  • WHERE DO PEOPLE GET THESE!???? I WANNA PLAY!!!

  • 2:14

    HUMAN SEARGENT!

  • hey, some features are more realistic and fun than half life!

  • where i cn download it?

  • @Mrfrenetic3 You can't... Sadly.

  • no HEV suit? rofl

  • this beta looks like shit. really glad valve delays their games a lot

  • @aatusha It looks better :3

  • at least the ladders were actual models,not textures,the ingame "train" looked more awesome

  • you need hundred of ammo to kill an emeny, but they can kill you in seconds

  • were does one find this game. i have played half life 1 ever since i was 5 so i would give anything to play this

  • Is this beta available somewhere? Demo, playable preview, something. Thanks :-) .

  • someone stole this from you: stealthhouse

  • I WANT TIS NAO!!!

  • Hey does anyone remember a rather old obscure pc gaming magazine that came with this beta as a demo? I'm sure I recall it. Either that or it was just the Day One demo.

  • thumbs if VALVe or CombineOverwiki brought you here

  • The beta featured much harder to beat enemies, i can tell

  • I LOVE 16bpp RENDERING!

  • so quake-ish

  • @bromeful Well, it was built off the Quake engine...

    @av3nger3 Technically, it's an early version of that Half-Life song. They just get recycled.

  • @bromeful The Engine Hl1 Is Running On Is A Strongly Modefied Version Of The Quake Engine

  • Wow this must have been an early version of that Half-Life 2 song.

  • Why would I always rather play Beta versions of Valve games? Orrather play both planned and retail versions.

  • @Yfr28 Me too!

  • it sucks....

  • Is the MP5 he only weapon you get?

  • @sammo5000 What? Hell no!

  • @sammo5000 no

  • so.... this is half life uplink?... maybe day one?....

    what half life version is?!

  • Goddamn it, now that I've seen this I wanted this to be the retail version.

  • 1:14 this looks familiar :)

  • @MarioPro65 they should have left that ladder effect in.

  • Wow.

    This adrenaline Guitar version is awesome.

    What I see in this video is awesome as well.

    But, damn, the Human Sergeant is so frustrating :o

  • omg it will take a month to kill those helicopters!

  • "hell...thats all you got..."

  • thumbs up for diabolical adrenaline guitar XD

  • goo trains :D

  • I see a goldeneye influence

  • it has good graphics for its time in 1997

  • moddb_com/mods/hlquiver - a mod based on the Half-Life beta/alpha stages

  • Do you guys think they still have all of the alpha, and beta maps,, etc somewhere in VALVe's studios? or do you think they just deleted all of it.

  • @gtastuntcrew302 I think they deleted all of it, or used the same content/programming and modified it that became the final, But Im sure there is a press leaked Alpha/Beta CD and\or the programmers have a development diary

  • Here Half-Life is still using the Quake 2 Engine.

    They moved later to a heavily modified version of the Quake 1 Engine.

  • @95Navigator That Heavily Modified version of the Quake One engine being given the retronym 'GoldSrc' in wake of the dawn of Source.

  • half life is better :D

  • LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE FORGOT HIS SUIT !

  • @viliussmproductions Freeman was original a Biker, yes it socked me too !

  • I am working on it to get this beta.But still only photos,videos,few models etc.

  • whoever played this, he sucked at it :P

  • My god. Military Precision sounds ... different.

  • Also, I miss the fact that you tilted left and right while strafing in HL1 :/

  • the blockiness hurts

  • Seems like Half-Life was intended to be alot more action-y.

  • wow the ai looks like it would take years to kill them

  • ahhh... the original adrenaline guitar...

    if only some1 had a nontorrent high quality full download of this song, it would be full-life

  • The song is the beta of diabolical adrenaline guitar!!!! Or not???!!!

    I would say it is!!!

  • the beta graphics remind me of GoldenEye... they have that same N64-esque level of graniness and blockiness...

  • amazing ai

  • why isn't there a HUD?

    btw this kicks ass, where did you get it? :O

  • I wish VALVe would release this beta someday. .

  • yeah running around with mp5s shooting shooting helicopters that sounds awee......... actually that doesnt (but i still want the half life 1 & the half life 2 beta)

  • He may not NEED an HEV suit, but it does help. Still Gordon Freeman Pwns everything!

  • i love how the MP5 sounds like a laser gun

  • i know thats what i said in last comment and i said "explains why they made dmc" as i meant they made quake world with their enhanced gold src in tribute to it

  • No HEV ! LoL :D

  • gordon freeman dosent need a hev suit to kill ailiens hes to mutch of a badass! =D

  • @oznob11 Gordon freeman is the scientist version of Duke Nukem

  • @1PlayerD duke nukem and doom guy combined is not worthy enough to even attempt to beat gordon freeman

  • @Littlesam1718 You sir make a good point!

