I know the guy doing all of this work, his name is Alfred, he's an old guard employee they have retroactively repairing older GoldSrc engine games.

 

[Mexen]

We don't do that here. Wait, no, we do.

 

[mcz117chief]

I'm glad they finally fixed the MP5. I knew there was something off about it.

 

[EightBit Man]

I wish more companies maintained and updated their old games.

Hinting at the upcoming Half Life VR game, I see.

 

[Solomeena]

I just want Half-Life 3, is that to much to ask for?

Vr is doodoo

And yes i tried switch VR
It def is a gimmick

 

[Solomeena]

Indeed, it is too much to ask.

why do you always hurt me.

 

[epicnemesis]

This update actually makes me angry. Which makes me feel like an entitled prick. Which makes me angrier.

But seriously, don’t update the 21 year old game. It’s been 12 fucking years since you left us with a cliffhanger ending. (Spoiler warning?)

The game is 12 years old to hell with spoiler warnings

vr switch is fucking trash, the vive and index and oculus will transport you to another dimension

 

[DonJimbo]

Gabe where is HL3 ?

 

[Spukc]

Switch vr has that elephant cardboard thing that lets you draw in 3d space.
Like oculus.

So i hardly find it worth it tbh

 

[Tesseract]

vr switch is not vr

 

[Spukc]

You sound like you never tried it.
It impressed me a lot more then oculus did

Man, why aren't Valve doing Source 3.0 or something and letting developers use it? It's so crazy that they aren't following what Epic do with Unreal.
They had this great engine and then nothing.

Half Life was released on 19 November 1998

 

[Psajdak]

I only played a little bit of first game, so I wouldn't know.

But does the game still uses the same connection for these updates; I mean all these years?

Or is it just something Steam related?

What connection? (It's indeed Steam now)

 

[Psajdak]

What connection? (It's indeed Steam now)

I meant like if original version of game, when it was released, that it had some online mode, option to connect to Internet for multiplayer, and to download updates, and patches - that that connection was still in use for all that.

 

[DoctorEkkoUK]

Does this win the award for the longest period of time from a games official launch to its last official patch? I was a teenager when I bought this game and now I am almost 40. This is the first time a game patch has made me think about my own mortality, jesus

 

[Helios]

This shit happens every few months or so, I don't know why people are getting riled up about it.

But seriously, don’t update the 21 year old game.

No, wtf are you saying. Do the opposite. Support older games as much as you can.

 

[Knch]

And I answered: "what connection?" Because if you wanted an update in the good old days, you had to click a link on some site somewhere, choose where to save it, navigate to it, double click it, extract it and tell your OS of choice to overwrite the files.

There were probably some official servers for multiplayer though, which are probably long dead.

The old Half Life was the WON version, the Steam version has some differences.

 

[Tesseract]

goldsrc is the best engine of all time

StarCraft still gets patched occasionally, so that would be up there too.

 

[Ishma3L]

Half life, 3 updates released

Keep up the good work around here!

 

[nkarafo]

And here i am, asking for Portal 2 updates because later Nvidia drivers have graphics bugs with it and all i get is "lol, you high, this game is old af".

The guy considers Lone Echo, a VR game, as one of his most mind blowing moments in gaming. He's just trolling you.

DonF but I am seriously glad they fixed the spread on MP5

 

[Tesseract]

i'm surprised i never realized the cofactors were wrong, i played like 10000 hours of hl multiplayer

What are cofactors?

 

[Tesseract]

What are cofactors?

old goldsrc class reference for SP and MP code

 

[mcz117chief]

old goldsrc class reference for SP and MP code

I see. Well I was recently re-playing the old Half Life games and I kept thinking that the MP5 spread was off (not accurate enough).

I was wondering who did the updating. Do you think there really is some legacy team working on half life or did it come from some modding community and it got whitelisted?
