I have seen idle talk here and there about glitches related to the Half-Life games, but to the best of my knowledge, there isn’t a thread for this. With that being said, my apologies if there is. If nothing else, this thread should serve as an excuse to remember all the good times, and play Half-Life again.
Moving on: The name says it all. Post your glitch! These can be from any of the Half-Life games, including WON or Steam releases, but i’d like to primarily focus around the original Half-Life games (non-source) as there is a shit-ton more to post about.
Rules are simple:
- Provide a screenshot/description of where/how to find or perform the glitch
- Can be from any Half-Life game from Won or Steam, from Half-Life 1 alpha to Episode 2
- Be clear and specific on what the glitch does, and how to find it or perform it with step-by-step instructions and/or screenshots
- As screenshots of walls and such can be diffucult to discern from one another, be sure to post what game the bug is from
Lastly, my definition of glitch to prevent confusion:
Any broken mechanic, problem with the engine, bug, mapping issue, exploit, or problem that would otherwise be not be considered “normal” and is “fun” to find.
==================================================
So, to kick things off:
Example:
Game
Half-Life 1 (Works on both WON version & Steam)
Info
This is a lesser known bug that allows you to fall through the floor in Office Complex. It’s located directly to the right of the trashcan behind the scientist below.
Instructions
Walk behind the scientist to the corner behind him, put your face in the corner of the two walls, and you just fall through the floor.
Screenshots
(Pretend they are from Goldsrc, all i had on me.)