  • firstly no that was not even close to trolling.second i read on the valve dev community and they said they used the quakeworld engine so your basically right.also explains why they made deathmatch classic lol.

  • Where to Download?

  • you sure this beta looks VERY quake 2ish even the alien grunts are the same as quake 2 grunts in combat just agrunts shoot bugs that fly around and grunts from quake 2 use miniguns

  • you mean quake 2 engine?

  • This was the version they looked at and said "This isn't good enough." And started making what we know know as Half Life.

  • Mr. Friendly the alien penis FTW

  • That was remaked

  • wow wish ladder climbing would be like that in full version :D

  • lol yeah thats actually more realistic :P sounds could be better though.

    Also i wonder why they took out the minigun grunt? its awesome in Sven Coop

  • lol no HEV suit arms

  • @SeanAMahaffey Luck + Torrent = this game

  • At 1:35 those ladders are huge.

  • does anyone know what the name of the song is playing in the background? i know it was from half life but i dont know its name.

  • Drums & Riffs?

  • its adrenaline guitar in a midi format and sadly you can't find this version. :(

    awesome trailer got to love VALVe's betas now if only they made there own mod using this old content :D

  • @glue105 Sounds more like a .mod than a .midi

  • @glue105

    If you have noticed they have been reusing old beta content through out their games, such as Half-life 2's Beta Content.

  • @glue105 well there are some mods like Missing Information,The Loast Coast etc. and they have cut content,chapters of half life,half life 2 and search up on the half life beta because VALVe said on the Combine OverWiki that there is a playable beta version.

  • @glue105 I have this version. Pm me if you want it.

  • @siemka321 yeah right

  • @halfhalo33 No seriously. And i ment the diabolical adrenaline song not this hl version.

  • It sounds(and is obviously, , duh...) and early version of the Action Andrenaline song, you cnan can hear the Post-Industrial -> Industrial Metal influences Kelly Bailey has used through tihs track! Veruy Quake/Wolfesstein-Esque...

  • I WANT TO PLAY THIS!!!

  • @AMD889 they're making a mod called HL 1997

  • funny story about Half-life, id seemed to have a small consortium of buddy buddy developers during the 90s where they all liked to exchange ideas about how to program games and how to go about improving their graphical output with the limited technology of the time. Early on Valve were one of these companies. Also Raven software (who are still buddies with id today), a lot of FPS game developers look up on id as their pseudo-parents and hold greater respect for them then even their fans.

  • Thank GOD Valve re-rendered the Quake 2 engine to gold src, cause this looks exactly liek quake 2, maybe with a diff gun and cheest music but the hands and everything else is he same

  • Valve re-rendered Quake 1 engine. Not Quake 2.

  • oops i got confused cause the original guake 2 engine was gonna be used for HL but ur right they went back to quake

  • the grapichs where outstanding for this game if i had it can you imagin creating a mod for this beta? usign all the Beta craractors? it owuld AWESOME@!!!

  • Amen

  • like missing information mod but for hl1

  • he mean hl beta.

  • you die 2 fast in this game but its fun :D

  • That's not him playing by the way. This was played in the E3 of 1997.

  • Yeah!  Me too!

  • Srsly now, i really want the soundtrack, just without gunshots and other ambience files. Can anyone help?

  • yea same here dude i really want those hl1 beta ambiance files voice files and everything!

  • I kinda like how slow you went up the ladder. Cool video!

  • Does anyone know were I can find a mp3 or something of this beta version of Diabolical Adrenaline Guitar?

  • go to mediaconverter(dot)org, copy and paste the video link from youtube, put it in the website and choose to save the file as mp3

  • Ivan the Space Biker, I lament your loss.

  • now if only they released this and the dnf quake2 engine beta. I bet they'd still be played today.

  • weird.... but.. awesome!

  • How many weapons did you have in this version anyway? 3?!

  • i wish they kept the camera bobbing when you walk

  • It is already possible to get camera bobbing when you walk in Steam version of HL1...you just need to know the console commands and modify them...by default they are very low so it is either barely or not even at all noticeable anymore...

    How do I know this? I messed with the commands recently...

    Now I do not know about the camera sway when side stepping...

  • command please

  • cl_bob [number]

    I think the original is 0.47 not sure though, been a while

  • Oh, sorry, thats camera bobbing, i meant weapon bobbing left and right like in PS2 version.

  • @Ununoctium1337 cl_bob 0.47 is wrong it just makes the weapons shake forward and back..and btw its not 0.47 its 0.34

  • Then tell me the cmd please.

