The first time I played half-life was only a few months ago on a 13-year-old demo CD that I found lying around. At first I was going to throw it away, but then I saw the "M" rating. Then I thought "meh...I try it once or twice." that's when I couldn't stop playing... I wonder what would have happened if I had thrown it away....
@doomfan12345 lol. I'd rage kinda hard if Valve did that, mostly cause it makes no sense, but I wouldn't be surprised if they called Episode 3: Half-Life 2: Episode 2: Episode 1 |: (
@onexero1 yes, but, titularly speaking, that would be synonymous with using what should be a title that starts it's own chapter (the way HL2 did) to finish what HL2 started, and even then, it'd only work if HL3 would take place in the same place as Half-Life 2, otherwise, if you wanted to drastically change the setting again, you'd have to make the next game HL4.
@clipsvh I would feel comfortable if the game was Half Life 3 if it was not set in City 17, Which I am sure it will not be given the ending, and that the engine has had a serious overhaul, which Portal 2 has shown quite well. Either way I just want my Half Life 3 or Episode 3 or whatever they want to call it. Gordon s Quest. I cannot wait!
@onexero1 I could argue that the other game labeled "Half-Life 2" also didn't take place in C17, but in the end I'll just agree with you and say that, yes HL2:E3 is LONG overdue.
@clipsvh Half-Life2 did take place at City17,thats why episode 1 and 2 all took place in city17,or had to do with city17,halflife1 took place in black mesa,since it had no storyline in the second one.,if there will be a episode3,then it will take place in city17since it still part of the2,my guess for Half-Life3,is it will take place with portal,black mesa is mentioned more than once in portal,and Dr.Collete Green,Dr.Gina Cross,or Corporal Michael Sheperd will return.
@TheSonic497 Episode 2 is labeled as "Half-Life 2" and takes place in white forest, which is far outside of City 17 (aka: that one big crater) also HL1's plot did effect HL2's plot, HL1 is the cause HL2 is the effect. According to both Portal and HL2:E2 Aperture and Black Mesa were competitors, Green and Cross died, and you mean Adrian Shepard, who can't be ruled out.
@clipsvh green and cross did not die,they survived the black mesa incident,and its not adrian,its michael,if you played opposing force,it would say his name at the beggining,
@TheSonic497 also if theories I've seen about Portal are correct, Portal one takes place sometime between HL1 and HL2 (glados hints at that) and as for Portal 2; probably happens sometime after HL2 (and the other games labeled "Half-Life 2")
@onexero1 also keep in mind that the episodes are, as you said, extensions of HL2, it just seems to me that finishing a game called "Half-Life 2" with a game called "Half-Life 3" seems like a pretty cheap way for Valve to finally put the number 3 in one of their titles.
Guys if you have this on the ps2, and never play it, you might want to consider selling it. I saw a few buyers on ebay who offered to pay me $250 for it.... someone else offered me $500... there are some places on google product search that would pay 130 bucks for it!
Awesome! This is probably some of the best game music ever, I love listening to this when I'm chilling. And a four minute loop to boot, great job clipsvh!!!
@ThrashDAHCmetaL lol thank you for your kind words, I was considering making a 10 minute loop proper (meaning it ends with the last note and begins with the first) without faded intro and ending (it'd be more seamless for people who like to do the playlist looping thing)
i miss playin this game with my dad =/ this game brought so much game to me as a child even today i play it NONE STOP on gmod and etc....were did those fuckin days go? =/
@Mrdirtysanchezstick those days went to the outer world, where the magical unicorns have decapitated all the zombies bringing peace to the planet Earth once and for all, however, Superman was unable to know that the trees there were made of super wood, so he couldn't cut them down and then.. wait.. what was the question?
@mattiasmoller just because pc didn't have this song doesn't mean you can't MAKE it have the song, it also does NOT make the console version superior... consoles will always writhe in the shame and guilt that comes with not being a PC...
@mattiasmoller that is a misconception. the first FPS with a 3D environment was DOOM then from that came quake, and modded from quake was HL and modded further from that was HL2. so the order in evolution goes:
Duck Hunt > Doom > Every FPS today
Duck Hunt > ID Tech > Quakeworld > GoldSource > Source > Orange(box)Source [last time I checked this was the family of the hl engine]
in short Valve built their business on modders, as they still do to this day...
but the ps2 has come with so MUCH games back in 2008 i prefer ps2 better dont get me wrong mines is slim and i dont have to worry about the loading like if your computer freezes you might loose something of half life ''or if it keeps freezing'' then what will you do. yes the ps2 freezes now and then but you dont loose your savings or something like that.
@alexvips I like polygaming (btw I'm coining that word, I got it copyrighted) but I will always prefer PC. I only got PS2 HL so that I could have the chance to play Half-Life: Decay
I agree. With the right computer, you could get the graphics HIGHER than consoles. (Although I'm someone who doesn't give a shit about that) Then there's also numerous downloads that ALSO make stuff higher quality. And finally, the reason I prefer PC versions: MODS.
@Kitein every rule and preference has an exception, zelda is one of those games that kind of belong on consoles, mario as well. when I typed that comment I was thinking more about games like half-life and fps games, as opposed to what would be more universal. but that was just my opinion at the time, and in a manner of speaking, it kind of still is.
@RockportFBIAgent58 no the PC version, or the original version, does not have a song that plays in the menu. I ripped this straight from the PS2 game disk. Apparently Valve software likes to make their resources easily accessible. lol
@RockportFBIAgent58 exactly, but it's not really that simple. You need a program that is able to convert the files. And you only need one file, it's the one that says music. Like I said, Valve seems to love making their resources easy to find and use, lol
@RockportFBIAgent58 theoretically yes, but it depends on what you need them for, because all the songs are pretty much the same, except for the menu loop.
This track for me perfectly captures the atmosphere and the mystery of the Black Mesa Complex and makes me long to visit them again as Gordon: long, corridors full of half-shadows, giant pits, mysterious and secret experiments, super tech and alien worlds...
Its almost like capturing the entire of black mesa in one track, from the beggining to the end.

When I was younger, my brother always used to play Half - Life. I always thought it was pretty damn scary, thanks to the Zombies. And this theme made them terrifying.
Looking back, I would still say it's scary, but meh. It was a great game. XD
@sheogorath19 yeah I just decided to get the PS2 version not too long ago and I was like WOAH! EPIC SONG IS EPIC!! and then I wondered why Valve didn't put this song in the PC games' menu... so I put it in there myself!
This is why the PS2 version is SO EPIC! That's what sold Half-Life for me... THIS is what sold Half-Life for me... turn on my PS2 and EPICNESS... I was only 11 then...
