you are just a security guard on your shift without a clue whats going on around you. It was very atmospheric that part.


Oh yeah ive played a few single player mods as well. I cant remember them all but the one that stands out the most is Azure Sheep. They Hunger was alright as well.

[Loke]

no big damn alien and no saving the world. Just you and a few scientists running for you life. It had some cool sequences to, like the lift scene where it all goes wrong.

I agree with you there, that's why I also liked Blue Shift very much. But on the other hand, I like Opposing Force more than regular Half-Life... I don't know really why, but it's must be because it's no frustrating Xen part in OF and it has plenty of big badass weapons like the M249 and Sniper Rifle.

Also, I liked Race X too, how they were enemies against the Xen animals was pretty cool too. :)

[Dr. Freeman]

I've done HL¹ three times on medium
OP4 about 75% through
BS about 60% through

u haven't completed Blueshift? its the shortest of the 3.. if ur 60% through than ur almost there :p

I never finished it. Steam decided to go out of beta when I had finally gotten around to trying to play it again sooo... yeah... didn't start over.

hmm.. what part were u on? im playing through for a 3rd time now and have a bunch of saves from all the levels (i think).. most of the levels anyway.. let me know and i'll send u the file so u can continue from there :)


I did that playing Max Payne, tryed to get through every section without getting hit \o/

lol strangely.. i did that with Max Payne as well.. :rolling:


i always save, save alot.. mainly cause i like to play single player games in 30 minute spurts.

and i invented "The Chronic Reload Syndrome" club aight? :p


anyway, here are my hl/op4/bs stats :E

HL - 1x on medium and 2x on hard
OP4 - 1x on medium and 1x on hard
BS - 1x on hard