  • I think Half-Life beta have cool features than today ( it's like an ordinary FPS but not ordinary )

  • Wow. The retail is BETTER than beta in my opinion.

  • You can hear in the music parts of a song that is in the half life game :D EPIC!

  • how about the suit?

  • I wonder if that person who played it was happy :p

  • that was the part were the scientist jumped right trough the window and you had to do a flying leap

    of faith across the shaft

  • Damn, I wished retail HL1 camera swayed when you moved side to side :( gives a feel that you are in Quake.

  • Well...same engine. At least the beta was.

  • you could download HL uplink it still have this... or if you have the original disc of HL ver. 1.0.0.5 then use that *both of what I just mentioned have the swayed camera effect when side stepping in the game*

  • Dude, it is not the beta but more like a demo made before the game was released to give you a quick peek, because you can't get the one in this video, it was never released.

    If we're lucky it'll be given as a bonus on the Half-life 2 Episode 3 DVD, but only time will tell.

    But your beta, not anything like in this video, and it's ALMOST the same as the real Half-Life, only thing is there is only software video available and you sway when you strafe, and a few characters are less detailed.

  • "more like a demo made before the game was released." Yes, this was before the game was released. The game was not FINISHED. So therefore, it's the beta.

  • Are you talking about Half-Life: Day One? That is not beta - it's RC4 (Release Candidate 4), check version.txt file it says "OEM.RC4". Or are you talking about Half-Life: Uplink? It's engine is build 830 so it's even newer than retail one (build 738) and it contains cutted out levels...

  • Half-life: Day one. But Half-life: Day one, has more beta feautres. Also it was a pre-release so I do consider it the Beta, sorta...

  • Half Life Day One is not a beta, it is a demo.

  • just kidding (:

  • this game was a demo just for half life fans then they made half life 1 just like half life 2 beta

  • hey i have half life beta (: its fun and hard

  • you got half-life 1 beta???

  • Both of Nokiaqdman and Zylon are wrong.Thr hl had hybrid q1-q2 engine

  • @macrobuilder

    No. It has Q1 engine with some features from Q2 engine

  • I want the music in the video :o

  • for some reason gun handling, shot sounds sounds are more realistic. to me..

  • omg SUCKS

  • Freeman witout H.E.V lol

  • Q2 engine

  • Wrong. Heavily modified Q1 engine.

  • No. Q2 engine. Look at hands. GoldSource is heavily modified Q1 engine

  • valve was originally going to but they had most of the game on the modified Q1 so they stuck with that

  • Wrong again. They wanted to use Q2 engine, but then they decided to use Q1 engine instead

  • Thats what I said.

    They were going to use the Q2 engine,

    but they used the Q1 engine instead

  • Oh ok ^^

  • They were not going to use even Q2. They bought Q1 Engine in 1996. Q2 didn't even exist at 1996 lol

  • Yes they were. Quake 2 was released in 1997 when the game was still being developed. They were going to switch to it but decided not too because they had already developed much of the game on the heavily modified Q1 engine.

  • Yes you're right. Also they took some goodies from Q2 (when it was released) for GldSrc

  • yeah like bugfixes and stuff

  • You can't see you health?

  • its a beta

  • i said the game looked old, then a person called me an idiot, and to look at the name of the vid

  • what is the name of the music.please comment

  • its nonexistent anymore

  • Interesting.

    The enemies were way to strong.

    It's funny how they animated you going up the ladders. More realistic than what it became. But going up the ladders in the beta is not practical and to slow.

  • that music is like the old version of the soundtrack "Diabolical Adrenaline Guitar"

  • I have half life day one on disk, and it is the same stuff on the original half life!

  • yeah it happened the torrent was too I guess there's just no other way to play the beta other than get a job at Valve.

  • dude like not as cool as half life source

  • Quake 2 for the win!

  • Me and Xtream3amer found a beta torrent of Half-Life. The guy has lots of info, the file is around 100 mb, it seems it really might be the beta.

    We'll upload and advertise when it's done.

    We are not the ones who leaked it. But we're gonna spread it all over the Internet :D

  • Bullcrap, it is Half-Life Day One - it doesn't have the skins, physics, falling damage, etc. like in INDEEP. Though maybe one day we'll have it...

  • The problem wit hthe beta was that you had too low HP and the enemies had way too much HP! About 3 times more than you do!

  • who would last longest in a gun fight?

    A:an un-trained scientist

    B:a normal civilian

    C:a trained and armored marine

    i thought so.

  • D:Gordon Freeman with HEV suit.

  • kobis why u cant upload the half-life 1 beta PLZ TELL WHY...

  • Because that would be illegal...

  • Zkaminski, it still would be illegal because you're not suppose to own a copy of half-life beta.

    So kobis just upload the beta.

  • Yeah.
