Best Difficulty For HL1?

Half-Life Series
#21

^I think that is almost the same thought process that i did. haha

Plus on hard mode, you get a more rewarding and intense feeling as you progress through Black Mesa.

#22

I playing on Easy and Medium. On hard difficulty Ninja Black Ops are invisible :frowning: which knows to be totaly F*****ED !!!

#23

They’re invisible on normal too.

#24

It’s not. I playing on Normal everyday. Maybe because i using Source Engine?

#25

Nope. They are visible on all difficulties except for Hard. on hard, they cloak when they are standing still. They become visible always when they run at you or are chased by you.

#26

Yeah your right. For some reason I thought I had been playing normal the last time I played.

#27

I haven’t read all of these posts ,whilst still submitting my opinion.

I would imagine any Half-Life believer (hahaha) who ends up playing the game starting from any difficulty level. Would end up playing up to the hardest difficulty just for shits and giggles. Or maybe I’m just obsessed… Sad … And I’m a bit out of my head.

#28

Playing games on hard means you’re obsessed? FUCK

I play all games on Hard the first time; it lengthens the experience and provides a nice challenge. :stuck_out_tongue:

#29

Hard mode

To make it a better challenge, hoard all the higher tier weapons and explosives so you have to use them.

Examples include,

satchel charges, tau cannon, magnum and gluon gun.

The only thing that ever frustrated me out of my mind in Hard was the damn controllers – and occasionally marines pissed me off. Other than that, it’s fun, but you have to save a lot.

#31

I play Half-Life on medium, though I’m considering bumping up the difficulty as I always get through with 100hp, 100Hev, and near-full ammo. (Excluding the final boss where I just fire everything.)

I dunno, is the game really that good on hard? Those marines are a BITCH to fight on medium.

How do you people manage to get past groups of marines on hard?

#32

My favorite difficulty is Normal, but I’m itching to replay Half-Life 1 on Hard. I played a vanilla Half-Life 1 mod and I wasn’t doing very good, I imagine it’s because I haven’t been playing the Half-Life games a lot recently.

#33

I beated Half-Life 1 on Easy, Half-Life 1 on Medium and Half-Life Source on Medium.
Also i beated Blue Shift on Eays and then on Medium. OP4 never beated because game crashes :frowning:

#34

I just haven’t felt the desire to bump up to hard. Medium offers decent challenge while still being easy enough for me to enjoy myself.

#35

doesn’t the fun of games come from the challenge?

#36

I always play my games on the hardest difficulty.

#37

Of course, but personally I find that if it’s too difficult i get frustrated. I like a game being hard enough that I’m always right at death’s door, but easy enough so that I can feel like a bad ass.

#38

Nope. Fun can come from a whole bunch of different things. Challenge is just one potential source of fun & one of the most difficult to get right.

#39

Personally I like it on hard the most, I never really found it too insane of a challenge to be able to play, but just enough to piss you off periodically

Finally some originality in this thread. ^

And you’re correct, also.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
