Ivan is so awesome.

Ok, who brought this thread back from the dead?

[QUOTE=postal]THERE! Every image has been re-hosted.[/QUOTE] Gold star for you, sir.

Sorry to bump this, but this thread deserves a second look. I may still have the Half Life and Counter Strike Betas somewhere. My aunt beta tested them. She also knew the girl they used as a reference for Alyx. I think she has the Half Life 2 beta also. Also, great work. I've never been so educated on something I love.

[QUOTE=PrivateRyan]gimmie[/QUOTE]If I could find the discs, then sure. I think they might be at my aunt's house still. If she hasn't lost them. :ninja:

[img]http://img130.echo.cx/img130/5329/bestthreadever5cw.gif[/img] Without a doubt, good job, Postal. Now, Winrar, Gold, Thanks, Informative, what will it be? Wait, I could give you all four, as you made four posts... Or, would you like just one. Your choice :D

I think the unknown/beta gun is the earliest tau cannon

[QUOTE=Tetsmega]I think the unknown/beta gun is the earliest tau cannon[/QUOTE] I agree there. There are similarities.

The beta Vort is amazing I could see it making a comeback in episode two easy, man it's like if duke nukam ate the heat of a vortinaught and absorbed it's strength.

i don't know if this helps but i think there are some half-life alpha/beta pictures in half-life steam store :v: nice thread though i now know everything about half-life! :science:

[spoiler]i know where to get hl2 beta![/spoiler] i like this alot

*Raises from the dead* Yawn. Hey I'm back and Still trying to find the beta's. My question is is there more than one beta? Because some pictures look a hell of all lot different, Like the Hazardous Environment Suit just jumped in. Before there was just bare arms.

Best thread ever.

Really cool guide. Never knew about the HD thing.

Thread delivers.

[QUOTE=astrik.sega]Yes. 1998. Alpha build. Michael Houston. Anyways Quiver maybe starting again, though we need a new team... any takers?[/QUOTE] Who's Michael Houston?

[QUOTE=CowGuy]Really cool guide. Never knew about the HD thing.[/QUOTE] Half life HD has been around a pretty long time.

you can see that robot in the PS2 version though i remember him :) he is annoying

Gordon looks like a monster western bar owner! I like the new one much more.

Mr friendly looks like some kind of silent hill joke. I miss the chumtoad. :(

I lol'd @ old barney.
