Do you have training to use the flares?
No. We decided against it a while back. Come to think of it, I don’t remember why we arrived at that decision. We’ll see.
It was because they have no use throughout the game outside of UC and OC, and even so there’s nothing to reasonably teach, if I recall correctly. And if that’s incorrect, those are the new reasons. 
Then, as a suggestion maybe you can add a box of fuses to use during the flashlight training, that would hit two birds with one stone, well if it’s up to you.
Why use flares when you have a flashlight?
sure, the flares are brighter, but they also prevent you from using weapons (although it is rather fun to light zombies on fire)
Indeed, and the only purpose, use it as a weapon till u get the crowbar…
Yeah, it’s not important at all. At that point it’s just looking for more useless stuff to try and cram into the course. We don’t need to explain every single thing that might happen in the game.
Is most of the work nearly finished? Because I wanted to post some little ideas, but I may be too late
It’s never too late! Post your ideas! 
We’re still in the Alpha stage, so there’s plenty of room for big modifications.
random thought seeing as you are setting the hazard course in an industrial area could you put one of the automated loaders in the back ground (the large yellow thing you only see once in the intro)
I have an idea you might like…
Basically it depends on wether you consider it to be gordon or not on the hazzard course…
If you think it is gordon on the hazard course then you could at the very end of the hazard course, have a cleanse shower and de-robe (as this is a training facility) a security guard make comments and reveal this is in fact gordon? and it’s his first day on the job.
Stuff like this.
“So who have we got here…(looks at clipboard or roster) Ah freeman”
“Are you looking forwrd to working at Black Mesa?”
“So how did the training go? …Materials Handling…Boy your gonna need it”
“you seem the shy type…This place will soon bring you out of your shell”
“Good Luck with the new job…See you around”
This would be quite comical perhaps and finish it in quite a new way…
Just an idea anyway.
First off, it is Gordon Freeman in the Hazard Course. It makes the most sense, and our script has been written to reflect as such.
But those are some good ideas. We’ve already got quite a few lines to that are similar to those.
That’s good to hear…
I think the shower and de-robe would be quite good to strip you once again of the suit before the level is over because that makes you notice the difference of not wearing it and want to play the game to get back in to the HEV suit once more. Would the HEV suit containers have the cleanse (Purge) process incorporated?
Anyway some food for thought there…
I think we’ve discussed removal of the suit. Not sure if it’s something we’re able to do, what with the technical limitations, and how difficult it’ll be to do it convincingly with such limits.
Yeah I thought about that… It is possible to strip gordon of all weapons and the suit no problem there…(player_weaponstrip - input - StripWeaponsAndSuit)
I think all you would have to do is make a prop_suit spawn that was not an item_suit… and well thats more or less it… I’ll leave it with you what ever you decide but I am sure this is possible.
It’s possible, but if we do it, we don’t want it to look silly, and we only have so much to work with.
Not being pushy I am sure you may have thought about it but… Sound and Black screen with a message “5 minutes Later” is another route but probably not one you would consider.
That’s all I can come up with for a work around anyways to as you say looking weird or silly. Like in Apprehension where gordon get’s knocked ot… That is plausible and particularly because he would be taking his clothes off you would get away with it and there is another joke in there somewhere
one last security guard line…
“your boss, Is a real stickler for punctuality, so if you want my advice…Show up early… unless you want to get fired”
Kleiner isn’t Freeman’s boss as far as can be seen.
who is… Magnusson?.. Edited it so that it is open…
Apparently just another scientist at Black Mesa. The only real info we have on who he is is about him during the HL2 era. But he’ irrelevant to the Hazard Course.
