The Evolution of Half-Life 1. How the beta looked, and how it evolved into Half-Life. - Games

[QUOTE=astrik.sega]What nuke? Opposing Force was not an official expainsion pack, it didn't "take place" in the Half-Life universe.[/QUOTE] They've also said that it doesn't matter, because it's over. Believe what you want, but it was most likely nuked, if anything, by the Army, or just destroyed after you are put into stasis by some energy burst, or something.

Marc Laidlaw said Opposing force isn't part of the half-life canon, that kinda does matter. A lot.

whats the homepage of quiver? yes i know about love tub , but the love tub page is dead, so can anyone link me to the new homepage if there is one?

I have the Beta (red) HEV arms! does want me to upload them? Also, I have a question about the engineer model (guy in yellow suit), I have him in the Half-Life 1 mods Life's End & Sweet Half-Life but when I search the game pak files it isn't there! so can anyone help me?

[QUOTE=DarkHeart]I have the Beta (red) HEV arms! does want me to upload them?[/QUOTE] They're on v_chumtoad's hands. Anybody can extract them from the model if they want to.

[QUOTE=Ziron]They're on v_chumtoad's hands. Anybody can extract them from the model if they want to.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's what I did! and I also re-origined the v_chumtoad model and compiled on the snark qc.

you have hl1 beta? UPLOAD IT! WE MUST HAVE IT

[QUOTE=doom764]you have hl1 beta? UPLOAD IT! WE MUST HAVE IT[/QUOTE] No sadly I don't have the HL1 beta but if I did I would upload it! Oh! and was Half-Life originally going to be named Quiver?

God damn... that first Barney is forever burnt into my brain. Fuck you, Barney.

awww crap, i was hoping you had it ohwell, the search continues for this beta.

[QUOTE=DarkHeart]No sadly I don't have the HL1 beta but if I did I would upload it! Oh! and was Half-Life originally going to be named Quiver?[/QUOTE] Two projects, Prospero and Quiver, were both being worked on by Valve. Eventually they both merged to become Half-Life.

I'm currently remaking some of the HL1 beta models. Here are a few screens Here is the "Zombie Remake" [URL=http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hlmv2007102814311748ys8.png][IMG]http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3649/hlmv2007102814311748ys8.th.png[/IMG][/URL] Here is the "Gordon Remake" [URL=http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hlmv2007102814170835lb7.png][IMG]http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/4462/hlmv2007102814170835lb7.th.png[/IMG][/URL] Here is the "Shotgun Remake" [URL=http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hlmv2007102813210343cl1.png][IMG]http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/7366/hlmv2007102813210343cl1.th.png[/IMG][/URL] Here is one of my most successful remakes the "Crossbow Remake" [URL=http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hlmv2007102815103656gl3.png][IMG]http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8969/hlmv2007102815103656gl3.th.png[/IMG][/URL] There will be a lot more!

The 'Unknown beta gun' looked like an early version of the tau cannon.

You made me want to play Half-life again.

THAT'S AWESOME! [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=Mooe94]You made me want to play Half-life again.[/QUOTE] Who me?

[QUOTE=DarkHeart] Who me?[/QUOTE] No, postal.

The Unknown beta gun is the rocket launcher i think it looks a little bit like quake's one but still it is rocket i think

[QUOTE=postal]No, we're talkin bout the Half-Life 1 alpha/beta. :v:[/QUOTE] I don't think the Half-life 1 beta was leaked in any way, but surely hl2 was.

[QUOTE=Hey baberiba]I don't think the Half-life 1 beta was leaked in any way, but surely hl2 was.[/QUOTE] It was leaked. I know a few people that had it at one point.

I want to play the Hl1 beta/alpha... but no-one will help me get it. :(

The more times I read this thread, the more I love it. Thanks Postal for the brilliant thread :love:

Yeah... but we've kinda lost track,now, haven't we? Anyhoo... nice avatar!

i hate to be sort of offtopic but there is one thing that bugs me with valve... in the HL1 and HL2 betas there was a sort of swaying effect why is it that they never put those in the game or have the option for it

[QUOTE=Blazehmr]I want to play the Hl1 beta/alpha... but no-one will help me get it. :([/QUOTE] Hey! nearly every Half-life fan is looking for the beta or alpha so you are NOT alone!

[QUOTE=DarkHeart]Hey! nearly every Half-life fan is looking for the beta or alpha so you are NOT alone![/QUOTE] yay?

Hm, some of those pictures have shadows. My Half Life 1 doesn't have shadows. How does one go about enabling them?
