DiablO2 Posted April 23, 2004 I really want to download the graphics pack for HALF-LIFE, but I don't want to buy BLUE SHIFT at all, is it possible to do this? 0 Share this post Link to post
Opulent Posted April 23, 2004 um, just buy HL; only real hardcore people got BS from what I know. The original graphics are under Valve's ownership. 0 Share this post Link to post
DiablO2 Posted April 24, 2004 I already OWN half=life, what I mean is BLUE-SHIFT supposedly came with an graphics enhancment for BLUE-SHIFT, HALF-LIFE, and OPPOSING FORCE. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted April 24, 2004 No, you cannot get it without buying Blue Shift. Supposedly Valve is going to make Blue Shift and the hi-def model pack available over Steam, but they have yet to do so. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grimm Posted April 24, 2004 Meh, Blue-Shift was mediocre. At least it came with Opposing Force. 0 Share this post Link to post

I think it was even better than the original HL (not as a stand-alone of course). Both HL and OpFor sported incredibly lame endbosses. Blue-Shift was more puzzle oriented. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grimm Posted April 24, 2004 Yep, cause puzzles are what I want in an FPS. Opposing Force's end boss certainly did suck though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Captain Red Posted April 24, 2004 I'll give you a crash corse on the value of a dollar: 10 dollars for a video game = cheap. 0 Share this post Link to post

Since you're in Japan, you should know someone to help you translate it. Unfortunately, that's about $80, but it seems that almost everything's more expensive in Japan. 0 Share this post Link to post

The reason I wanted OpFor so badly was because you play as a marine (there's something really cool about hearing those heavy army boots against the floor), and it had some really cool weapons. Oh yeah, and some of the levels seemed to be cool. I still think OpFor is the coolest "version" of the Half Life story, even though it's got more dumbass AI friendlies than the other two games, but in the end, it had about as much replayability value as Half Life itself which was nada - I gave it, along with Half Life and Blue Shift, to my younger brother and I think he later sold 'em to a friend. Puzzle-heavy FPSs - what is the world coming to? 0 Share this post Link to post

Same goes for Jedi Knight and add-on MotS. I find action a lot more fun when it's not the only feature of the game. Less action, more interaction! 0 Share this post Link to post

spank Posted April 25, 2004 I liked OpFor's final boss. It was old-school, with all the pattern based attacks and stuff. Reminded me of Shinobi. And the concept for the add-on itself was a success, I think. 0 Share this post Link to post
Szymanski Posted April 25, 2004 The models are ok but they replaced the mp5 with an m16 :(. Blue shift was a complete waste of money for what you got. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted April 25, 2004 I really like the whole idea behind BS and Op4 though, how they all intermix and stuff. Blue-Shift wasn't that bad in some places, but it was too short. 0 Share this post Link to post

Skeletor Posted April 28, 2004 opposing force was really bad. once I beat the game and saw the ending, I was like "Then what was the whole f**king point of shooting through all those aliens!" Total waste of time. 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted April 28, 2004 What the PS2 co-op mode, Half-Life: Decay? That intermixed with the storylines even more - f.ex the scientist who's hiding in a train in Blueshift is in Decay, and he gets you to power up the generator for the test chamber and send up the crystal sample for Freeman. You also get to play through a heavily damaged version of the training level from the original HL. I'm not sure if there are any direct links to Opposing Force in Decay, but then I haven't completed it yet ;). 0 Share this post Link to post
